Movie Review: Contagion

Brief Summary - Initial symptoms include sneezing, coughing and headaches...then you seize, froth and die and in the blink of an eye millions of people are infected... Meanwhile Health officials are scampering around trying to find out why? Viewers get to watch how the Center for Disease Control and the World  Health Organization would attempt to handle such a plague as society falls apart.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 Contagion earned a 5.8

Movie Strengths - Real world appeal, star studded cast, fluid plot, lots of dead people!

Movie Weaknesses - The wrong characters died and sadly all the annoying ones lived.

Final Thoughts -This movie is okay... it adopts a more serious tone than it predecessors "28 days later, 28 weeks later, Zombieland, Resident Evil etc."These movie ALL  share a common theme -  global demise at the hands of an unknown, highly contagious, fatal disease; and although its not original Contagion minor plot twists are somewhat different.
