Perhaps my movie research skills are not too good. When looking for a movie I happily take on or look past the content built to appeal to a wide audience and enjoy the parts of it I find enjoyable. This is my explanation for thinking Outbreak is a great move, and perhaps a little fun and silly. Even ridiculous. But 'bad'?
Are we saying 'want to watch a movie about a virus outbreak'means needing near documentary accuracy with some components? I look at film as a total free for all artistic/author's thing. Cristicising with that in mind seems a bit.. I'm not even sure what to say. I would say yes lazy writing where gaping hard to follow plots or oddball scenes can be difficult but even those are sort of fun if you like experimenting with alternate mindsets. 'The Room' comes to mind. Not 'Room'.
To be clear I don't know anything about how to watch movies properly... so maybe I'm messing up.
Cheers
- machello13 6y agoNo one is saying you don't know how to watch movies! I could totally see how it would be possible to enjoy Outbreak as a fun action movie. Certainly there are plenty of movies I enjoy where the critical consensus is "meh". I was just relaying my own personal experience with the film — it wasn't really what I expected, and as much as I love the silliness of 90s movies, it just fell a bit flat for me.
