Typically American twaddle

Rating: 3/10 (17 July 2013)

Saw this last night I'm a great fan of Sci-Fi and disaster movies, and had high expectations for this film.
The first 45 mins were brilliant. Great suspense and drama and really felt for the plight of the characters.
After that, the film degenerated into a chase around the world(!). The purpose of trying to find patient zero, was merely used as an excuse to show one action/disaster scene after another, and the plot line became thinner and less plausible with every passing second.
The last half hour was so predictable and boring I should have just curled up and gone to sleep.
And as for the ending, it had the typical spongy, gooey happy ending that so clearly appeals to American audiences.
I'm afraid the plot line is the same old garbage Hollywood has been putting out for the past 10 years - major event, chase scene, action scene, implausible chase scene, stupid happy ending.
This started out looking like an intelligent film - but was really no deeper than the likes of 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow.
28 days is a far superior film.
