This is "Popular on Netflix" right now, which is... fascinating. A movie about a potential viral epidemic born from an animal and facilitated by the intentional machinations of the U.S. military rising to the top of the queue at this time of justified outrage and rising panic over a growing viral epidemic exacerbated by U.S. imperialism (see the sanctions on Iran leaving the people without necessary medicines there), racism (see the waves of misinformation blaming and distorting the response in China), and intentional capitalist neglect (lack of sick leave, healthcare, and a planned economy making it impossible to stop the spread of the virus here) is suspiciously popular right now.
Most likely, it is a combination of the very human…

Chief of Staff: "Those are the citizens of Cedar Creek. Go on, look at them. These are not statistics, ladies and gentlemen. They're flesh and blood! And I want you to burn those into your memories. Because those images should haunt us until the day we die."
SYNOPSIS: Army doctors struggle to find a cure for a deadly virus spreading throughout a California town that was brought to America by an African monkey.
This film seems quite appropriate considering the circumstances that are seemingly affecting everyone worldwide.

me: can we watch a film that will make me forget about what’s going on
my dad: no
monkey goes on a quest to destroy the entire human race after being mildly inconvenienced one day
This could've been how we handled covid if only our cowardly scientists had had the courage to get divorced.
Hach!
Einer der ersten Filme, die den Zuschauer mit einem unglaublichen Tempo durch die Geschichte peitschten, dass es eine helle Freude ist. Muss man auch können, schaut nur auf Rise/Skywalker als negatives Beispiel. Jede Szene ist kurz, pointiert und toll gespielt - kein Wunder, bei dem Cast. Allein Dustin Hoffman und die Hunde!
Habe manchmal das Gefühl, dass sogar improvisiert wurde, gerade bei Hoffman. Hätte ich bei Wolfgang Petersen nicht mit gerechnet, der sich wiederum mit Ballhause ordentlich austobt: Das Ergebnis sind wunderschöne Kamerafahrten bis zum Abwinken, aber was hat man denn auch anderes erwartet beim Michel.
Die aufwendige Ausstattung überzeugt, Howard-Musik passt wunderbar. Ein paar klassische 90er-Macken finden sich natürlich auch, stören aber seltsamerweise überhaupt nicht. Dafür sind die…

Gute 60-70 Minuten jagte Wolfgang Petersens Truppe rund um die Schwergewichte Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman und Kevin Spacey einem Bazillus verengter Wahrnehmung des gedrehten Reglers des Mikroskops ausblendenden Radius zum erweiterten und sich öffnenden Tunnelblickes durch das Okular.

It was 1995 when Hollywood went big budget on a veritable virus killer, a widespread panic thriller that gets wind on an uncontainable pandemic disease – the infection enters peoples’ bloodstream and quickly puts them into cardiac arrest. Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman and Donald Sutherland are a pedigree cast but the result belongs near the bottom for this genre, buffed up by mild yuks amusement only. It starts well, with my least favorite actor Patrick Dempsey — in a harrowing scene — erupting in a breakdown of his central nervous system at a heavy traffic airport. An hour or so later, it gets into a laughably unconvincing helicopter chase where Army General Sutherland has…
100-word review: When you want an intricate, frighteningly realistic pandemic movie, you watch Contagion; when you had a long day, and just wanna watch pandemic-related pulp, Outbreak is what you're looking for. Swapping realism for sensation, Outbreak features a frantic and yelling Hoffman, a deadlier-than-Ebola virus that spreads like the flu, and bombs (Contagion certainly lacks bombs). It's not even truly a pandemic movie, because (spoilers) the disease never spreads beyond a few outbreak (hence the title) locations. It criticises the army's ruthlessness when it comes to the weaponisation of anything that's good at killing people, which is nice.

Such is the world where you can find yourself delving ever deeper into the subclass genre of ‘pandemic’ themed films. Rightly or wrongly, but understandably, these are all receiving their second wind as the world continues to grapple with the ongoing effects of Covid-19.
‘Outbreak’ is a bit of a fall considering Wolfgang Peterson’s might of the 80’s (‘Das Boot’ and ‘The Neverending Story’), but as far as worldwide disasters go, this piece certainly earns its place amongst the other top contenders. Though the dialogue and character-drive is all over the place, the plot holds up due to how neatly it moves together by the conclusion. Now, I said neatly, not…
