film is awfully good!


people can whine about what movies should and shouldn't do... but this was very interesting covering many different aspects of the situation.

I'd watched it years ago, before our real pandemic, then again during and it do an amazing job covering so many related aspects, ahead of it's time: various people and political reactions, virus creation, a little about anti-vax, school closings, looting, business disruption....

Was going to watch it back when our pandemic started, but decided it would not be mentally beneficial. Now that we have settled in, and know a lot more, it was good to watch again and see how they nailed it in the writing.
