Leave your thoughts about Virus.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAn unpretentious, amusing thrill-a-minute sci-fi horror thriller / monster movie that plugs right into fears of a Y2K crisis. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe script, based on a Dark Horse comic-book series, is hugely predictable, but the robot effects by veteran Phil Tippett are nastily entertaining. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonCurtis and Pacula are thoroughly convincing in thinly written roles. |
| The New York TimesLawrence Van GelderAs long on adrenaline and special effects as it is short on genuine novelty and intellectual content. |
| Film ThreatTom MeekThe plot itself is a disappointingly gory concatenation of two recently forgettable sci-fi thrillers; "Hardware" and "Event Horizon." |
| L.A. WeeklyNicole CamposFX whiz John Bruno (Terminator 2, True Lies) makes a dubious directorial debut here, juggling monsters that are icky but not scary; an out-of-control Donald Sutherland as the tug’s Ahabesque captain. |
| USA TodayAndy Seiler"Deep Rising" was one of the worst movies of 1998. Virus is easily worse. |
| San Francisco ChronicleBob GrahamNo one is likely to claim it's a great, or even good, movie, but it does offer some guilty pleasures. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenFrankly, about 20 minutes into this dud, I was rooting for the alien beasties -- their diagnosis seemed dead-on. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonUntil the diverting special effects take center stage, this story, about an alien intelligence that builds an army out of flesh and metal, pathetically exploits genre conventions without generating self-reference, camp, or thrills. |
