It was so annoying that everyone was acting stupid, I wanted to punch my screen watching this!

Hadn't heard of this so thought we would give it a try, I didn't look at the reviews beforehand so went in completely unbiased. This was an absolutely awful film for a number of reasons; The Characters: Pretty much every character in this film was poorly designed, their motives were increasingly questionable and in some cases would flip at random without any real reason. Also when a 'major' event such as a death or killing of one occurred they tried to make it incredibly meaningful but hadn't really provided the audience with any real attachment to feel something when they died which was poor. I could see what they were going for but from an emotional response respect it did not achieve what they were attempting. The fact that the 'good guys' were actually ridiculously irritating and made so many bad choices that would realistically be detrimental to themselves and their groups survival made them irritating and made you vouch more for the bad guys just to end the stupidity. The SFX: I understand with low budget/indie films you have to bite your lip a little at the quality of special effects as it is only fair but these were downright terrible. The makeup department did a pretty great job but the CGI was just unrealistic and looks like the sort of thing I created when doing After Effects training for the first time in college. The Plot: There are so many plot holes and red herrings. For example, as someone said earlier why are the infected trying to hijack planes? the infection causes no form of superiority complex/Mental impairment it just makes you look deformed so they have nothing to gain from traveling to other places other than making more people look deformed, I know there was the cliche "potential cure" but come on. People would run away to finish off personal vigilante fuelled missions that didn't really help anybody. Two of the cast slowly wandered around watching TV and listening to radio stations just repeating what they already knew which ultimately meant they are wasting time, aren't they supposed to be in a hurry... the infected might be coming, maybe? If they had got their act together this film could have been over and done with in 20 minutes, instead dragged on and on. I know the 'infection' theme has been done over and over again so you can only expect so much but this was just dreadful, I have seen low budget movies create much more satisfying and enjoyable content.

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.

There are some interesting little set pieces here that, at the very least, keep the watcher interested. However the big problem is that the writers have a basic concept of 'plague on a plane' and no idea of how to flesh out the story, the characters or how to end the film. The action is wooden, the character motivations are strange, to say the least, random things happen like people turn up to shoot at people and then just disappear. However the scene with 'the arm' is quite harrowing, the opening scene is full of suspense and the counter play with the other pilot is well done. Shame they couldn't knit it all together.

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 sounded mildly intriguing so we gave it a whirl. How I wish we hadn't. It started off OK, but quickly revealed itself as a very cheaply-made straight-to-video formula horror/thriller. It looked as though it may have been a pilot for a TV serial that never got made (can't think why). Most of the characters are either useless and unreliable or just plain psychos, like 'Eric' who goes around wrecking the group's chances of survival. According to the end credits, it was filmed 'around the back of B&Q in Basildon' or something like that. Avoid.

In the film "The carrier" it follows a group of survivors fleeing of a pandemic. The Film takes the Virus and tries to convince the audience the pandemic is really an apocalyptic moment. The film has every thing a large military presence,news reports about the infected. Then you see the infected with reflexes and reasoning as those unaffected by the virus. The deference is they have tumors growing across their faces. If the "infected don't bother you" the kills will. No one in the film seems to know how to check for pulse. The film relies heavily on bringing back what ever thing they just thought was dead as a action sequence. It gets to the point every act repeats it's self on the next. I was expecting the film to have a plot twist but it only disappointed.

So nice to have an apocalyptic movie without mindless, flesh-eating monsters...no, it's eminently more satisfying to have the 'villians' in a movie be good old-fashioned, self-centered humans. The whole premise of the film is that the world is coming to an end because of human selfishness...in this case, overusing antibiotics which creates a lethal super-bug with no cure. In an effort to stem the tide of the disease, governments have quarantined the populace, halting all traffic from leaving the country. The message is clear...to save the 'body' of humanity, one must 'cut off' (or sacrifice) the offending part, a theme that is revisited often in the film, both figuratively and literally. But of course, no one listens and they all try to leave, infected or not, even killing in the process. Only one man realizes what a successful escape would mean for the world, and pleads with the others to not spread the disease, but is called crazy. The theme would run all through the film until the very end...but what is the ultimate message ? A nicely nuanced film that examines human priorities and what it means to sacrifice a part to save the whole. Oh, and the makeup FX was certainly good.

Good premise, drama and entertainment. I had enough of dead people coming back to. Got lost in some characters who were just a drag and hurt the story. Personally, in an apocalypse, I want all the weak willed people to be dead, not the protagonists in a story. But that's me. A soy boy, wimp free apocalypse
