      Tense, tightly plotted, and bolstered by a stellar cast, Contagion is an exceptionally smart -- and scary -- disaster movie.

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online A bit of a mixed bag at times, its overall well developed character sketches and good performances will certainly keep the attention of moviegoers and no doubt increase DVD sales (as well as, perhaps, sales of Purell). Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service "As slick and polished as this "real" version of "28 Days Later" is, it's an utterly heartless affair." Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 9, 2013 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com It took me a good hour after seeing it for the hair on my arms to relax and the sweat on my brow to dissipate, and if something like this ever did happen, I shudder to contemplate the societal ramifications. Rated: 3/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect With an incredibly talented cast, Burns' words are in capable hands. Rated: 4.5/5 Feb 26, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Contagion might be a more important film in 2024 but it really speaks to the importance of being prepared when mitigating a pandemic outbreak. Rated: 4/5 Feb 26, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Contagion remains Soderbergh’s most impactful cautionary tale for the human species and perhaps his most relevant yet engrossing picture to date.

      Audience Member Matt Damon bites the head off of a bat and spews Covid venom all over Ozzy Osbourne’s playlist Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Patrick F This is a well made film with an all star cast. It was certainly prophetic having come out 9 years before the covid-19 pandemic. The film is a mover and just goes at this break neck pace from start to finish. While that was effective for the first two acts in driving home the fear, it hurt the last act. The resolution felt like it was too rushed. That being said, solid film with a great cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Griffith J A Hollywood approach to a relevant topic. Interesting concepts that mix fear for survival, factual processes, & social effects. Yet it seems a bit over done & low budget. A stacked cast but not enough time with any to shine. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Don T I tend to go against the grain, as I did when I reviewed the fabulous Napoleon. YYMV I guess. I found Contagion to be well scripted, well acted, and a decent score. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Terrance L Interesting to have my first watch of this years after the start of Covid. It's not a "loud" movie that seeks to exploit itself with unrealistic storylines. I suspect that may turn some people off. I respect it though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Igor S It's a good watch. It's crazy, all the similarities between this movie, who came out in 2011, and the covid pandemic. I feel like it's not fair for the movie, that people are talking about it not having tension or being predictable. Of course it won't have any tension of be predictable; we've just been through a pandemic... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
