This ripped-from-tomorrow's-headlines, made-for-sweeps disaster movie posits a scenario where avian flu not only spreads to humans, but becomes epidemic in the United States. If the Kleenex people aren't sponsoring this, they're crazy.

From a medical perspective this movie is quite accurate with a minimal of science fiction involved. Sober presentation with little flourish. The standard inept media folks or viewers will not appreciate its factual approach and the message of tragedy it imparts. You are looking at the future folks not at your usual moronic action movie.

This movie isn't trying to entertain you, it's trying to scare the living shit out of you with the bird flu and "when" it will become an epidemic. Jesus Christ, please help us if this is called entertainment.

Not gonna happen should get HIS facts straight! 1) There is, right now, a 50% mortality rate with the bird-to-human strain. 2) There are virii that kill 100% of their hosts; they just die out with their hosts tho. 3) This movie couldn't instill fear in a six-year-old, so poorly produced was it. What a mess!

Hilariously Bad!

I give this a "1" because the birds were cute. Otherwise boring and a waste of time.

Some of this movie is not even close to being true. There's no such thing as a strain of a virus that can kill 100% of the population it infects. There's a 5% mortality rate, not 50%. This movie should have had its facts straight before it started producing. And another thing... all this movie really managed to achieve was instill more fear and paranoia in people that were already fearful and paranoid of the bird flu. Let's get real here, its not gonna end the human race like this movie states. It was awfully gruesome as well.
