PATREON MOVIE REVIEW:

This movie was selected by my patron supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!

During the early 2010s like most other teenagers, I had a fascination with zombies and the zombie sub-culture. If I wasn\\u2019t watching The Walking Dead, I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 nonstop with my friends on Xbox 360. I would watch zombie short films on YouTube and play tons of flash games on Kongregate.com in the zombie sub-category.

All of this to say, when I went to see Contagion in theaters, I didn\\u2019t get it. I mean, I got it, it was a plague movie, but I didn\\u2019t get it. I thought it was slow. I thought it had too much talking. I thought there wasn\\u2019t enough action. And I also thought to myself, \\u201cWhy bother making a plague movie without zombies?\\u201d

And I know I\\u2019m far removed from who I was nearly 10 years ago, but my goodness was I off my rocker. I need to personally thank you, my patron supporters, for getting me to rewatch this movie because my goodness was I an idiot! There's so much we can talk about here, and I can't wait to get this review started!
