I like the idea, but why is every suggestion about something to consume? I find that being at home is worse when all you do is mind numbing media consumption.. it would be awesome to include activities that can be done with common house hold items or your phone (photo challenge etc) to spark some creativity.

I searched "criticism movie outbreak' but found nothing. Would you feel like sharing more about why you dislike it? assuming you have some key/potent and useful examples from scenes.
I watched contagion with a couple of friends right before shelter in place went into effect last month. We were all blown away by how accurate it was. One last person came over late that said maybe try outbreak. We turned it off 15 minutes in to watch contagion again.
As you mention, Contagion is REALLY well done. Google a bit, and you'll find the people behind that. There's a reason it rings true with current events.
Not quite, to type the first cap you will need right shift :)

Are you really suggesting there's no criticism of the film on the internet? The film has a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes with plenty of criticism available there. Personally, I watched it for the first time about a week ago, and was hoping for a movie that was primarily about a virus outbreak. Which it was, for the first hour or so. After that it became a generic (and comically over-dramatic) 90s action movie about the mili…
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

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'?

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.
