Hard science fiction that might be too close to home in the covid era.
This movie is so cool! Watched it in high school and loved it since. Just wish it was more accessible to stream.
Slow burning sci-fi thriller about the dangers of viruses and how far is man willing to go to prevent a catastrophic event.
A classic with imaginative design and creative approaches to film making in the 1970’s. A slow burn, with some intense moments. 7/10
I put off this movie because it's older but it ended up being amazing. If you like slow more realistic sci Fi this is a must.
Excellent 70s sci-fi thriller, must see for sci-fi fans
I don't often watch movies from this genre, but this is by all means exceptional!
Fine example of a 70s paranoid thriller...
Amazing movie about outbreaks, it was quite exciting and interesting. Love this kind of movies 😆.
A bit of a slow burn, but interesting concepts and a dramatic final act.
