This movie finally does the virus-spreading plot right! The all-star cast helped create an emotionally-charged atmosphere that grabbed my attention and provided a realistic view of how this would play out if it happened today.
This movie was a welcome change to the usual romantic Hollywood ending. I did enjoy this movie more than my husband.. he would have given it 3/5 stars.
Only reason why I didn't give this movie a full 5 stars was because of the slow start and the Clooney typecast. I love Clooney, but he's such a one trick pony. I assumed that the relationship between him and Alex would not work. I didn't know how it would happen, but the fact that Clooney played the character gave it away.
