SO many famous actors so good directing , big budget, nice story in the first 30min ... and then ... NOTHING !i cant understand what they are trying to show us..
Bad script, too many protagonists with short stories .. At least focus at them and show us more.. or focus on the government and how they failed to handle this (instead we see nothing of how US or Europe tried to do)
Anyway, good movie but i dont get the point, it could go so better.
Still deserves an easy 6/10

Considering the film shows how methodical and painstaking work by government agencies can effect change, the movie clips along at a remarkable pace. it's a breathless roller coaster ride with plenty of science packed in nonetheless. An exponential ascending course is taken exactly like the epidemic. It begins with a slow-burning beginning where a host of characters are introduced, and then comes a building drama up to a fever pitch followed by a dreamy epilogue. There's a bunch of great actors who are wholly convincing and likable (despite limited screenplay help). The interlacing sub-plots work really well - characters are linked together by the virus and caught in the epidemiological timeframe. There's danger and dynamism in the story with some real shocks in store, and above all just brilliant direction that draws all the elements together and grabs the viewer by the seat of the pants.

Contagion (2011) This is an outbreak film about the spread of a new virus and attempts of medical researchers and public health officials to identify and contain the disease. The loss of order provides the tension. In a pandemic, can they finally develop a vaccine to stem its spread. This movie features an all star cast that includes Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Winslet. This film moves very slow for the first hour and not much faster in the second half. It's not a bad flick, just leaves you wanting something more.
