It's as if someone found the script for 'Zombieland' and took out all the funny parts. Granted, we must remind ourselves this is not a zombie flick, it's a virus flick. Nothing happens to the infected except for death. The only device of suspense in a virus flick is the avoidance of being infected. In that respect this film is a success. It never becomes kitsch and the breakdown of our false loyalties (this films' take home message) was well executed. But I assert that realism is not the way to go when handling a virus flick. The circumstances are depressing enough, please don't end on a existential note as well...because, ultimately, all that comes across is a one dimensional failure of a successful idea.
The cinematography's good, the acting's good, the message, again, good but the last note unfortunately comes off empty and hollow.
