this movie is just like Outbreak minus all the good parts, how they got all these stars to be in the same movie and have it blow chunks is beyond me. with so many stars the film never sticks to one person very long and then flips around a bit. the only two good things about this movie is Marion Cotillard and Gwyneth Paltrow. there the only reason to watch this movie. do not wast your time unless you have nothing better to do and seen everything else out there. director Steven Soderbergh has done a bunch of good movies, maybe he needed a better budget, maybe he had problems dealing with all the big names in the film like Matt Daemon, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Jude Law etc... everyone wants to be the star in a movie that does not have any. Contagion feels like a made for TV flick for thursday night at 3 a.m. it seems others like it and i am not one of them.
