Waste of time

Too much of everything

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The world becomes infected with an antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A group opts to fly to Greenland where they understand there is a cure. They get forced to land and have issues. The infection causes large deformities i.e. Elephant Man look. There is internal conflict in the group as one person believes they should stay put for humanity. It becomes loose alliances and every man for themselves.The film was more drama than horror. It was low budget and I thought I was watching a made for TV production due to the sound track and lameness of the script. Nobody wears gloves or uses alcohol wipes or bleach. Recommend "Carriers" or "Quarantine 2: Terminal" instead.Guide: No sex or nudity.

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.

This movie starts out with this so called horrible virus pandemic spreading all over Europe but England is the only quarantined. And the virus is so horribly deadly that people with the virus are shot on sight. Yet who ever wrote this mess of a movies knows nothing of viral containment. The army searching people for infection before getting on board a plane only had their uniforms, gloves and a gas mask. For a touch based virus, that was stupid. There was several ways they could have been touched and infected. The character were all horrible people. The pace went to dead slow to complete stop. And let's talk about the horrible virus that makes them get the infected shot on sight of the slightest infection. The cover implies some kind of zombie virus, which is a lie. All the virus does is call massive amounts of swelling of the face. That's it. I'm not kidding, that's it. They're not undead, they're not going insane or cannibalistic, just face swelling. That's it, the world's afraid of super mumps. The only monster here is that the uninfected are killing sick people for looking slightly unpleasant. There was no indication that virus even kills on it's own. The effects are horrible, the make up effects would get someone kicked off of "Face-Off". The CG was all kinds of amateur. They used the same cockpit for a jet as well as a so called prop job. Those two types of planes would have totally different looking windows and controls. Not to mention, they added props to a private jet in one bad CG scene. This is all kinds of wrong and the UK should be embarrassed to have made this dog-pile in an age when adverts have quality CG.

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.
