Contagion

SF: I was expecting a rehashing of Outbreak or Black Death  but this went for a more understated tone. The realisim was interesting and refreshing, adding more to the genre. However the sheer number of characters was rather unnecessary and dilluted the film. It became rather unengaging and what good qualities it had faded. Despite the big names Jennifer Ehle carried this and deserves credit for being the only character worth watching. 4.5/10

50 Eggs: It's realistic, but not in a scary 'this could really happen' way, but rather a boring 'oh is the News still going on about this' way. Some good moments mean this could have been saved by a shock ending but instead they chose the most mundane resolution to an epidemic you could think of. 5/10

DonkeyB: n/a

Overall - 4.75/10
