ridiculous rating

Let's be realistic.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie had potential, I will definitely say that much.But it ended up being a less than mediocre movie, because it turned out to have a storyline where you just don't immerse yourself.The characters were flat and one-dimensional, and that ultimately started to quickly deflate the movie. Why would you immerse yourself into the movie and its universe if you didn't care about the characters that were in that particular universe?"The Carrier" had fairly good acting performances, despite the actors and actresses having very little to work with.The storyline in "The Carrier" was straight forward, although somewhat idiotic as flying around in an airplane is a very temporary means to such a disaster. as fuel becomes a crucial factor very fast.There wasn't a particularly present feeling of a threat from whatever that infection was. And was a crippling anchor around the movie.

The world becomes infected with an antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A group opts to fly to Greenland where they understand there is a cure. They get forced to land and have issues. The infection causes large deformities i.e. Elephant Man look. There is internal conflict in the group as one person believes they should stay put for humanity. It becomes loose alliances and every man for themselves.The film was more drama than horror. It was low budget and I thought I was watching a made for TV production due to the sound track and lameness of the script. Nobody wears gloves or uses alcohol wipes or bleach. Recommend "Carriers" or "Quarantine 2: Terminal" instead.Guide: No sex or nudity.

Certainly not less than a 6 for me this film and to be honest, in my opinion this is a pretty decent production.Though I fail to see directly where the film's stated estimated £3 million budget comes from or goes as such, unless the cost of using the plane for the main set piece used a big chunk, nothing about this film indicates or shows it to directly be a relatively budget based film. As simply put the production values are great on this film.The story is fairly solid as is the acting throughout for the best part even if a few dodgy aspects towards the end of the film. Though a better back story to the film would have been good to see even if to add just several minutes more to the running time. Yet another film I fail to see or understand the low average rating for as certainly 1 of the best budget films I've ever seen.

The world is going to hell in an antibiotic-resistant- plague powered hand cart. Soldiers are shooting people dead on the street and the suburban houses of the infected are set a blaze.A bunch of people manage to get aboard a plane and make a dash for it. Locked in to a confided environment, with the potential of infection aboard and the world burning below, this is dynamite.Production, acting and writing are sufficient to carry all this off and is very tense and moving in places.Happy days?No. The problem with this film is the plot. To unfold the way it does the characters have to make one shockingly ill-thought out choice after another. You know in horror films when the guy goes down in to the cellar on his own just to find out what that scrapping noise is? Well every single character in this film does this, about every six minutes.This sounds nit-picky for what is essentially a sci-fi film; but it is so annoying it distracts from the film."Hey Gary I'm just going to pop out and have a chat with this guy who has been trying to kill us for the last twenty minutes.""Right-oh Fred, want to take this gun with you mate?""No I'm sure it will be fine. Just sneeze into my mouth for good luck"The ending reaches an appropriate climax but I was left wondering what was the point in it all.Good acting and production hung on a distorted framework.
