The story flatlines as the crisis escalates, falling prey to pedestrian human drama and improbable conspiracy subplots.

The romance may be risible, but the scenes of mass panic and political desperation are slickly disturbing.

Virus (2013) Sinopsis: Un gran caos se experimenta cuando un virus aéreo y letal infecta a la población de una ciudad de Corea del Sur que está a menos de 20 kilómetros de Seúl. Opinión: Sin dudas una gran película sobre una catastrófica epidemia y las consecuencias sociales y sanitarias que esta provoca. Es muy entretenida, buen ritmo, personajes de los que puedes fácilmente preocuparte, gran diseño de producción y bastante realista, o al menos a nivel asiático puede serlo pese a los ridículos toques cómicos que tiene el cine coreano. Valoración: 5 de 5

From a movie to real life (Coronavirus) Give a chance to this film. It captures the realism of what would happened in a case of an outbreak in real life... and guess what is happening with coronavirus. Very tense and strong movie which I strongly recommend to prepare you of what will happen if everything goes out of control in a deadly virus...

The result? Not so much "World War Z" as World War Zzzz.

Coughs and sneezes do indeed spread diseases in this amusingly feverish thriller, a Korean attempt to take back some of those lurgies let loose by Soderbergh's colder-blooded "Contagion."

Director Sung-su Kim doesn’t spend long explaining how the heck this ravenous form of avian flu has come about, concentrating instead on the chaos as the epidemic spirals out of control.

La película es excesivamente irrealista, siendo incluso absurda en determinadas situaciones, como la parte en la que la chica se preocupa mas por su vestimenta que por su vida, el poco tiempo en que la enfermedad contagia al país o la decisión del gobierno de eliminar a los ciudadanos pero luego al final los quieren vivos. Ademas cuenta con algunos efectos de mala calidad como las explosiones. No la recomiendo. Que potencial desperdiciado, ya que podrían haber enseñado a los espectadores sobre los peligros de una pandemia mientras se disfruta de la historia. Esta película no sirve ni para enseñar, ni para disfrutar la trama. Trataron de lograr ambos y no les salio ninguno de los dos... Que vergüenza, ni siquiera cuentan el porque del surgimiento de la enfermedad! Que hueco argumental gravisimo!!! La película solo se concentra en como toda la situación se sale de control. Si en vez de Asiáticos hubieran sido, yo que se, italianos o cualquier otro los que hubieran protagonizado la película, esta hubiera sido incluso peor recibida... Y que diablos significa "FLU"?
