I went to see this movie with a friend who is a Lab Technician. Talking about the movie after she said she was impressed with how well they had stayed to the protocols and the knowledge of how virus are spread. Other than that we had a lot of not so supporting things to say. First of all we both agreed this would have been better as a mini series as it needed more time. So many of the side bars were not completed, we were left in the dark, but you were wanting to know what happened to these people. Also there were times, ie, when Matt Damon's character hears gun fire from his neighbors house and we never do know what happened to them. Then they are going to the food trucks, but they never do say how they survive those months without food. Lots of holes. Did they end up on the editing floor. Who knows? Perhaps the DVD will have those holes filled in. The acting from all the well known actors was great. It was the editing. I felt I was watching a documentary without the over talking, a documentary has. It may have been better if they had a person telling the story, perhaps some of the 'holes' would have been filled.
In the meantime, if you want to see Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Jude Law plus Lawrence Fishburn and others do a great job, then you will enjoy this movie. For people like me who wonder about this or that, then it was lacking.
2 1/2 stars out of 5.
