Please don't spend money on this.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I think people are being unduly harsh. The film is ok and worth watching. It's predictable (I predicted the time and manner of death of the main cast accurately) and some of the effects leave something to be desired (compare, for example, These Final Hours which had a super low budget and yet managed to produce some quite good effects).I wish they'd explored the Level 5 infected a bit more. The warehouse scene indicated there was more to them, but unfortunately this aspect was not explored further.

First of all, why are they wearing those helmets when they are out of mesh? You can actually see through them in the gallery! Why don't they use actual rubber or some kind of cloth? This is totally ridiculous, is this out of laziness or stupidity? The Story and set is OK, acting as well, but the rest pretty much is not so good and makes it awkward to watch.

I'm not sure why everyone is acting like this film should be critiqued like an academy award contender. Anyone that know the genre knows it's clearly going to be a bit cheesy with not so stellar acting. Now with that being said, I loved it! I'm a bit of a zombie buff and this was pretty good to me. Much better than a lot of other movies out there. Thought it was decent and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a decent zombie movie that doesn't follow the traditional zombie cliché genre.

Let me start this review with two cautionary notes.1. Most importantly, I watched this on my computer monitor (thanks, Netflix) and it has a lot of hand held camera work. If I had seen this on a full size TV or, more especially, a theater screen, I might not have liked it as much.2. Always remember that the word processing software used to write screenplays for movies like this does not come bundled with optimism.That said, PANDEMIC was a very pleasant surprise thanks to a very strong script and some solid performances from a group of gifted actors. As is today's fashion it doesn't have opening titles, so I had no idea who the actors were. When I looked it up on IMDb I found that I have seen many of these performers on a regular basis for years.The story itself doesn't have many surprises. A global epidemic wipes out most of the population. Worse yet, the infected become monsters with a hunger for human flesh.What was a surprise was how involved I was with these characters. Lauren, the main character, is a CDC doctor working with a team looking for survivors and, ultimately, a cure for the plague. She has crossed the country to Los Angeles from New York to try to find her husband and daughter at their home in Sherman Oaks. She's a complex character with a dark secret, and Rachel Nichols's performance reminds me of Jodie Foster in films like FLIGHTPLAN and PANIC ROOM.I will admit that I fast forwarded in the early scenes, but once the characters arrive at a high school that turns out to be a deadly trap I didn't touch any buttons again.
