Affleck, Cavill don’t disappoint in ‘Batman v Superman’ film: bit.ly/223ddW1
“Pandemic” touches base on modern viruses but doesn’t do so in a creative or interesting way. “Pandemic” serves as an action, sci-fi thriller about the outbreak of viruses. The film stars Rachel Nichols, Missi Pyle and Mekhi Phifer as they take on a deadly virus. Directed by John Suits, this movie reflects on past viruses like Ebola, SARS and Zika. While occurrences like these have become somewhat common, “Pandemic” takes a more futuristic approach and imagines what life would be like if the viruses spread all over the world. One thing I liked about this movie was the opener. I could sense the tension, frustration and panic almost instantly. I thought this was a good start to the movie because it keeps viewers on their feet. I didn’t enjoy the framework of the movie because it reminded me of the 2009 horror/comedy “Zombieland,” which has a similar concept to “Pandemic.” As much as I like action and sci-fi movies, I thought the
Miley experiments with weird lyrics, beats in surprise album: bit.ly/1ZXbZMu director focused on a concept that has already been done. “Pandemic” demonstrated a great amount of teamwork in the film. The teamwork was one of the things I enjoyed most about this movie because it teaches the audience that despite your differences, you can always work together to defeat the odds. However, I didn’t like how “Pandemic” was in the first-person perspective. It became confusing when I wasn’t able to distinguish all of the characters. Also, I didn’t like how they all had cameras attached to their helmets. The jolts and frequent movements made me a bit anxious. I was unimpressed by this movie because it reminded me of something I’ve seen at least three times. Although I like that “Pandemic” is futuristic, the concept is all too familiar and overused.
