A really good movie about a major epidemic. We get the technical details in what seemed to me to be an accurate presentation without dumbing it down. Yet it was understandable. We also learn about the various agencies and their priorities and handicaps, and we meet characters who have their own agendas. We get to see the mob psychology has panic breaks out. The cast is excellent, but the all-star actors are not acting in their stereotypical roles. I enjoyed this. Finally, the characters themselves were flawed, each in their own way - like real people. What you see is a very plausible scenario for an epidemic.

Okay, there's bound to be a lot of similarities with this film to the Novel Coronavirus outbreak that's now reaching around the globe with rapid speed. Of course, "Contagion", being a Hollywood film, the virus spread much faster than the real thing as well as caused way more fatalities. As of this writing (2.21.2020) there are 77,767 cases with 2,360 deaths and 20,833 recovered around the world. And that's pretty fast for a virus that was just recognized 12.31.2019 - not even two months ago. Some of the ideas and behaviors in "Contagion" seemed far fetched, but in the end, it wasn't really that bad of a production consideration the nature of virus infections tend to be mysterious and unknown in the first place.

This movie has so much similarities between the coronavirus outbreak.

I really have to say that I was completely underwhelmed by this experience. It's not a bad film but it certainly is no thriller. It's exactly what it says. A film about disease and the spreading of said disease. There's no real connection with any of the characters or any of the stars of the cast. They try with Damon and Fishburne's characters but they spend large chunks of this film absent from the story. It's a messy grab bag of a film that splinters and runs off in many directions for no reason at all. Also, the impact of this global disaster wasn't even depicted to the level one would expect. It certainly takes a shortcut through just what an economic disaster this would create. No "evil" liberal blogger would be able to profit and everyone would be economically devastated as much as anything. Overall, very disappointing.

In 2011 the idea seemed very far fetched and the jargons uses wasn't really connected to the audience. But but experiencing the horror of Corona virus and researching a lot about it the movie makes a lot of sense and it's far more connected. It's actually a visionary movie,just released ahead of time... Because most of us wouldn't have experienced it!

This is not a zombie movie. It is not an overdramatized race to catch the carrier before it infects everyone. It is a rather realistic depiction of a fast spreading contagion with a high mortality rate. As I am watching the spread of Covid-19, I see numerous parallels with the film. OK, the virus in the movie was way too deadly and with a short incubation period, but that made it more easy to contain. The vaccine was developed incredibly fast, too. I mean, it had to all fit inside less than two hours. In other words, it is describing exactly what is happening now, but at a much faster rate. It is therefore important to note the predictions of this film: idiots spreading rumors online, violence from desperate people, supply shortages on every level. I loved how Contagion did not exaggerate almost anything. There is no huge number of deaths, relative to the world's population. There is no dramatic save from the heroes, no karmic retribution against the obvious villains. Even the bad things, they happen, they show the animal nature of humankind at its basest, but the world doesn't end, civilisation doesn't collapse. It's easy to imagine 5 years after the vaccine everybody has conveniently forgot how they stepped on their neighbors to steal their stuff and instead they commemorate the innocent victims. I am still waiting for the epic movie or TV series about the 1918 epidemic. Oh, you didn't know about that? Or you know very little? How convenient the amnesia, isn't it?
