virus

[Owen Watkin]

virus(1999) Staring-Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin & Donald Sutherland


A ghostly ship looms silently ahead as the crippled, ocean-going, salvage tug Sea Star approaches. The Sea Star crew, their ship slowly sinking, has sought refuge in the eerie calm of the eye of a typhoon to make repairs and hopefully avert disaster. But something's terribly wrong. The ship, a Russian science vessel bristling with high-tech radar, electronics and other wonders, appears to be deserted. Unfortunately for the crew of the Sea Star, nothing could be further from the truth. Shelter from the storm turns into terror on board as they find themselves stalked by a mutating alien life form that has traveled across time and space, an energy force unlike any in the universe. It is powerful. Intelligent. And it has found the perfect planet to inhabit. Now, in order to survive, it must destroy the one threat to its existence: a virus called man.

Man is a bit of a virus at times. But I think an anti-virus could be created out of man. I have to see this film. I have a friend who would probably support the Alien. I could see how an Alien could see man as a threat...so I like it when the Aliens have motives, rather than just trying to destroy earth for fun or something...like in some older films!

Yeah its kinda different to other alien movies. The alien this time is an energy source. It can take over computers and use them to do its bidding.

The only problem is the name. People get messed up on what the films about.

Really? What do they think it is about?

I haven't seen this film as I say.
