CDC were not the bad guys. Being an expert and all on the pharmaceutical industry your opinion, if you actually saw the movie, would be interesting.

For myself, considering it was a big hollywood production, I thought it was a fairly intelligent portrayal of how a worldwide deadly contagion could be spread and the issues involved in identifying and vaccinating against the virus. Wasn't Gone With the Wind or even The Good The Bad and the Ugly, but it was interesting and wrth the $5 matinee price. Light years better than the quip laden Outbreak.

the thermobaric bomb scene in the opening is worth the price of admission (more) - petew 13:36:13 10/04/11 (0)
Outbreak started off with so much promise.
If I were the director I'd end the film after the thermobaric bomb scene.
Better to have a 3 minute great film than a 90 minute predictable bore.
While we're on the subject of Big Bangs -- get a load of why "Amerika is great:
largest bang the world has ever known: (yes, it's Amerikan!)
