Review of Contagion (2011) by Lightlysalted — 12 Sep 2011
The movie was oddly mellow for having the world suffer a highly fatal plague. That is to say there were no intense situations or extraordinary circumstances that would transform a character into something beyond a small piece of the puzzle.
Each person had a small roll to play and none of them went beyond that. There are two sides to that coin - on one hand, you had a disjointed story of various people and their outlooks on life, death, family and duty - on the other hand, you got to see a wide variety people's reactions in what could be a very really world phenomenon.
I didn't know how to feel coming out of the theater; the movie wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, hence a 7/10.
