Pandemic
After a virus of epic proportions overwhelms the planet—with more infected than uninfected—humanity is losing its grip on survival and its only hope is finding a cure and keeping the infected contained. Lauren, a doctor, arrives in Los Angeles with her crack team to lead the hunt for uncontaminated civilian survivors, but nothing can prepare them for the blood-soaked mayhem they witness as they head into the Californian streets where everything is considered a trap.

The Worst Film Ever
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
At least with a handheld cam the shaking can be slightly controlled, but this 'helmet cam' POV is the most horrifying thing about this terrible movie. It is SO shaky I can't tell where anybody is or what anybody is doing - are those infected people opening the back door of the bus from the outside to get it? Seems like it, but I can't really tell because the camera is shaking all over the place. Other than that, everything was horrible. Bad script, bad acting, bad plot. Unrealistic dialogue delivered with all the skill of poorly-programmed robots. 'Plot' that is more holes than plot. Easily one of the top ten worst movies I've ever seen.
I have seen The Chosen One starring Rob Schneider and I would say that this one is worse.I have seen Gummo and I would still say that this one is worse. Writing a Zombie movie is really not that difficult. In the amount of time that it is taking me to write this review I am certain that I can write a better movie than this abomination.This is the type of movie that will put you off watching movies for a while. If you were to watch this movie immediately followed by The Godfather & The Shawshank Redemption you will hate them both since you would have developed a hatred towards cinema by now. If I had a time machine I would go back in time and beat the living hell out of the directors career guidance counselor. I would go back and admonish his parents for allowing him to pursue a career in directing. A part of me died after watching this movie. I no longer have a will to go on. If the director & Justin Bieber were hanging off a cliff and I could save only one I would pull up Justin Bieber. After watching this brain numbing movie I want to become a Zombie really badly just so that I can eat the Directors brain and save the world from any future torment that this director might be inclined to make. When it comes to Zombie movies the choices for storyline are endless but for some reason this clown decided that he will make a movie shot entirely using helmet cams. It is distressing to the eyes and the brain to sit through this one. I hope the director gets eaten alive by Zombies.This is without a shadow of doubt the absolute worst movie that I have ever seen.
I'm not sure why everyone is acting like this film should be critiqued like an academy award contender. Anyone that know the genre knows it's clearly going to be a bit cheesy with not so stellar acting. Now with that being said, I loved it! I'm a bit of a zombie buff and this was pretty good to me. Much better than a lot of other movies out there. Thought it was decent and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a decent zombie movie that doesn't follow the traditional zombie cliché genre.
Let me start this review with two cautionary notes.1. Most importantly, I watched this on my computer monitor (thanks, Netflix) and it has a lot of hand held camera work. If I had seen this on a full size TV or, more especially, a theater screen, I might not have liked it as much.2. Always remember that the word processing software used to write screenplays for movies like this does not come bundled with optimism.That said, PANDEMIC was a very pleasant surprise thanks to a very strong script and some solid performances from a group of gifted actors. As is today's fashion it doesn't have opening titles, so I had no idea who the actors were. When I looked it up on IMDb I found that I have seen many of these performers on a regular basis for years.The story itself doesn't have many surprises. A global epidemic wipes out most of the population. Worse yet, the infected become monsters with a hunger for human flesh.What was a surprise was how involved I was with these characters. Lauren, the main character, is a CDC doctor working with a team looking for survivors and, ultimately, a cure for the plague. She has crossed the country to Los Angeles from New York to try to find her husband and daughter at their home in Sherman Oaks. She's a complex character with a dark secret, and Rachel Nichols's performance reminds me of Jodie Foster in films like FLIGHTPLAN and PANIC ROOM.I will admit that I fast forwarded in the early scenes, but once the characters arrive at a high school that turns out to be a deadly trap I didn't touch any buttons again.
