Pandemic (2009)

First things first, this movie focuses more on the drama instead of the disaster. It's heavy on the background story of each character, which means it touches more on the audience's empathy. So if you're looking for a disaster movie with a bit of thrill, I suggest not to expect much from this movie. However, it all depends on your taste so I'm not saying it was a bad movie. I loved that it allows you to connect to the characters. It's just that the movie's approach is different from what someone would usually expect from a "disaster" movie.

Some part of the film felt like they tried to stretch it too much. I personally think that the "origin" of the virus was kinda lame and got me thinking, "that's it?" so I felt like it was unnecessary and that they could have come up with a better origin or history of the virus.

Perhaps one thing that allowed me to enjoy this movie is the fact that I watched it during the quarantine due to COVID19. It's like seeing a whole sense of reality inside the movie. The panic, the lock down, the hoarding, the spreading of the virus. If you're looking at this movie right now in your homes because you want to watch something related to our current situation, then yes I would suggest you watch it. I believe the movie was able to exhibit the importance of staying inside your house, social distancing, and basically everything they tell you to keep yourselves safe.

Also, you might cry.

PS. I gave 2.0 for the rewatch value simply because I don't really rewatch stuff. It doesn't mean it's real bad.
