"Contagion" is, imho, even better. Where this one is still very hollywood-y in its narrative, "Contagion" is more rooted in realism. With the hindsight of what ended up happening, it´s pretty eerie how much that movie accurately predicted. 😮

[@Yensid02617146]

Contagion vs Outbreak is similar to the comparison of Deep Impact vs Armageddon.

[@TransHippie]

You're right to use the term "method" to describe Hofman. He's a "method" actor which focuses on personal immersion into the state of mind of the characters. One of the greatest acting anecdotes I've ever heard came from the set of The Marathon Man, in which he is portraying a character who has been on the run for several days, and is exhausted, so he deliberately stayed awake, and when he showed up on set in his obviously distraught physical and emotional state, the classically trained Laurence Olivier asked him why, and after hearing it explained, Olivier said "Why don't you try acting dear boy; it's so much easier."

The original “Andromeda Strain” -probably one of the most realistic science fiction films. A bit more thoughtful in its pacing it might not play well in todays rapid edit culture. “The Omega Man” -with Charlton Heston (remade as I am Legend) but enough significant differences and carries the theme of a biological outbreak that causes society to collapse. Bonus points filled with 70’s fashion and cliches and music. “28 days later” -not a zombie movie but a virus movie. “Doomsday”- “MadMax” meets “Outbreak” meets “28 days later “ meets “Escape From New York “ “The Plague Dogs”- animated film that follows animals that were experimented on and their horrible experiences. Tough themes and imagery but I liked it. So there you have a list of virus themed monsters movies across a wide spectrum of styles and genres.

[@HSR107]

I'm going to second Andromeda Strain. The original from 1971, not the 2008 remake. It's much closer to the novel. The new one is prettier and faster but the old one closer to the novel and the slower pacing until the end helps the stress of the situation creep in better. Also, I am Legend (2007) with Will Smith wasn't actually a remake of Omega Man (1971) with Charlton Heston just like Omega Man wasn't a remake of The Last Man on Earth (1964) with Vincent Price. They are all different adaptation of the book, "I am Legend" (1954) by Richard Matheson.

The bomb in the opening scene is a real bomb, the BLU-82 ‘Daisy Cutter’, it’s called a “thermobaric” bomb, also known as a fuel-air bomb, it’s the predecessor to the GBU-43 ‘MOAB’, it spreads a fine mist of aerosolized flammable mist and then detonates the mist, completely consuming the oxygen in the area of effect, these are also called ‘vacuum bombs’ as they create a momentary vacuum immediately after the fireball explodes.

The thing on top of the plane is a radome. A radome is a housing or fairing for a radar.

They showed us this movie in middle school science class when we were studying viruses. Though it is a movie with lots of Hollywood conveniences, it depicts a worst-case scenario of a viral outbreak that is frighteningly realistic at times. And needless to say, it's highly relevant in a post-pandemic world. Though COVID is nowhere near as deadly as the fictional Motaba, the movie shows the severe danger of a contagious virus that rapidly mutates. It's a cautionary story. COVID might have a comparatively much lower mortality rate than Motaba, we should feel somewhat lucky that it does, as a Motaba-like virus is an extreme yet real possibility.

[@burkeiowa]

I saw this movie in a movie theater. But the roll of film was fed the wrong way. So the image was flipped from left to right. Unfortunately, the audio track runs down one side and not the other. So we saw the audio track running down the side of the screen, and some of the video was running through the area the sound system reads. So it sounded somewhat like the noise of a helicopter for the first 5 minutes until they finally stopped the film, flipped it around, and pulled it through. Unfortunately, the timing was terrible. The main dialogue in that time involved people wearing biosuits that prevented us from even trying to read lips. The last thing we saw before they stopped the film was the aircraft approaching the village. We did NOT see anything drop from it. After a few minutes, they had it worked out and pulled it forward. The next thing we saw was the blast. We didn't even see the suspenseful and mysterious bomb drop. After that, the movie started to make sense, because we could hear it.

We watched this in the movies when it was release. I sneezed after the movie theater scene and the people in front slouched down LOL!

28:32 That's an AWACS if i remember correctly. The disk is a RADAR dish to monitor airspace. Btw, Star Trek has a similar technology on the Nebula Class (idk how much of TNG you have already watched.,)

If you like Dustin Hoffman movies, then you MUST see 'Tootsie', 'Last Chance Harvey', 'Hero', and 'Stranger than Fiction'. Some of those are Not the most highly-rated, but they are all heart-warming.

The town where they filmed "Cedar Creek" is Ferndale California. I live about 30 miles north of Ferndale, and know several people who were extras in this movie. It was QUITE a big "to do" locally when this was filmed! A friend of mine was the manager of the local movie theater at the time, and Dustin Hoffman dropped off and picked up his kids from a movie.... I showed up two minutes after they left, LOL.

I was living in Eureka at the time (Worthington Elementary). My dad's boss gets blown up in the truck.
