How many more VIRUS outbreak films are they going to make? Is there not enough already?

Another virus sweeping world wide and the brave survivors struggling for a cure against insurmountable.....blah blah blah.

It's a real shame considering some of the good actors involved, but after watching that dismal trailer and losing count of tired cliches, I think I'll give this one a pass.

It's clearly contagious. :3

Average movie with a sad ending, but yeah this zombie tread as been going on for what now 15 years solid. Every week there is another b graded zombie movie and so on. Worst they will never be able to do it like good old Lucio Fulci did with Zombie 1979

You either do zombies or infected, half assing both and putting them on 1 movie is lazy.

also I learned :

Cell phone and utilities infrastructure keeps on trucking even in a middle of an disaster.

There are no guns in LA for infected to breach the compound.
its easier to mark an x on all cars with no gas than the other way around.
People resort to cannibalism when there are still dozens of warehouses and malls filled to the brim with food.
