This isn't a terrible movie. It is very dull. You're not going to be able to just sit down and watch it. It is viewable while you're on the elliptical or the bike, and in this day and age there is a place for such a movie. That is obviously what the director markets this movie for. It is hard to fathom what's going on, but the plot is (and this isn't a spoiler, because it becomes evident quite early) about an deadly organism (call it a disease) for which the antibodies must be derived from the one human who has the natural immunity. It's part "Blob", but mixed in with the writer's own additions. Now, every writer in science fiction is toying with an idea of how to do a movie in which one human has an immunity to a disease, and his or her blood must be used to battle it. That said, all the science fiction world expects a good story line to go with it. This isn't the worst. It isn't the best, either. The directing is very disjointed. It seems like an extra long movie. It plods along. Future editing can fix the disjointed part, perhaps, but not the dullness. It will appeal to American audiences, particularly women, since the female lead is one of those pale, plain Janes women can identify with. She's a bit dull and plain looking for men to enjoy, but women usually decide what movies to watch. Again, the director placates his audience, and used confessingly, a lot of acceptable clichés, such as the dark haired man-blonde woman, the monster that can't be killed, the authorities who won't listen to citizens (this one is usually true to life, however). Everything that makes it acdeptable to IMDb members and the American public. But such clichés are in most movies, and this movie doesn't cliché any more than most of them. As I said before, this is marketed to be something you watch while exercising or doing housework. Don't expect anything more.
