Very well executed
Cathardincu
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Blistering performances.

This wasn't terrible, its actually a pretty decent B horror flick. Lots of inventive ideas, and interesting passengers as zombie fare. Its scary in sections and while lacking a budget, any actor you've ever heard of before and going straight to DVD this is better than you'd expect.The story follows an airliner that gets grounded after one of the passengers begins to exhibit symptoms of a virus, vomits all over a stewardess and then goes berserk. (According to news footage an apartment building in LA has also been placed in "Quarantine" which is a nod to the first film.) The situation gets worse when the plane is sent to an abandoned terminal and then quarantined by the CDC.As the "rage virus" lets loose the passengers are getting infected one by one (always fun) and fighting to survive. Most of the movie takes place in the baggage sorting section off the runway, the part of the airport we never see and for the most part follows Jenny, the stewardess and George a young boy travelling without his parents.I loved the set up here with all the assorted passengers; man with ALS in wheelchair, army medic, teacher, young couple, pregnant woman, fat guy, business guy. Its always fun guessing who will live and die. Some decent zombie gore, mostly on the gross out end of the spectrum, snot and drool etc including a severe scene with a needle to the eye. A decent inception story as long as you disregard the fact that assorted animals were allowed to ride in the cabin?? And a clever ending too. 4/12/16

The apartment building in Los Angeles is being quarantined. Flight attendants Jenny and Paula arrive at LAX for their next flight. Henry brings an animal carrier onto the plane. The animal inside bites fat passenger Ralph and later he gets sick. He turns violent and they restraint him. As they land, Ralph gets loose and bites Paula. The pilots find airport worker Ed Ramirez but the place seems to be locked down.The first act is terrific. I love the claustrophobia of an airplane combined with the violence of the infected. I love all the false leads to the infection. It's a great start and a hopeful sign for the movie. Then they get out of the plane and part of the effectiveness is gone. It becomes more or less a B-movie horror. I wish they kept it as a virus on a plane. The baggage handling part of the airport allows for a labyrinthine chase although it's meaningless maze.

A red-eye flight from Los Angeles is instructed to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport after a sudden outbreak of a deadly rabies-like virus that causes uncontrollable rage and violence. On finding the door to the terminal locked, the crew and passengers make their way to the baggage area, where they discover that all exits have been barred: the airport is under quarantine. Now they must fight for survival as the infected hunt them down and the authorities try to contain the virus using any measures necessary.The bad news is that Quarantine 2 does absolutely nothing new within the infected/zombie genre: the plot is unexceptional, as are the majority of the scares, most of which rely on loud noises to achieve their desired effect (rather predictably, the infected shriek like banshees when they attack!).The good news is that, although you won't be hard-pressed to guess how things will play out, there is still quite a lot of fun to be had with this by-the-numbers sequel, which delivers at least one genuinely effective 'crap your pants' moment, a few solid performances, and a modicum of gore (although the most squeamish scene involves someone injecting themselves in the eye).The REALLY good news is that, for the most part, Q2 does away with the tired found-footage/hand-held video style of the first film, meaning that you can enjoy this film without the annoyance of too much wobbly-cam.

Although the original film was a direct reproduction of the Spanish movie "Rec" this picture is not a clone of its sequel "Rec2". This film essentially starts on the same night the building is being quarantined in Los Angeles to a flight that is outbound from there to Kansas City. At first, other than a few people with symptoms of a cold or the flu nothing is out of the ordinary. However, "Co-Pilot Willsey" (Andrew Benator) does mention to two of the stewardesses, "Paula" (Bre Blair) and "Jenny" (Mercedes Masohn) that animals in his neighborhood have been acting rather strange lately. Then one of the passengers is bitten by a hamster. Not long afterward things begin to happen very dramatically. That same passenger gets violently ill, goes berserk and tries to force his way into the cockpit before being subdued. This causes the pilot, "Captain Forrest" (John Curran) to make an emergency landing at another airport. Once there the passengers and crew find themselves locked inside the baggage loading section underneath the terminal with no way out and a virus which is turning the passengers into raging maniacs. At any rate, rather than summarize the entire movie I will just say that this film was almost as good as the original. It has plenty of action and gore which should satisfy viewers looking for those kind of things. The acting is straight-forward and the story moves along rather well. And even though some people may argue over the technicalities of whether this is a zombie movie or not, it's still worth a view for those who enjoy that specific genre.
