Virus: Day of Resurrection Ratings & Reviews

dughlasuFebruary 9, 2025
An all ensemble cast for this one. It's actually pretty good, The idea of such a virus has clearly been around for some time, this film is based on a Japanese novel. It's worth the watch, some pedigree actors in this film. It is a bit stuffy and cliched in some ways. The men are all very shirt and tie and suits. Bear in mind it was made in 1980 based on a novel written before then. The amount of national military uniforms clustered in one point in Antarctica is quite impressive as well as being highly unlikely. It would actually be a good film for a remake but it would be a shame if they screwed it up with casting bad actors. The ending is a bit cheesy as well as unlikely but overall the premise of the film isn't bad at all.
