Hi,
Monday was my last film and was the film Carriers, starring Chris Pine. This film has been held back to run on the hopeful success of Star Trek. Well not sure how much that paid off, but the film wasn't too bad. More a survival film than a zombie-esq film, the four characters hoping to get to a certain beach resort. Maybe in the hope to see the one place which had so many good memories before the disease finally took it's toil.
Really I quite liked the fact it did try another view point of a overly used plot, and in some parts it came across fine. Pine was ok, along with Piper Perabo (a better role than Beverley Hills Chihuahua) and Emily VanCamp were good. The script wasn't great, and not much tension through out, and it played out how you would expect.
Overall not bad, but not great (6/10)
I enjoyed cariers not what I expected at all (which is a good thing). It didn't take the same route as many other "virus" type films; if you caught it you had a rather a more sedate ending (unless your were shot of course). This was more a road movie that that happened to take place in the middle or a lethal pandemic. The script was ok as was the cast, they worked well with what they had. Overall 7/10.
