This movie had potential, I will definitely say that much.But it ended up being a less than mediocre movie, because it turned out to have a storyline where you just don't immerse yourself.The characters were flat and one-dimensional, and that ultimately started to quickly deflate the movie. Why would you immerse yourself into the movie and its universe if you didn't care about the characters that were in that particular universe?"The Carrier" had fairly good acting performances, despite the actors and actresses having very little to work with.The storyline in "The Carrier" was straight forward, although somewhat idiotic as flying around in an airplane is a very temporary means to such a disaster. as fuel becomes a crucial factor very fast.There wasn't a particularly present feeling of a threat from whatever that infection was. And was a crippling anchor around the movie.

This film is definitely good thriller. The characters are acting reasonably, the main dilemmas are actually answered in the movie: 1) why main characters try to stay in a plane: because they believe they can land in non infected city. 2) why infected characters want to board the plane: because they believe somewhere else could be a cure. One note: the movie starts so quick into the plot, kudos to the screenwriter here. SPOILER here: I kinda liked the ending. Basicaly, such kind of story cannot have too good ending anyways. The story quite lags in the middle, because the intentions of some characters are not clear: for instance, what they intended to do with infected on-board, how would they know the amputation even slow down infection etc. The cast is good too, definitely for the genre. The movie is overall better than you would expect and fun to watch (beside the depressing subject), try it out.

Not a great movie by any stretch, but merely a somewhat good movie. My wife got this having no idea of the ratings, and I had read about it, expecting some utter crap movie. Honestly is is quite watchable, a bit low budget, but not nearly a bad movie. It is somewhat suspenseful and was a really good rainy weekend movie!I think some of the really bad reviews are not real. A solid 5.5-6 movie. Acting is okay, effects a bit mediocre, but the music, filming and story are all fairly decent. The movie really got interesting after they got out of the sky and onto the ground! I wanted to lend a real view of this movie. So to sum up,a DECENT rental, you would do far worse. It is English made, and features and English cast, so those that are unable to watch anything that is not USA made or Big budget, just pass it by. For the rest, that want a good movie, give it a try!

The world is going to hell in an antibiotic-resistant- plague powered hand cart. Soldiers are shooting people dead on the street and the suburban houses of the infected are set a blaze.A bunch of people manage to get aboard a plane and make a dash for it. Locked in to a confided environment, with the potential of infection aboard and the world burning below, this is dynamite.Production, acting and writing are sufficient to carry all this off and is very tense and moving in places.Happy days?No. The problem with this film is the plot. To unfold the way it does the characters have to make one shockingly ill-thought out choice after another. You know in horror films when the guy goes down in to the cellar on his own just to find out what that scrapping noise is? Well every single character in this film does this, about every six minutes.This sounds nit-picky for what is essentially a sci-fi film; but it is so annoying it distracts from the film."Hey Gary I'm just going to pop out and have a chat with this guy who has been trying to kill us for the last twenty minutes.""Right-oh Fred, want to take this gun with you mate?""No I'm sure it will be fine. Just sneeze into my mouth for good luck"The ending reaches an appropriate climax but I was left wondering what was the point in it all.Good acting and production hung on a distorted framework.
