Synopsis

Steven Soderbergh tries to wipeout mankind in this intelligent epidemic thriller with a sick ensemble cast, slick production values, and loads of suspense. An airborne virus is sweeping the globe taking millions of humans with it. A cross-section of those yet to contract the contagion--scientists, doctors, officials, conspiracy theorists, regular people--battle against and grapple with their impending doom. Starring Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Elliot Gould, Jude Law, Laurence Fishburne, and Gwyneth Paltrow. "The movie is morbid fun" (Time Out New York).

Soderberg at his smoothest. The first three quarters are perfectly taught and gripping, as the epidemic explodes, the opportunistic blogger spreads his own poison and the CDC struggles conscientiously to defeat the virus. And then, as so often happens in this sort of movie, the story dissipates into banality and blandness. Oh well. If they had managed to come up with a more satisfying ending (i.e. a more disturbing ending), I would have given it a four, if not a five.
