First things first, it relies on false advertising to sell. Sure, the back-of-the-box blurb is sorta accurate, but what sells is the name and cover art: there are NO cool gas masks. There are NO big cities affected by a plague. There are no stormy, overcast days mirroring the abysmal dysphoria of a human world threatened by disease. This movie is a Grade-A example of movies being posers in an already bloated genre of films.This film feels like garbage someone put in a candy wrapper and stashed in the vending machine. I rented it from Redbox, watched it once all the way through, and took it back in less than three hours with a look on my face like I was smelling bad cheese. It was horrible! At first, I honestly thought that someone had gotten the "actual" Pandemic DVD, copied the little iOS5 stickers on the center, and replaced the disc with their own shitty independent film.The music is awful, the visual and audio effects are cheap, and at least 50% of the entire runtime is just montage padding of NOTHING. Watching a lady drive her truck, or her and her dorky man-ape friend run about backwood fields for a few minutes to crappy minimalist pop music. The plot is cliché, the writing is actually worse than an Uwe Boll script that diminishes all empathy, suspense, or drama, and you can tell immediately that the entire budget went into renting those tacky Humvees.Overall, I'd only recommend this POS DVD if you have a collection of horrible movies for that sake, because this should be your #1-3 Gilded Disc as a tribute to "Cinema Done Wrong." 1/10 and only because they had the balls to release this film...

It's interesting that this movie is coming out in a time that there is evidence that the vaccine companies and governments of many countries may do something similar at any time. In Ukraine, they're spreading a deadly mutated virus not through the water but by spraying the air from airplanes. Like in the movie, governments are covering it up and not letting mainstream media talk mention it. One has to look at the alternative media on the internet and search pneumonic plague Ukraine to find this deadly pandemic that is infecting 200,000 people a day and is killing people similar to how they die in the movie - their lungs and nose fill up with blood and the lungs basically disintegrate (according to the doctors: total destruction of the lungs) and become black. So far, over a million people have become sick and although the "government" and "WHO" give the "official" number of people dead at 239 (since 10/31), doctors, who gave information to sources other than the official media, are saying that 100s are dying everyday if not more.

Pandemic left me paranoid. I like movies that keep me guessing! There were some problems with the story. I would have liked another scene of Dr. Green and Clay drinking something and then dying. It seemed like those scenes were necessary to the plot but were left out. I didn't like the main female actress's acting. Aren't there better actresses in Hollywood? Was that the best they could find? I know it's low budget but the other actors could act. Clarke has tied for the worst actress, the female love interest in Alvin and the Chipmunks was terrible too. That lady is the worst actress in Hollywood. However, the quality of the acting from the rest of the cast was solid. I've been a big fan of Ray Wise since Twin Peaks and I love it that he always plays villains. The chase scene was too long but I was entertained by the film over all. I am so disappointed that Jason Connery didn't do a cameo in the movie. He's such a cutie! Overall the movie is suspenseful and owns up for being a low budget film. With all the hype about the pandemic we are facing in our nation, I would say this is a must watch film, it kept me entertained. I like movies that the plot isn't something you pick up on in the first 10 minutes of the movie.

This is an entertaining thriller. It's definitely not an Acadamey contender but it's got a good ride for the audience. Even though it's not a deep, meaningful movie; the movie goer is left pondering different elements of the story line. The acting's fine. This is a good popcorn movie to watch. Pandemic is Jason Connery's first film to direct and there are some minor mistakes, but nothing that makes this film a screwup. He's has potential of being a really good director. I don't think anyone who was involved in making this film would be embarrassed by it. It's a low budget film that delivers. Any movie, that can take the audience's mind off from their daily lives, is a success. That's what movies are all about.
