Yikes! Don't waste 28 minutes on this stinker!

Rating: 2/10 (13 June 2009)

I found myself getting into a virus-less rage myself after the really stupid crap started happening. The first 20 minutes or so were quite good, so when the film went south -- quickly -- it was all the more disappointing.
The typical end-of-the-world-type virus wiping out most of Britain was pretty well done, as was the US military coming in to handle the recovery. Then two incredibly implausible, nay, downright idiotic,things happen. A virus survivor -- possibly a carrier -- who should be under tight security, is basically left alone in a warehouse so that her husband can wander in and get infected. After the outbreak is discovered, the city (London) is supposedly "locked down" -- which apparently means you crowd a bunch of people in a basement with big windows on all the doors, and then only lock the front door.
Once the infected husband basically walked right into the "quaranteen" area, I had to turn this stupid piece of garbage off. Did a six-year-old write the script? Don't waste your time. I'm with some of the other posters who find it incredible that this dog got a 7.1 rating out of 10. Most of the people who voted must have been infected with their own mind-fogging virus. I only gave it a 2 for the first 20 minutes.
