Virus (1996)

An Exercise In Nonsense

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I use Killer Klowns (from outer space) as my baseline for bad movies, but this make Killer Klowns look like an Oscar winner. I felt compelled to watch the entire movie in the hopes that there might be a small redeeming ray of light, but I was wrong. His had to be a "vanity" movie, where one pays to have it produced and distributed, because no legitimate studio would have spent a penny to make this film.The only thing I can think of is maybe it was a high school film project.The acting was beyond bad and the special effects were terrible. The plot line, there is not even a word to describe it because unbelievably stupid is too good.It is hard to believe that the producers thought was a "work of art"The only reason to watch this movie is to see how really bad a movie can be.

What to say about this movie? Well, it's unoriginal, predictable, boring and all that. It's badly directed and acting can't be even mentioned in a same sentence with this movie.So the great story of the movie goes somewhere along lines deadly virus stolen, me brave presidents bodyguard will save the day. Me kill the terrorists and so on.What comes to action, one scene has burned itself on my mind: a car driving off the cliff and exploding in midair without any reason at all. Blasted cars... they are sneaky that way.This movie is probably one of those, which are sold along those good movies every TV station wants to show, so it's quite possible to catch it from TV from once in a while, but don't go and buy it, because it really isn't that bad it would be funny. Spill is just that bad, that it's bad and the worst of it, it really is boring.

As others here have commented, this movie is horrible. I mean really really horrible.Story line is almost inexistant, Special effects are of lower quality than a high school theatre production, and I've seen better acting from the folks on "Americas funniest home videos".The only thing which somewhat redeems this flop is the fun you have spotting the inconsistencies and errors... from the folks bleeding right thru un-punctured hazmat "moon suits" in the lab (figure that one out!) to the amazing inconsistent plot jumps this is a real gem.My 2 cents worth... but I doubt your mileage will vary much :)Moo

...In my entire life so far, I never saw a movie that worst, NEVER. The story is so awful and illogical. ie: There is a biochemical agent developed by the government that has been spilled in a river but NO ONE has any suspicions. The hero(us president's ex-bodyguard who was a quarterback in the NFL) is immune to the weapon because he has the flu... RIDICULOUS!!! And there is the double car explosion thing: The car jumps over some rocks(don't ask me why but that make it explode), and after a couple of barrel roll... yes, it explodes again... no comments And did I talk about the music? ...Horrible, inhuman, childish, worst music I ever heard...Still, you must see this movie because after seeing it, you will enjoy every movie. Nothing can be worst than that...NOTHING!!!!
