This was a massive disappointment to me. Much of the cast was very miscast and were just not believable in their roles. Effects were meh although you could see they dropped some cash on them. Big fan of the original novel and the original miniseries but this one fell flat to me. That's hard to do with as big of an epic novel as The Stand is. I would pass on this and watch the original miniseries from the 80s. You'll be much happier in the end.
