Very well executed

Lack of good storyline.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

And all star cast helps a lot. Love these disaster type of movies.

It was a bit contrived but still not bad for a TV movie. These types of "canned script" movies usually drive me nuts -- too many characters making amazingly stupid decisions, at least one totally heartless idiot, at least two heart-wrenching side stories, one person you really know "must die", and of course technology failing just when it is most needed. And this movie definitely has it's fair share of all the above, but there was just barely enough "reality" to make it nominally believable. It's certainly entertaining enough to be a Saturday-popcorn-movie but I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it.This movie is worth watching for no other reason than to see Martin Sheen playing a right-wing conservative wacko. And a mean-hearted, evil one to boot. Lindsay Wagner actually did pretty good portraying an infectious disease research doctor caught in the middle of a public crisis. And just like pretty much all TV movies, it has a satisfying ending -- the good guys win and the bad guys lose.

I would agree with the UK person's comment. No, it's not a great movie but it was entertaining. Hey, anything that holds my interest while I'm on the treadmill is a good thing. No Martha pun intended. Besides it's another Martin Sheen, white house movie. Maybe he should think about politics for real.

Cruise ship gets some deadly disease and scientists work to find a cure before everyone on board dies. Meanwhile, the boat is not allowed to dock and the passengers are getting scared and restless.It has a low score, but it is not too bad for a TV movie. Entertaining for a Saturday afternoon, but nothing special. The acting is not too bad. The script is fast enough so that its predictable moments are not too bad. The special effects are pretty rubbish, though: all the external shots of the boat and surroundings are computer-generated and look like Toy Story rejects.If you ignore them, though you can pass the time away happily enough.
