Contagion is a frightening realistic procedural thriller about the spread of an airborne pandemic virus, its impact on an ensemble cast of characters played by a veritable 'Who's Who' of Hollywood and the subsequent race to find a cure. What makes this movie so compelling is the way Soderbergh is able to show how unhygienic human beings are and how easy it is to create a pandemic. In hundreds of different absent minded ways we touch our faces on a daily basis and in doing so, transfer and spread dangerous viruses amongst ourselves. Next time you're in the supermarket look out for the number of people who pick their noses, wipe their mouths and cough, sneeze and splutter their way past you without any attempts to cover their mouths. They're picking up (and putting back) the fruit and vegetables, handling groceries and even touching your hand when supermarket staff are giving back your card or change! Worse still, a recent survey showed that although 95% of people say they wash their hands, only 12% actually do so and consequently 1 in 6 mobile phones have faecal bacterial on them and 30% of all handbags. I could go on. The only question that remains is how many people will it kill? Anyway, see the movie – it's a thought provoking and scary chiller that taps into the current zeitgeist.Read full review
Covid-19. Today. Now. 2020. This one will frighten you to the bones. Gweneth Paltow, Kate Winslet, Lawrence Fishburne, Matt Damon, Jude Law and Colliard all were excellent in their roles. Its nice to see an American film got this right one the cue.

Wow! How did the movie makers know we'd be experiencing what's portrayed in the movie? Mass graves, lots of deaths, hospitals overwhelmed with patients, etc. Great acting by the actors, and the inclusion of Sanjay Gupta as a commentator about the contagion is great, almost scary because we all know he's a knowledgeable man and is telling viewers the truth about the situation, just like today.

Beginning with Gwyneth Paltrow as patient zero this is a nonstop fast-moving exciting and frightening situation we are actually experiencing except there are many people fighting against common sense reality to wear masks! They would rather be “free, proud and dead!“

Compelling 2011 virus related film that presciently predicts mode of actual origin and is the first to use the term "social distancing". DVD is brand new as advertised and plays perfectly.
