Contagion - 3 stars out of 5 stars

OK for realism of what might happen if you have a outbreak of some unknown contagion,but,no real plot or adventure.See its almost like a documentary of life during the outbreak to the cure for the survivors.Not really entertainment but more informational about what systems we have in place and their shortcomings.So thats why I took 2 stars off.Oh for all you Gwyneth Paltrow haters,she dies early and painfully.No actors really stand out but maybe Jude Law  as a blogger.Still a good interesting cast and for a 2011 film release running 106 minutes its ok for kids but you'll have to do some explaining during and after.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary,such as can be,is below.

Soon after her return from a business trip to Hong Kong, Beth Emhoff dies from what is a flu or some other type of infection. Her young son dies later the same day. Her husband Mitch however seems immune. Thus begins the spread of a deadly infection. For doctors and administrators at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, several days pass before anyone realizes the extent or gravity of this new infection. They must first identify the type of virus in question and then find a means of combating it, a process that will likely take several months. As the contagion spreads to millions of people worldwide, societal order begins to break down as people panic. Written by garykmcd
