I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
I enjoyed this film from start to finish. The subject matter is taken seriously and it points out that viruses are man's biggest predator. I'm not sure if this is categorised correctly as science fiction as it focuses on the factual threat of the ebola virus. There is also the added terrorist plot to add more suspense for the viewer which is also quite a real threat.Anyway, I thought Nicole Sheridan was very believable in her part, along with her supporting cast. Definitely worth a watch... 6/10 (really I would like to rate it 6.5)
This Made for Television film features some familiar faces and a well used storyline.Glenn Ford, Robert Vaughn, George Kennedy and many others are featured in this tale of a plague that decimates mankind.Only a few stalwarts at a remote foreign station commanded by Kennedy have been immune.As folks back home continue to succumb to the virus,an effort is made by the research outpost to reach civilization and attempt to quell the spread of the fatal illness. Edward Jame Olmos and Bo Svenson have featured roles as members of the international research station.This film is not a great one, but it does raise interesting issues that face this modern age, It was enjoyable to watch the scenes with rivals Ford and Vaughn in the Oval Office. Enjoyable mostly for fans of the Disaster movie genre.
This movie was based on Robin Cook's Outbreak, but could not be named that because the motion picture Outbreak (starring Dustin Hoffman) was already out. This movie was a good depiction of Dr. Cook's novel, the basic plot of which is similar to that in many of his other books. You will enjoy it if you like medical drama.
Yep, pretty similar to Outbreak, but it does a fairly good job.The usual American TVM stuff; naff cliches, overacting, lots of hairspray, the usual TVM faces, a happy ending and a soft picture finish.Best bit is when Sheridan whacks fatty doctor round the chops with a spade - made me laugh out loud...The plot isn't bad too, which rises this above the normal 2/3/4's that yer average TVM gets. But not that much!5/10
