Truly Dreadful Film

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I watch 2 or 3 movies per day in my free time and this was probably the worst movie I have seen in over a year.. Movie was extremely suspenseful, but the end just died out and left you hanging.. Was extreme waste of resources and time. I thought josh hartnett scenes were really good but you don't even know what happens to him and his wife at the end.. Also would have liked to seen what happened to the old couple. Also don't know if the black guy dies because the bikers could have shot each other or someone could have shot them through the window. Everyone wants to know an ending so producers should put them in every movie

"Nothing is left. The radio stopped. There's no more planes or helicopters. When's the last time we heard anything other then birds?" After a man made virus escapes the entire world is threatened. The fast moving and fast acting bug is bringing about the end of the world with no hope for a cure. Three couples each deal with it in their own way. Even though their stories and experiences are different they realize that life revolves around one thing, love. For some reason ideas and plots for movies seem to come in clumps and no matter what they get made back to back to back. Armageddon and Deep Impact came out very close together. So did Volcano & Dante's Peak, Olympus Has Fallen & White House Down, and Legend Of Hercules and soon Hercules. This movie is part of the new up and coming trend, movies about a man made virus that causes the apocalypse. Contagion, It's A Disaster, Goodbye World and the more recent ones just to name a few. All of them have their good qualities but like so many copy cat movies they are never as good as the original. This one is no exception. Overall, good movie with a very good cast but it is very depressing so you must be in the mood for it. Not as good as Contagion. I give this a B-.

"Parts per Billion" is that movie where you see the characters and can't help but like them because they are spectacularly flawed. They are human and you can relate. It is also the movie that you pray that there will be a happy ending but there isn't.The film follows 3 couples as they are faced with the reality of a biological weapon which is killing the human race. We are told that it will last exactly 8 days and until then you would need pure oxygen to survive.The first couple is a lawyer and her writer husband who are in their basement as they wait out the 8 days. You see their lives and what has led them to that moment. They are connected to the second couple (an old married couple) through the writers sister (a nurse) and through the lawyer representing the man in court.The second couple is an old married couple who are directly linked to the disease. The man helped develop the pathogen for money so as to care for his sick daughter. We are shown their attempt to survive and the point where they are standing in front of a hospital.They are linked to the third couple (a young engaged couple) through the man who is their grandson.The third couple are a young and engaged pair. This couple seem to hold a lot of the films focus as they are at the beginning of their marriage while the others represent the middle and end. The young couple are seen from the moment of their engagement to the woman telling her fiancé she is pregnant. While we see where the others are from the beginning we do not see the couple.The film leaves you feeling very depressed as you are left not knowing if the lawyer gives up and runs outside before the 8 days are up or if the old couple died because they could not find anymore oxygen. One thing we do find is that the young couple died in each others arms shortly after she told her fiancé she was pregnant. AS one can imagine this was a heartbreaking discovery and makes the watcher feel depressed as you couldn't help but hope that they lived and were happy.All in all it was a good film which unfortunately will not get the attention it deserves.

This was a waste of an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. I never write reviews on movies, but I just had to for this, to prevent anyone else watching this pile of garbage and going through the torture and torment I did.This is one of the, if not thee worst movie I have ever seen. Even with a decent cast and good acting it still couldn't help this movie . I can not believe that I kept watching this after the first 30 mins?? I guess I thought the next 60 mins just couldn't be as bad as the previous 30. It was almost like someone shot all the scenes of a movie, shuffled them and linked them altogether. I spent most of the movie confused and I was so relieved when it finished. It wasn't that I didn't get the story line, I did. I was just so confused as to why the actors agreed to such a shambles of a movie.PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MOVIE. Find something ANYTHING else to watch.
