Sript writers, producers not worth the money


That Thai ship was allowed to sail on to its destination with the virus. Also, would not the other crew and passengers got infected and died, at least those had ingested the virus? Though the original virus was not airborne, they would have ingested via shared eating utensils.

With the bombing plane approaching, one would have thought the 'heroes' first priority was to save the host monkey with the anti-bodies rather than take off to try to stop the attacking plane in their little helicopter. What if the pilots had stayed on course?

A decision maker would have to be smart enough to make the choices with the most favourable outcome, in this case save the monkey which is within his control rather than face the pilots which had a less certain outcome. Thus a rationale decision would have been to save the host monkey.

These script writers and producers were paid a lot of money. They should have paid attention to details. They do not deserve the nomination for the Best Science Fiction Film.

According to Tales From Development Hell.. OUTBREAK was pretty much stolen from a the original writers/producers from a film project called THE HOT ZONE based on a true story.. Hot Zone was faced with soo many problems in preproduction that it wasnt made and Outbreak took off..
