Contagion

Today I watched the Blu-Ray of Contagion, which is a movie from 2011.

I'm not sure how I missed this movie when it came out last year. I usually pay attention to movies with big and familiar names and this one has some pretty known actors such as  Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law and Kate Winslet, not to mention it was directed by Steven Soderbergh. I was just flipping the channels on TV the other day when I landed on this movie, but it was already halfway done, and I hate watching movies halfway so I got the Blu-Ray.

The movie is what would happen when (not if because it WILL happen) an outbreak of a deadly virus hits the world stage. People will freak out, there will be riots, thefts, murder, everything that is expected with something that'd basically could kill a huge chunk of the population. It has happened plenty of times throughout human history, and it's only a matter of time until it happens again.

IMDB rates it at 6.7 but I give my own personal 9.0 for this movie. I'm all about possible apocalyptic scenarios.
