Outbreak
In director Wolfgang Petersen's fast-paced, intelligently written thriller, Dustin Hoffman plays Col. Sam Daniels, an expert on infectious diseases who is called in to study the outbreak of a deadly illness in Zaire. He finds a virus that spreads so quickly it could wipe out an entire nation in just a few weeks, and he believes that it might have spread to the United States. With the help of his ex-wife (Rene Russo), who works at the Centers for Disease Control, Daniels tracks the virus to the quiet seaside town of Cedar Creek, California. His superiors' reticence to help begins to raise questions in Daniels's mind, and he must find a cure before a panicky U.S. army general decides to kill the town's populace in order to save the world.
The all-star cast includes Hoffman, Russo, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Morgan Freeman, and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

An increasingly risible thriller that begins well and then becomes a fevered exercise in sub-James Bond heroics, with a military villain straight out of a comic book.

Looks quite dated now...
... but the 'what if' elements and the human reaction is still valid. A bit overlong at 2hrs but I certainly enjoyed it.

Doomsday: Neil Marshall Interview
- 02 Sep 2008
We caught up with British cinemas very own Quentin Tarentino, Mr Neil Marshall, as he gave us the low-down on post-apocalyptic movie Doomsday. Neil explains how he came upon the idea for the film, his wariness of CGI and his love for Scotland… LOVEFiLM: Where did the idea for Doomsday come from? Neil Marshall: It was a combination of a couple of ideas; one was an image of a knight facing off against these futuristic soldiers in body armour. The other was growing up in Newcastle. Living...
