This movie began on a promising note: a global bacterial plague with no cure is taking down country after country, and a few nervous soldiers are shooting anyone who even looks a bit peaky.
A woman and child are driving to an airport, as one of the last flights out of the UK is waiting for them...but they miss it. An adorable little boy is left staring up at the airplane as it flies overhead.
Cut to The Carrier, a dilapidated 747 which is having its own problems. A few of the escaping passengers on the plane are getting all puffy-faced, which means they're infected. One tall guy is the boss of the cabin and passengers (we don't know how he got the job) while the pilot tries to get them to a plague-free country.
Here's where the storyline goes off the tracks. If this plague is so infectious, how come the non-infected on the plane aren't infected by the sick ones? And how does one man survive by chopping off his infected arm?
The unexplained immunity enjoyed by the main characters keeps on working while they wander around a deserted airport, taking keys from infected bodies and walking through makeshift morgues.
I won't give away the rest of the film...well, not much. Some pissed-off, infected males show up. Bad guys are dispatched, but good guys finish last. And the final insult is that we don't know who survives, who doesn't, what happened to the co-pilot's kid, and where that darn plane is headed.
