Talk:Virus (1999 film)

Untitled
The program considers humanity a virus and attempts to destroy it because in its mind, virus = bad, but it doesn't realize that itself is a virus.
 * Not exactly, in the film there is scene where the energy creature (not program) declares all humans to be virus. Nothing more or less. 89.1.174.66 (talk) 02:23, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Plot Description errors
"The lifeform invades Mir (the Russian space station) and is transmitted to a Russian research ship, and sets out to exterminate the crew of a tugboat who find the derelict ship." - I'm not sure but I don't think that exterminating the crew of the tugboat was it's ONLY goal. I think the virus wanted to kill/assimilate every living thing possible.

"To do this, the alien creates cyborgs by fusing the corpses of its victims with various electronic parts. These creations are manufactured in a mini-factory it built in the ship."

- It didn't make the cyborgs JUST to kill the crew of the tugboat, as I said above. Also, the factory was already part of the ship when it took it over, not something it built inside the ship.

"The two escape on a rocket sled construct Mason was working on while he, fatally wounded, stays behind and makes sure a huge bomb explodes, destroying the entire ship. Foster and Baker escape the explosion, the sled parachuting them into the water." - This is innaccurate... Mason was fatally wounded in another part of the ship (chest wound). Mason told Baker that he could escape in the missile room, and that he would understand when he got there. Mason didn't stay behind to make sure the bomb exploded -- he already constructed the bomb before returning to fight the alian. 199.111.176.245 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:55, 12 December 2008 (UTC).

Trivia
Deleting some of the trivia as it is opinion and original research, others should get sources or they too will be deleted. First, theres no proof that its Canadian, its just your opinion because you see a Red Jack and no Brit accents, thats not enough for wiki, and that really only suggests that the Captain is (that and the Webley Revolver), at least one was Mexican, that suggests a multicultural North American crew, not Canadian. Second similarities between cyborgs in this and other fiction works is insignificant and not noteworthy, unless PERHAPs they are called the Borg and maybe the same special effects or costume guy worked on them both. Even borg isn't that relevant, hardly an original name, its just shorter for cyborg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 07:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Edits
Sorry about the large number of edits to this page. I was watching this and just thought I'd clean up the article along the way =). Kata Alreshim (talk) 06:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I too cleaned this up a bit! I just finished watching the movie on TV (only because it was supposed to be the Robin Cook "Virus" movie and since nothing better was on, I kept watching!) and when I read the description here I was bummed to see how inaccurate it was. Hopefully more of us can fix the problems with this info! Thanks for the opportunity to put in my two cents! 75.172.86.75 (talk) 09:43, 10 October 2009 (UTC)Beth
