Virus – Schiff ohne Wiederkehr: Directed by John Bruno. With Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, Donald Sutherland, Joanna Pacula. After outrunning a typhoon at sea, a strong-willed tugboat navigator and her crew discover a high-tech alien life form that’s taken control of a Russian research vessel and aims to destroy on a massive scale.

“A mediocre storyline (i.e. Titanic) can become a world class film with character development, believable dialogue, and, for lack of a better word, some Hollywood magic. This film could have been a blockbuster with less action, less noise, less effects and more humans being human. Look at 2001 A Space Odyssey, Jaws, Titanic and countless other films, and youu0026#39;ll see that the story was about as interesting as Virus, and the actors, equally talented. Virus failed to deliver characters that we could believe and identify with.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI still recommend this film highly, as its interesting, it contains Jamie Lee Curtis (a hottie) and Donald Sutherland (a 20th century legend), lots of effects and action. In a way its sort of fun to watch quality actors attempt to make the best of horrible dialogue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA 7 out of 10 for storyline and casting”
