Movie Reviews of Pandemic
Movie Review: Pandemic = Panic Minus Three Letters
Summary: 3 Stars
PANDEMIC is a timely reminder of how one case of a highly infectious disease can spread with rapidity through our highly mobile world. Director Armand Mastroani pulls the viewer into the byzantine world of how the Center for Disease Control would confront a nightmare come true. A teenage boy returns from Australia carrying a fatal illness and gets sick on a plane headed for Los Angeles. He dies en route so the plane's passengers are immediately quarrantined. Up to this point, we feel both sympathy and empathy for the stricken. But then the plot takes the first in a series of detours solely to generate what the director feels might be lacking should the film depend solely on the plague to retain audience involvement. When the plane's passengers disembark, one might think that the CDC in conjunction with the federal government would ensure that all the passengers are accounted for. All too easily, one of them slips away to wreak havoc on the general population. A further incredible plot complication lies in that one of the passengers is a big time criminal handcuffed to an FBI agent. A paramilitary squad of terrorists attack the hospital where their boss is being held and they free him. Such digressions dilute the impact of what should be sufficiently involving. Still, the action moves quickly and all too often tragically from scene to scene. There are vignettes of truckloads of wrapped bodies being dumped into communal graves for incineration. It is entirely believable that except for the digressions a plague just like this one could escape to decimate an urban population. We are scared as we watch it and that I think was the point.
Summary of Pandemic
After a nineteen-year-old male dies on a flight following a raging fever and violent convulsions, CDC epidemiologist Dr. Kayla Martin (Tiffani Thiessen) and her partner Carl Ratner (French Stewart) consider the frightening possibilities-the reality of the bird flu, the probability of a biological attack, or worse, a new virus they can't control. But by the time the passengers of the flight are filtered into the ward of a local hospital, the infection is already poisoning sections of Los Angeles, unbeknownst to each victim who passes it on. The virus is spreading, and so is the panic and the fear that it can't be stopped. Also featuring Faye Dunaway and Eric Roberts, Pandemic is now available for the first time on DVD in an extended version with all-new bonus material.
