SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Thy Davideth Virus is about a group of people who investagate a ship and find out that a techno-virus has infected $#!+ and starts building mechanical robots and cyborgs for some reason. It is solely the conception is the reason why I gave this movie a high score. I can not believe I missed this one because the scene with all the mechanics and flesh bonding is what I create in my art. So, ho ho, I loved this movie. But yes, if the concept was anything else, I would say "this is a typical survival horror that is uninspiring and unoriginal and, seriously, they need good writers like a mother******. But the pacing and bloody violence was happy fun." But this movie is cyber-punk gold so go plug a hairy butt.

adonis98-743-186503 When the crew of an American tugboat boards an abandoned Russian research vessel, the alien life form aboard regards them as a virus which must be destroyed. This movie tries way too hard to be Aliens meets Terminator especially since producer Gale Ann Hurd produced the first 3 Terminator Movies and Aliens but the film just fails and you know that your movie sucks when Donald Sutherland is bored as hell his performance was a let down although i will give them a credit the cgi was OK but the actual effects they created were pretty good and Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't that bad but with a story like this and a cast of this length you would except the movie would be awesome but nope not a chance. I give it a 5.5 out of 10 still pretty bad except some things in it.

dmdb I only write reviews of movies with low rating, which actually are not that bad. Give them a chance!I watched this film because I love movies about apocalypse. Some say that Virus is not for that group, but I disagree. If a virus kills humans for ''spare parts'' and wants to go to Lord Howe Island, so it could spread all over Earth - that could cause an apocalypse!Now when we got that cleared, I must admit that this movie deserves better rating then it has at this moment ( 4.8 ). It really is not that bad! Great story, great mechanical costumes, good set decoration. Acting is bad for some actors, especially Donald... I don't understand his acting in this movie, he is always great ( Land Of The Blind for example ), but here... Directing is also not at the top level, the ending is really bad and it looks like they could not wait to finish editing. But still, those two facts are not something that should give this movie such a low rating.You can enjoy this movie for sure, it is watchable and enjoyable.6/10

Scott LeBrun "Virus" is not as bad as its reputation would indicate, even if star Jamie Lee Curtis herself feels that this is the worst thing she ever did. It's certainly not without its drawbacks - dumb and clichéd characters (the coward, the one who gets victimized first, the psycho, the no-nonsense hero, etc.), silly dialogue and silly moments, a familiar feel to it - but, taken for what it is, it provides some adequate entertainment. It makes sense that its director is John Bruno, whose background is in special effects, as it's often a showcase for some interesting and decently executed effects, with such luminaries as Phil Tippett, Steve Johnson, and Eric Allard contributing their talents. The story has a tugboat taking refuge from a hurricane by resting in its eye, and coming across an abandoned Russian research vessel that we know has already been overwhelmed by some weird phenomenon. It turns out the culprit is some sort of living alien electricity that has infested the computer on the vessel and manipulated its robotics department to come up with some amusing if not terribly imaginative human-robot hybrids. The movie has the look of quality - it's photographed by David Eggby ("Mad Max", "Pitch Black"), who does a cameo as a captain, and designed by Mayling Cheng - and features a booming score by Joel McNeely. The actors really do their darnedest, no matter how badly written some of their roles might be. Jamie Lee is worth watching as always, William Baldwin is okay as the male lead, Donald Sutherland a total hoot as Jamie Lee's crazed and sleazy superior, and lovely Joanna Pacula is great as the traumatized survivor of the initial attack who tries to help the newcomers; also appearing are character players Marshall Bell, Sherman Augustus, Cliff Curtis, and Julio Oscar Mechoso. Provided one can turn off their brain and just laps up this kind of thing anyway, it is possible to be entertained by "Virus". As for Jamie Lee's own opinion on the matter, she certainly has done better films in the genre, but this isn't the total fiasco it's made out to be, either. Just go in with your expectations low. Five out of 10.
