I may have made an error in judgement in my choice of film this week, but in my defence the trailer looked quite good. I may have been better off seeing Real Steel (ha).
The introduction showing the subtle spread off germs was disturbing to say the least, it went downhill from here starting with the discovery of the dead. Morbid, I know. Jude Law has gone up and down in my expectations with the amazing Talented Mr. Ripley and the not so amazing Repo Men, quite roller coaster like. His fake Australian accent in Contagion was overly stereotypical, he even went as far as saying "crikey". Marion Cotillard was as stunning as ever, but was hardly seen in the film, I actually forgot about her character at one point. She was definitely not used to her full potential. As for the others, Matt Damon seemed to fade into the background and Gwyneth Paltrow was dead within ten minutes.
Long story short, it was a typical disaster movie with everyone doing what they are told they shouldn't. By my calculations, we'll all my dead by christmas.
