Outbreak
To begin with, I would like to say that Dustin Hoffman together with Morgan Freeman make this movie to be top notch. Regardless, this is a movie that it's ahead of it's time. To some extent, it does seem a bit too unrealistic because of two aspects which I'm going to address in the following lines.
The scene, which made this movie out of this world, is the amount of time they needed to find a serum for the virus. It is true that they already had had the serum for a virus that they had eradicated a few decades prior, which seemed similar to the novel Motaba. It is blatant that it wouldn't have taken just a few hours to find a serum, even though the virus is similar, having just a few mutations.
The second aspect which had made this movie too unrealistic is the fact that people would be able to eradicate whole cities with the possibility to destroy a serum together with it.
Regardless, I think that the movie is great, having no hiatus. It had caught my attention since I had played it.
In comparison to 'Contagion', which had a more comprehensive vision, we may find out that the army force is more ubiquitous in 'Outbreak', stopping the citizens from creating mayhem. Furthermore, in 'Outbreak' the virus had somehow managed to be alleviated in Zair and a city from California but at the end of the movie it is thought that it had spread throughout America. In 'Contagion' it is spread world-wide.
If I had watched it a few months prior, I wouldn’t have thought that this would have been plausible. Unfortunately, I have changed my point of view in the last month. Therefore, I think that almost everything is possible.
Given the above mentions, I totally recommend this movie to everyone, mostly to people who are curious to find out how different scenarios would look, even though it doesn’t touch a lot of aspects about the virus itself. Furthermore, I think that we are going to understand it with a breeze, given the fact that we are living during an outbreak.
