Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Fantastic!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Throughout the intro of the movie I immediately noticed that the producer just loved extended and stretched shots, I guess to fill up the movie. We see a man riding a horse for about 2 or 3 minutes, ending up dead by a lethal virus.Immediately after the incident, we see the young vet driving in her car for about 2 or 3 minutes.Then, we see the US army entering the small village for about 2 or 3 minutes.Not much later, we see the young vet driving through town, greeting everybody, again for about 2 or 3 minutes.What I'm trying to say that this horrible movie is so slow-paced, that you start to get bored instantaneously. I felt skipping those boring, long scenes or just play with my phone, because in large parts of the movie, nothing is really happening.There is no action throughout the movie and the movie could not grab me and let go of me, because the plot was so weak, there were no interesting dialogs as the acting was horrible and I was expecting to see "something" happen! But literally nothing happened. The vet was quite annoying with her big mouth and seemed to be the only resident of the village who actually stood up against the contamination of her village (imagine?? only the vet, not even the mayor).I was seduced by the cover of the movie and the title, hoping for an outbreak of a virus! But nowhere in the movie you can see a man in radioactive suit, or do we get to see dead people rising!I hope my review keeps people from viewing this lame movie, as it will ruin 1.5 hours of your time!

. . . which is total balderdash, as the Brit in the cast roped into his first American job might say. Graham McTavish (Captain Riley) says during his DVD extra interview he was worried he'd be fired as soon as he opened his mouth and the crew heard his crappy American accent, but he needn't have worried. This PANDEMIC defect was microscopic for a project plagued by pandemic defects. Since it would take more than a gigabyte to list them all, I will just focus on two.Characters state in the movie that the fictitious setting of "Diablo County, New Mexico" (actually Arizona) is the least populated county in the U.S. Well, I have made many visits to the least populated county in my home state--a state which is one of the 10 most populous--and that county has a population of about 1,800--with NO stoplights and NO McDonalds or other fast food restaurants. It also is my understanding that there are about 100 counties out West and up East LESS inhabited (by human beings, at least) than the county I have in mind. The fictional Diablo County shown in PANDEMIC, however, has a McDonalds, a large original downtown area and an even larger, newer commercial district. The infrastructure, featuring numerous stoplights and heavy traffic in frequent scenes, obviously contains a population well north of 5,000. Plus this particular county is said to have OTHER towns! Not to mention all the ranchers living outside city limits. So to list one of the many crew members pressed into service as "actors" (some with fake names, apparently unable to afford SAG cards) as an "angry villager" is a ludicrous misnomer.Secondly, the plot threads unravel throughout the movie at a rate even faster than that at which the Army's killer virus is mutating. One can only guess who is supposed to have released the virus in the screenwriter's mind--the general dad, who may or may not be involved in a military junta now running the USA, or his totally implausible prodigal son, who spends his first five years AWOL from the "Special (Ed?) Forces" fighting for every anti-Western guerrilla movement in the world, and then the next five years hanging out with America's only ventriloquist veterinarian (I don't even have time to discuss this laughable post-production ADR loop-group screw-up) an his horse farm. It is really terrible a person has to pay just as much to watch PANDEMIC today as they would need to shell out to see AVATAR (and there was at least a modicum of talent involved with this project; I rated the cast & crew DVD "Interviews" extra for PANDEMIC at 7 of 10).

I only chose 1 out of 10 because there wasn't a .5 out of 10.I'll keep it simple. I want the 1 1/2 hours of my life back that I wasted watching this movie.The story line wasn't that bad, but the acting, directing and score (if you want to call it that) were pathetic.The beginning of the movie showed promise as was stated in an earlier review, but the script and the actors ruined it quickly.The music did not fit the movie. The cinematography was atrocious by continuing to show the same still frames seemingly just to fill space. Some parts of the movie were so dark you couldn't tell what was happening.Whoever mixed the sound for the movie should never be allowed to do that again. Some parts of the movie were loud; others were barely audible.

This is one of those films that you forget about as soon as you turn off the TV. There are so many holes in the plot that even with major repairs it wouldn't hold water. The acting is mediocre, at best. The main character completely misses the mark on being the beloved heroine. In fact, I'm sure that I'm not the only one that was happy to see her go in the end. If only as an indication that movie would soon be over.It really was just a terrible mash-up of every army conspiracy theory movie out there, right down to it being in the water.I can honestly say that this was one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long time. I'm usually able to find the merit in any movie, but this one left me grasping at straws. I found myself wishing I'd have let my partner pick out the movie this time. May I please have back my 90 minutes? ...and for the record, a pandemic is an outbreak of infectious disease that spreads through human populations across a large region, NOT a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
