Max Leach (yeager501) First things first, it relies on false advertising to sell. Sure, the back-of-the-box blurb is sorta accurate, but what sells is the name and cover art: there are NO cool gas masks. There are NO big cities affected by a plague. There are no stormy, overcast days mirroring the abysmal dysphoria of a human world threatened by disease. This movie is a Grade-A example of movies being posers in an already bloated genre of films.This film feels like garbage someone put in a candy wrapper and stashed in the vending machine. I rented it from Redbox, watched it once all the way through, and took it back in less than three hours with a look on my face like I was smelling bad cheese. It was horrible! At first, I honestly thought that someone had gotten the "actual" Pandemic DVD, copied the little iOS5 stickers on the center, and replaced the disc with their own shitty independent film.The music is awful, the visual and audio effects are cheap, and at least 50% of the entire runtime is just montage padding of NOTHING. Watching a lady drive her truck, or her and her dorky man-ape friend run about backwood fields for a few minutes to crappy minimalist pop music. The plot is cliché, the writing is actually worse than an Uwe Boll script that diminishes all empathy, suspense, or drama, and you can tell immediately that the entire budget went into renting those tacky Humvees.Overall, I'd only recommend this POS DVD if you have a collection of horrible movies for that sake, because this should be your #1-3 Gilded Disc as a tribute to "Cinema Done Wrong." 1/10 and only because they had the balls to release this film...

jkinlaw1988 I just finished watching this movie and really wished I would have rented a different one. If you even look at the cover of the movie at your local rental store then you just wasted your time. I strongly discourage anyone renting and especially buying this low budget film. If you look at the pictures on the front and back cover, you'll notice it does not match ANY scene in the movie. It's definitely a misguided catch as to how the movie is going to turn out. This movie was shot in 12 days and from listing to the dialog it was written in 10. Crew members were asked to play characters in the movie because of the $200,000 low budget.

jjbink This is one of those films that you forget about as soon as you turn off the TV. There are so many holes in the plot that even with major repairs it wouldn't hold water. The acting is mediocre, at best. The main character completely misses the mark on being the beloved heroine. In fact, I'm sure that I'm not the only one that was happy to see her go in the end. If only as an indication that movie would soon be over.It really was just a terrible mash-up of every army conspiracy theory movie out there, right down to it being in the water.I can honestly say that this was one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long time. I'm usually able to find the merit in any movie, but this one left me grasping at straws. I found myself wishing I'd have let my partner pick out the movie this time. May I please have back my 90 minutes? ...and for the record, a pandemic is an outbreak of infectious disease that spreads through human populations across a large region, NOT a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.

minnows The DVD cover suggest that the movie will take place in a city, instead of a small town; but hey, it will be a great trivia fact. We all know that this is Jason Connery's first shot at being a director, and for his first project it is entertaining. The only thing I didn't find believable in the movie that the two doctors didn't know each other. In a small town, every one know everyone. Other than that, I found the characters believable. Ray Wise played his part to perfection! I did find the chase scene a little too long, however it kept my attention. I also thought that there should have been more interaction between the doctor, the vet, and the people from the town. I didn't think the vet carried off the part of being a tough, no nonsense person like she tries. Maybe JC was trying to show just that....she knows what needs to be done, but is afraid of making enemies with the wrong people. After all, she is a young vet and hasn't developed many people skills.The music in the middle of the movie when the vet is driving through the town was awesome! I thought it went well with the movie and captured the mood effectively. For a low budget film with a new director, I thought this film was edgy and well made. It got me to think, "Can this really happen in America?" Has this genre been played before? Yes, but who cares! A movie is to be entertaining, and this movie delivered.
