When I watched this in 2011, I thought Soderbergh was out of his depth and had taken too many creative liberties because in no way would developed countries in the 21st century, with the kind of modern and scientifically advanced infrastructure that we have, crumble because of a fucking virus.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Went into this without reading any spoilers, didn't even watch the trailers so I had no idea what to expect, other than the fact that it was getting rave reviews everywhere. I'm happy to confirm that I'm completely blown away by how good this movie this. Deakins has outdone himself once again. This is easily one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.

It's Daniel Day-Lewis. Do I even need to say anything else?
This is a beautiful, beautiful movie. The casting is perfect. Everyone does a damn good job. Shannon is amazing as Curtis and some of his dreams actually gave me the creeps. Chastain gives a very poised performance as the sane half of the family. The ending is confusing to say the least. Curtis has a foreboding sense of the impending doom throughout the movie which can be ticked off as being part of his paranoia but, is the last scene just another delirium or a real manifestation of his dreams?
