I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Yawn! This is one viral attack that induces more boredom & headache than panic! Forget panic, I found it difficult to hold my attention as many scenes left me with nausea as too many people are shown either throwing up dark blood or puking. Was that really necessary? I'd to close my eyes at times and only listen to the dialogues.The bright side? The acting. Grant Bowler as chief medical officer Jim, Vince Colosimo as Col. Hirsch, Zoe Crammond as Ari and Jessica Tovey as Jim's daughter are some of them especially who were serious & sincere in their performances.As mentioned earlier, the movie could have toned down on all those graphic display of victims reacting to the virus infection. Also many scenes were shot so dull. At times, I felt as though something's dangerously exciting is gonna happen but most times, it looked like a documentary to me. Rather than remembering the characters or their valor in fighting the virus, all I can recall is all that vomit :(More fast-paced scenes could have brought more fortune & appreciation for this movie.Verdict: Sorry, stay safe. Quarantine yourself from this one...

The movie is great , fresh story , there was few more movies based on a viruses , but each movie is about zombies \ undead eating flash mutants . this one , is more realistic , you face a problem that can happen any time , you see how is the government react , its awesome , yes the movie is a low budget but its great , the story is fine , the effects are pretty good for the low budget , even the actors are fine , if anybody remember Cooter from True blood , the Werewolf leader? he's a great actor , anyways i am digging to much if you didn't seen this movie yet , you should . you won't regret , and you don't like movies but you like deadly viruses this movie is for you , if you hate both don't even try to watch!

Even Kylie Mole would not be proud of this one. As an Australian I apologise and ask that every effort is made to limit collateral damage. I.e. innocent people outside of Australia viewing this in the hope of being entertained. This movie is so bad that it could actually suck the will to live out of the Australian film industry. It achieves this by being a blight on the resume of all involved. A bit like the nations that did not join in with the invasion of Afghanistan. Those not involved now look intelligent and have saved mountains of money by not touching it. Those who did not participate in this movie look good by default. I am genuinely sorry for the many young actors involved who could have spent the day serving tables and flipping burgers without suffering anything like the embarrassment that is to come for those associated with this movie. The only thing that could have saved it was the seasoned experienced actors, but they too contracted the perennial Australian disease of toxic over-acting and taking themselves too seriously. One episode of "Misfits" ,channel 4 UK, and you can see how TV productions can be done well.

Pathetic, obviously no research went into this especially how they conducted the autopsy, a grade 4 and they autopsies the way they did.Only 2 police officers on the island to control crowd with. Few security officers, pathetic. Gee how did the bloke get into the tunnel without infecting anyone else on the mainland. Crap ending, another pathetic oz movie. Lots of discrepancies. We took the mickey out of it all the way through. Low budget, C grade acting, the pits. Low budget, worthless entertainment. Come on win you can do better than this. The story line was nothing and predictable. These type of virus movies have been round for years
