Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Carlos Idelone This movie is actually, like a classic Greek tragedy. People are put into impossible situations, where whatever choices they make, are going to lead to crushing sorrow. I am surprised, that many commentors , don't seem to be emotionally affected by this film. That to me is very sad and chilling. Have the plethora of disaster films in recent years, inured us to the pain of our fellow humans; the irresponsible violence, which permeates both our imaginary world and our reality ? This movie was basically about the relationship between life (survival) and the quality of life (love and brotherhood). I thought it was very well done, emotionally powerful. Thank you to all involved.

Jackson Booth-Millard I knew this was some kind scary movie, and I may have seen the poster once before, from the title I had my guesses what the concept would involve, as for what I would make of it, I had my expectations, but I did watch it. Basically the world has been devastated by an infectious virus outbreak that has spread across the world, killing almost the entire population, the virus is spread by breath, anyone carrying the disease is virtually doomed. Brian Green (Star Trek's Chris Pine), his girlfriend Bobby (Coyote Ugly's Piper Perabo), his brother Daniel "Danny" (Evil Dead's Lou Taylor Pucci) and their friend Kate (Emily VanCamp) are heading to Turtle Beach in the Southwestern United States, in the hope of finding somewhere to settle until the virus dies out. They follow a strict set of rules they believe will keep them alive and stop them becoming infected, but when their car breaks down on the road they are forced to go against these somewhat, they negotiate with a man called Frank (Bound's Christopher Meloni). He is also stranded without gas and trying to get his daughter Jodie (Kiernan Shipka) to the hospital, she is infected with a disease of some kind, it is unclear if it is the same virus they are trying to avoid, they travel together, with the back area of the car sealed by a plastic cover to stop potential infection. During the journey the group are given many moral dilemmas to contend with, including Bobby accidentally infected trying to help Jodie, and in kissing Brian passing infection onto him, and in the end events take a downward spiral until only Danny and Kate are left, they reach Turtle Beach, it is unclear whether they find salvation. Also starring Ron McClary as Preacher, Dylan Kenin as Tom, LeAnne Lynch as Rose, Mary Peterson as Laura Merkin and Mark Moses as Doctor. The cast all do their parts fine, the story is nothing new, a deadly pandemic wiping out most of humanity and a band of survivors travelling and fighting to survive, this does not spend a lot of time with gruesome bloody sequences, it is more about the paranoia, so it does have a bleak atmosphere, I will admit I did not concentrate fully, as it was predictable, but I can see it as a reasonable post-apocalyptic horror. Worth watching!

David Arnold If you enjoy post-apocalyptic movies like 28 Days/Weeks Later then you may like Carriers, but be warned...Carriers isn't a patch on those two films. For one thing, Carriers is a much slower film than the 28 Days/Weeks Later films, which is one of the ingredients to it's downfall. Also, there isn't much action or real suspense either which is a pity because if it had these then it may well have been a much better film.Carriers just moves at such a slow pace, and apart from the odd moment here and there, it's actually a bit of a snorefest. There isn't really any depth to the film either. We start off right in the middle of the "apocalypse", which generally wouldn't be that bad if the story developed better and there was more of a background, but there's no real explanation about anything. We don't know what the cause of it was, and we don't know how it all came about. The only thing we really get to know is why the four main characters are driving across country and that's it. There just isn't much story or character development.And speaking of characters...two of the main four characters of Brian, Bobby, Danny, and Kate are pretty unlikable, and those are Brian and Bobby. I actually felt more for Frank (played by Christopher Meloni) and his daughter, Jodie, than those two. Their actions and way of thinking throughout the movie just ends up making them less & less endearing as time goes on and you end up hoping karma is following close by. Danny & Kate were really the only characters I liked from the main four (although I must admit that Kate just felt like an add-on as there wasn't much to her at all).I know you don't watch a post-apocalyptic film to feel good, and people can look for hidden meanings in Carriers all they like, but there are absolutely no feel good moments anywhere (even at the end), so be prepared for a pretty depressing movie.Carriers is just a below average thriller, and you'd be better off giving it a miss in all honesty.

Paul M I enjoyed the movie which has a very simple underlying plot, was probably made on a fairly low budget but didn't suffer from that, and although some of the acting was merely average the story was carried along well. The story had the characters fulfil their roles well, without being particularly predictable or boring, and a fair number of times I would wonder whether they would act purely logically to reduce risks or give in to their emotions and take a risk.I found myself being very sympathetic with the characters, and wondered what I would do in such circumstances. Would I be strong and ruthless, a leader? Could I protect myself and my family/friends by watching out for us all, if we lived through such a disaster?So I scored it 7 because it was an enjoyable movie which made me think "what if" a fair number of times.
