UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

merceplucas Carriers is no boundary-pusher. It's not the most unique concept, its writing isn't stellar, its young adult actors aren't prodigies, its soundtrack won't move you, and the cinematography isn't outrageous. It's simply decent. After watching it my main thought was "at least it wasn't another zombie movie." If you're tired of summer blockbusters (and I mean, who wouldn't be?) throw this on to kill an hour or two.

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!

SnoopyStyle Brothers Danny (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Brian (Chris Pine) are traveling in a viral apocalyptic world with Bobby (Piper Perabo) and Kate (Emily VanCamp). They have rules. Avoid the infected. Disinfect anything they touched in the last 24 hours. The sick are already dead. They run into Frank (Christopher Meloni) who is out of gas, but his daughter Jodie (Kiernan Shipka) is infected. When their car is damaged beyond repair, they join up with Frank and his daughter to find a rumored cure. Things don't turn out and the quartet moves on to encounter others.This movie drops the audience into a world after everything has already gone to hell. The start is too pedestrian. I get the idea is to make a low budget indie. However the movie needs to start with action. It needs to give a good reason why the quartet is on the trip in the first place. Danny's explanation seems so childish. Traveling would logically seem to be a dangerous thing to do. There are just a lot of questionable things that the people keep doing. These idiots are just not likable. They keep doing stupid things. Brian almost crash two cars on the open road because he's an idiot. Brian is a domineering angry Ahole and it drives me crazy. Why is he poking around in the pool? Then just for more idiocy, he drives a golf cart just as bad. They lay out rules and yet they are all ignored. These people should have seen it all and yet they are wildly emotional about everything. These people suffer from self-inflicted wounds and it makes it difficult to root for them.

Spikeopath To all intents and purposes, Carriers really isn't that much of a horror film, it's more a survivalist, character based, road movie. After an infectious virus has decimated the Earth, two brothers (Chris Pine/Lou Taylor Pucci) and their two lady companions (Piper Perabo/Emily VanCamp) are heading to Turtle Beach in the hope that in isolation there they can ride out the epidemic and start afresh.What follows is that they encounter a man on the road with his sick daughter, and their plans then go astray. The moral dilemmas build up, the character dynamics unfurling in a whirl of human emotions, disappointments and heart aching decisions are evident as the search for sanity and gasoline goes on. Naturally the virus isn't the only thing to be fearful of, there's the other virus, that of the human condition in survival situations...Having sat on the shelf for three years, Carriers came a bit late in the day to make a telling mark in a sub-genre of horror that has tapped into our new age fear of the virus. In a way that is a shame, because David and Alex Pastor's (writers/directors) film is very well made. With good performances, astute photography and a humanistic narrative that is not without merit. Yet even for 2009 it feels old hat, like a lukewarm sci-fi schlocker without the monsters or apocalyptic peril.It's well worth a watch because there is nothing irritating here, but anyone expecting some infected/zombie infused apocalypto will be very disappointed. 6/10
