21st Century Microbiology: Contagion! Fact or Fiction: Coming this September! Warner Brothers' version of a pandemic: Contagion. View the trailer and comment on what you think the movie is about...
This movie was pretty good over all. I think that that the chemicals were in place in the movie and the storyline was pretty realistic. This movie demonstrated and emphasized the very important material that we learn in microbiology, etiology of infectious diseases handwashing and aseptic techniques, microbial growth and study of virulent disease. The best part of the movie was when anarchy and public outrage, riots etc. ensued. I think the movie was very realistic in portrying the finer details such as the incubation period to the time that the disease rapidly spread. It makes me think about the political side of the pharmaceutical companies and their intentions to help find a cure for lethal pandemics.
