A Movie Quest: #1 Contagion
January 6th 2012 15:21
As we start 2012 I decided to challenge myself and see how many new release movies on dvd I could watch in one year. The first movie is Contagion. The movie was released on DVD on January 3rd 2012.
The plot for the movie: The film follows several interacting plotlines, with no single protagonist, over the course of several weeks from the initial outbreak and attempts to contain it, to panic and decay of social order, and, finally, to the introduction of a vaccine.

Marion Cotillard as Dr. Leonora Orantes
Matt Damon as Mitch Emhoff

I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. With a cast like this you get swept into the story and next thing you know the movie is over. Great job by all actors and staff. I would defiantly watch this movie again.
Rating: 7.5 stars out of 10
