Nothing Spreads like Fear-And it's the fear of it that kills us more than the actual thing itself!!...Swine Flu, Chicken Guniya...we have seen those phases of Paranoia in society....but what if it's something so contagious that it's impossible to know how and when you can possibly get it..something invisible, something that cannot be avoided no matter what you try...It's this fear that the movie capitalizes on in what is a thinking person's disaster movie!!...With names like Matt Damon, Kate Winslet , Gweneth Paltrow and the likes..this movie obviously boasts of some good performances...but honestly...it's a movie that can get boring in bits...
The premise is this...an american woman comes back to US after a trip to the far east ( why does everything spread from there?? ) to pass away unexpectedly the next day following which her son passes away...this spreads like wildwire...all across the world from the source who transferred it to her too ( suspense revealed end of movie ) until almost 10 percent of the world is infected...
It's racy at times but at times it's slow...you have to jusyt be in the right frame of mind and you might just enjot the smartness of it...
I'm going with 3 out of 5 for Contagion...
Keep Reelin'...
