Contagion was a movie that approached me in a documentary style of 'art imitating life' in cinematic form. Previously, l had no desire to see Contagion when I first heard of it. As I predicted, this movie didn't deviate from any of my expectations. Now don't get me wrong. I love docudrama movies, and also cinema that informs the audience like, Lions for Lambs 2007, to movies of different genres like The Day the Earth Stood Still. But Contagion was a docudrama thriller, without creativity. This movie presented itself to me like the science of Nova or National Geographic, without narrative by someone like the late great Stephen Hawkings.
