We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
The problem is the fear of a controlling government doing this is the reason we have anti-maskers and people refusing to follow the lockdown rules. This movie isn't helping one bit.
So in this film, the virus is even deadlier than in real life but the focus is on how bad quarantine is?
I'm good on anything COVID related in media. I'm good, don't need to do it. It's like when just a handful of years later there were a bunch of realistic 9/11 movies. Don't need to watch that, lived it... I'm good.
And ironically, such a quarantine would have the virus licked in 2 weeks. How's it spreading?
DING DING DING
Bay knows exactly what the fuck he is doing. Trash.
Expect most of the stuff about the virus being bad to end up being fake in this movie.
Getting some 'immediate post-9/11 media' vibes, expect we're still in the middle of the pandemic.
I would watch this dumpster fire just because it sounds so damn ridiculous and I do miss watching movies at the theater.
You see we learn from an ex government scientist that conveniently crosses paths with our hero that the virus was actually created by the government as a bio weapon that got out of control, so in order to save themselves from having it discovered that the virus was engineered they needed to lock down and sterilize all traces of the virus. But our hero is IMMUNE, the use of his blood can create a cure, but he's thwarted by government agents that dont want the truth or the cure getting out!
For those questioning the '23', it probably takes place in 2023. The 19 in COVID-19 is because it started in 2019.
In it for Daddario honestly
Yes but the movie is the same virus, except mutated. Does each mutation refresh the number?
This is fucking disgusting. We aren't even close to be done with the current pandemic, we have so many people dying every day. And here we have a movie pushing "covid-23".
Maybe if it's different enough and causes a different type of disease?
To be fair Daddario was in San Andreas so...
this one looks decent to me. It's just the timing that makes it extra trashy
Way too soon and I actually don't think this is responsible to release right now. Like many have said, it's redmeat for the "I want a haircut!" and anti-mask types.
Also: lol @ the character not using their chain lock on the door while people are trying to knock it down.

I want to watch a movie about Covid about as much as I want to watch one about Trump. Not at all.
Sure sounds like a shitty Michael Bay movie.
God knows why people keep throwing money at this guy.
At this point I'm pretty sure Michael Bay has a deal with some arm of the government to popularize the most toxic right-wing tendencies of the American poor and undereducated. Every film he makes has a variant on:
"Poor people are losers."
"Rich people are cool as fuck."
"This is what a woman looks like."
"Speak English, foreigner."
"It's awesome to own lots of cool stuff."
"Ugly people make stupid choices."
"Tormenting someone vulnerable is fucking hilarious because power is rad."
"I volunteer for this government suicide mission out of nowhere."
I swear his playbook could have come from Newt Gingrich.

I would suggest that if anyone is interested in a film on the topic to watch Contagion (2011) instead. It was eerily accurate in its predictions with what looks to be far less sensationalism than this.
