As a realistic portrayal of a runaway pandemic of a virulent super-dangerous pathogen, the film did a passable job - so far as it went - but as a enjoyable movie it flops massively. On the upside, the portrayal of the series of events in the months following an initial outbreak - done as a pastiche of scenes - are realistic and not overhyped - more well informed than any movie I've seen. The treatment is shallow though, a deeper exploration of effects on vital services, infrastructure, economy, law and order etc (all mostly ignored), would have been interesting. As a movie it's very poor; completely lacklustre, boring even, with a lot of time wasted on pointless filler. And the scenes have no narrative cohesion at all, really none beyond them illustrating the effects of different pandemic stages. The acting is OK or even good, but there's no material to work with, no storyline (beyond the dry unfolding of illustrated events), fairly weak characters, no character development, no tension, no drama. Which equals boredom. Amazing, considering the subject matter. You'll have as much entertainment reading the events from a spreadsheet, as watching this. Find a good documentary instead.
