Coronavirus done gave Contagion a second wind

[phillycavsfan]

always wonder why a bunch of Hollywood stars team up to do a movie that's not really that good...

The director. Soderburgh is a legend.

is this movie actually good or just strangely predictive?

A solid 7.5 to 8 out of 10 and easily the best pandemic movie ever made.

I never really could wrap my head around why Mitch was immune to the virus.

They never made it clear in the movie.

Because he had O+ blood

compared to what other pandemic movies?.....

Outbreak


Pretty much everything else is surreal/sci-fi. Twelve Monkeys, The Stand, 28 Days Later, all the rest of the zombie movies, etc.


Read a few books about pandemics - Earth Abides, The War against the Chtorr series, The Dog Stars - but they're always post-apocalyptic books about what happens afterwards and only have flashbacks to the events.

Why is this nygga acting to surprised that real doctors (And at times news reporters also) make cameos
in movies?

Edit: If anyone is wondering the doctor is Sanjay Gupta, he very well known

Haven't seen it in a long time but I walked away thinking it was just alright. The premise and the idea of what it is was more interesting than the movie itself for sure. Couldn't name even a character in the movie, very forgettable, but I remember the big scenes.

[lamont614]

[Kaypain]

This shyt is crazy how similar shyt happening right now with the movie

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Contagion low key was spot on...down to the social distancing and all that. Creeper me tf out

 

[Gotright]

Y’all need to watch The Road. It’s actually on YouTube

Watch Outbreak next if you haven’t seen it in the last 5-10 years

any more suggestions?

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

any more suggestions?

For apocalyptic films check 28 days later, and 28 weeks later. Those are more zombie movies but still about an outbreak of a virus

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

any more suggestions?

I’ve seen people recommending 12 Monkeys. There’s another one I saw ppl on my fb recommending but I can’t remember

 

[NormanConnors]

Are you guys talking about the show on Netflix?

That's containment, some of the same concepts tho with quarantine and etc
