Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Shortened version feels shortened, but it's still good
My only complaint about 'Virus' is that I got a copy that was shortened by a good 40-plus minutes and is not in widescreen ... and so at times it felt like I was watching a pan and scan movie that had been liberally edited. However, the good news is that 'Virus', even suffering from these handicaps, is still good. The movie (made in the great decade of movies like this -- the 80s) involves the theft and eventual accidental release of a virus so lethal, it wipes out everyone in the world ... except ...

Rating: - Great movie. Deserves a better DVD
I didn't know what to expect from "Virus". I was very pleasantly surprised. It grabbed hold of my interest from the start and never let go. The cast is great, with Glenn Ford as the US president, Henry Silva as a general and George Kennedy as the leader of the survivors in Antarctica.
A strong four star rating for the movie. My DVD was not good at all, pan-and-scanned and with pretty bad picture quality. So I hope someone will give this movie a decent DVD release. But until then, try to ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent and Could really happen!!
I had seen this movie on a VHS tape and I really enjoyed it! I was finally able to get on DVD:VIRUS. This movie put a lot of fear in me because it could REALLY HAPPEN!! Get this movie and enjoy!
Rating: - Life IS wonderful - finally!
Just to be clear, those 4 stars are for the FILM - not for this disc!
Directed in 1980 by the late Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royale) this apocalyptic film basically exists in two versions: the 'international' version (108 mins) and the full-length Japanese version (155 mins).
I discovered this film languishing on one of those 50-film DVD compilations and found it to be a real diamond in the rough. Despite the appalling quality of the pan & scan print, the film shone.

Rating: - A Little Known Disaster Classic
This little known classic was the most expensive Japanese film production of the early `80s, and one of the finest disaster movies ever made. Virus is massive in scale, with an epic, end-of-the-world plot that marries the best aspects of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain with the desperate post-apocalyptic action of The Day After Tomorrow.
