Outbreak Ratings & Reviews

ርልዪረSeptember 27, 2025
Huge star cast for this movie is a big plus. This movie is loaded with suspense, thrill, wow-factor and over silly situations or over dramatic ones. The movie which stars as a virus that cannot be contained leads to a full fledged solid American army saves the day with top class arial combat sequences with good action. There are a few scenes where it felt it was rushed and didnt take any time as human trials of an antidote to work takes some time, but here it just happens within minutes. Somewhere down the line u feel that the General's decision to take out the entire town is somewhat true and needed to be done. But Hollywood being Hollywood saves the day very simply. After going through COVID-19 pandemic this movie feels very much similar to those same situations, very relatable and very enjoyable movie. You wont be bored from this one. Finally all the actors my god it has a stellar cast you just keep getting star after star in every scene and feels very fresh and organic.
