Last night I watched Contagion. It is about a disease that is killing lots of people and how the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization(WTO) tries to stop it.
I thought that there were just too many stories lines and famous people for this movie to really work. I never really felt emotionally connected to any of the characters. I almost felt like this is a propaganda(in the original sense of the word) piece for the CDC. Basically telling people, "If some new disease starts killing people, these are all the experts and the amount of work they are willing to put in to save the world."
I'm not really sure I would recommend this to anyone, it's not bad just not very interesting.
IMDB: The virus in the movie is based on an actual virus, but it probably wasn't as contagious.
