Tense and even somewhat educational- "r-nought" and facts about the 1918 flu epidemic, etc. And found its extrapolations about the societal effects of an epidemic to be plausible. By running through the whole course, it packs a great deal of stuff into a couple hours, and sometimes seems a bit schematic. Nonetheless, it is tense and never dull and it offers the opportunity to see Gwyneth Paltrow's scalp sawed off. The blogger is the villain and that rings true. Last of all, I liked the pulsating electronic music, which worked to maintain the mood. I thought it was a good way to spend a couple of hours.
