I thought the first movie was lousy. I watched this one with extreme prejudice. The movie starts building the characters of 2 stewardesses. Then as they help and greet passengers we get a glimpse of the passenger backgrounds. We already know there is going to be an infection, but who? The co-pilot is sick. He thinks he got it from his dog. There is a woman on board from an apartment building. Her cat is with her. The cat had left the building which she claims is very unusual. There is a man with some hamsters. Another man helps him with the hamsters and gets bit. There is an elderly man who is sick along with his wife, and a woman who has just returned from overseas, and a few others. A man is watching the events unfold from outside the apartment building from the first picture on his laptop. This one picks up where the other leaves off except the action is in an airplane.Once a passenger gets infected and isolated in the restroom, the plane is told to land. It hooks up to a terminal where they are quarantined. Now it is just a matter of who lives and who dies.The first thing I noticed is they got rid of the hand held camera nonsense and had enough money to make this into a regular movie. They still jerked the camera around when an infected human attacked to give you that terror feel. The animal sounds made by the infected humans didn't seem to be real or coming from the people making them. There is room for improvement as they kept the door open for an infinite amount of sequels.Acting was a lot better than the first one. Better story line. Quick and effective introduction of characters before the action starts.MF/F-bomb, no nudity, some implied sex, no real sex scenes.

After being contaminated by a viral outbreak, a group of passengers on a commercial jet-plane find themselves quarantined at a local airport terminal and must fight to stay alive against the infected passengers and crew running loose in the building.Overall this one here was quite entertaining and a worthwhile sequel. What really gets this one going along nicely is the fact that there's a strong sense of true urgency and panic here as this one really runs with its central concept quite nicely in terms of getting the virus up and on-screen early on here to keep this moving forward. The early outbreak on the plane as the slowly-changing passenger that begins tearing through the plane, offering the first hints something's really wrong here, to the take-down and eventual settling in for their landing at the abandoned terminal gives this a strong set-up that ranges from quite creepy to action-packed rather nicely. Carrying that panic and confusion over into the exit and subsequent realization they're trapped in the terminal, this manages to get a lot of good parts out of the rather chilling situation and manages to give the feeling quite nicely here as the gradual dawning from how they're going to get infected next makes for a really fun time here with this one getting the action-packed confrontations throughout this section. The initial attack on the gangway out of the plane, a further confrontation in the bowels of the plane when they sneak back inside to grab some tools for survival where the infected crew-members begin stalking them and a strong ambush back in the loading dock where the team has to over-power the infected coming at them gives this some really strong action scenes that are a great deal of fun following up the earlier scenes here, and once the containment team arrives this one really picks up considerably. There's a lot to like here as the initial inspection reveals the true manner of infection and the resulting race to get out alive from the building as they overpower and eventually chase them through the levels and storage places in the facility gives this a really enjoyable burst of energy mixed with the thrilling race of trying to escape from them, and when followed up by the grand escape plan that wipes out the remaining members of the group it's even more fun. Along with the rather fine gore here, these here give this a lot to like over its few small problem areas. The biggest issue here is in detailing how the virus ever left the city, as supposedly showing the newscast of the siege from the original to signify they're occurring at the same time means that there's no way to know that same virus had left and is now on the plane, since the agents who bring that up do so in the middle of the movie when there hadn't even been enough time to sift through the wreckage left behind in the original to discover it and pass it along to them to spill out here. This sort of timeline-altering doesn't make any sense and really makes it seem like a total coincidence rather than anything actually done on their part to investigate it. The other big issue here is the recurrence of the found-footage scenes for the entire finale crawl through the heating duct but yet does nothing with it since there's never a chance to do anything but show him looking back over his shoulder, and it's a wasted opportunity merely to capitalize on the original's gimmick. Otherwise, this one was quite fun and enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, children-in-jeopardy and violence-against-animals.

From start to finish the plot was closed and sealed. The fact that a character would be bitten within "minutes" of the film was obvious on where this film was going. The acting was similar to that of a high school play, dramatised and seemed like they filmed the dress rehearsals in the final edit. Many flat lined scenes, numerous mistakes includingLocking down an airport after a virus is discovered. The pilot would of been informed of this mid air prior to landing. Allowing a suitcase containing an anti virus with syringe on a plane after the baggage handler has stated the new "lock down procedures" after 9/11... contradiction??Moving a passenger from Wheelchair to aircraft seat? The passenger would remain seated in his/her wheelchair through the flight. (health and safety)The last scene in which the young boy leaves the woman in tunnel... She's still alive, not dead, he walks off, in the back ground is the airport with NO LOCKDOWN ALARMS/MILITARY/POLICE etc guarding this area...? All in all a very bland, "Sunday afternoon while half asleep after a roast dinner" film. I'll

After finding the first title in the Quarantine series to be an annoyingly clean cut,near shot to shot remake of the excellent movie Rec,I began to hope that the second film would take the series in a far more interesting direction,thanks to the makers deciding to this time make their own,original "Rec"ording.The plot:Flying on a plane fly from LA to Nashville,a passenger (who unknown to everyone has been bitten by a rat that a fellow passenger has secretly brought on board) suddenly becomes very ill and begins to act in a strange manner.Attempting to help the passenger out,air stewardess's Jenny and Paula are pushed to the ground,when the passenger suddenly becomes violently deranged.Hearing the noise from the unfolding events,the pilots decide to make an emergency landing,as the passenger's (successfully) attempt to knock out the dangerous passenger.Informing the airport that they are making an emergency landing,the crew and the passenger's breath a sigh of relief,as they prepare themselves to be helped off the plane and taken to safety,the passengers and crew discover that they may have landed,on what will be,their ultimate final destination.View on the film:Sent straight to DVD,the screenplay by writer/debuting director John Pogue shows a much firmer grip in keeping to the spirit of the Rec series than its theatrically predecessor,with Pogue bravely deciding to not take the simple route of remaking "Rec 2",but instead use the events of the first Quarantine to hint at the destination awaiting the character's.Basing the first 30 minutes of the film on a plane,Pogue and cinematography Matthew Irving shoot the movie in a completely different style to any of the other Rec/Quarantine films,due to using tight,long distance shots to create a wonderful claustrophobic mood,as the character's discovers that they have no where to run.Whilst the second half of the movie does lose some of the claustrophobic atmosphere,Pogue and Irving use low lighting to show how closed off the location is from the rest of the world,as the character's begin to fear that they might never become free from this Quarantine.
