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.

Saw this on the shelf in a supermarket for £7 & thought to buy it as I was intrigued by it's synopsis. Though I had different thoughts after watching this film. The Carrier, global incurable virus which is swarming the United Kingdom. A 747 Plane full of 8 survivours is in the sky avoiding the chaos which is unfolding 40,000ft below them. But a few of the survivours are infected & things begin to spiral out of control!The film itself was lacking in kills & dramatic action which I was expecting from looking at the DVD cover & the trailer which looked promising! I mean something along the lines of 2010 remake, The Crazies which not only had a fast paced & great story-line, but had loads of mad things going on in it! It never gets old & is watchable over & over again! If that had been combined with this film it would've been so epic!But this is not the case with this film, which was slow to begin with & kind of messed up with what one of the protagonist's was doing which made little to no sense! Though the beginning & opening credits were pretty cool it did have me wondering how this film was going to play out!The effects which a little bit cheap & but somewhat better than other CGI films with far worse effects & editing! The ending was by far the worst I'd ever seen! It just ended on a cliff hanger (Which I hate!), it literally made me feel abit cheated!I overall would give this film an average rating of 6/10. The film could've done with way more chaotic action & kills. Not to mention the biggest killer in films today with boring drag on story-line! Which could have been cut dramatically!

In today's world of big budget movies and special effects, it's sometimes nice to sit at home and watch a DVD of a local British film. This low budget horror movie has a terrific trailer and I'm a sucker for a good trailer. The Carrier doesn't even feel low budget, so well done to the producers and crew. Anthony Woodley has gone a good job directing.The Carrier is about surviving passengers on a 747 - no vampires, no zombies, nothing grotesque which made it stand out. The pace starts slow, builds through lots of tension and makes you jump. The cast do a commendable job and this is definitely one of the better horror movies I have seen in recent years

The Carrier is a bland and uninteresting movie. The main premise of the movie is that there is a global infection occurring and there is no cure as the infection is resistant to antibiotics. Eight survivors of the outbreak find themselves on a plane leaving from London and soon it becomes apparent that the infection has followed them as there are infected people on board. One of the passengers on board kills some of those that have been infected. But obviously the infection has not been stopped. The plane eventually ends up landing in order to refuel as the pilot wants to proceed to Greenland as there are rumors that there is an infection free zone there. There are also rumors of a cure. The plane is however sabotaged from taking off again an the survivors have to repair the plane if they are to have any hope of continuing. They also have to fight off infected hijackers who want to take over the plane. The acting is relatively bland and most of the effects are bad. Most of the characters are not interesting enough and it's very difficult to get into the dramatic aspect of the film when the drama is mundane. The action is also uninteresting and predictable. The fact that there are other movies with a similar premise which have been done better also doesn't help. Overall this movie is slow paced and uninteresting and does not deserve more than a 3/10.
