5 out of 5 stars A Little Known Disaster Classic   May 12, 2006
William Shatner (Hollywood, CA USA)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

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.


5 out of 5 stars Never Tire Of Seeing This Movie!!!   May 27, 2009
Harry (Right Here, USA)
The first time I saw this film I was really amazed! I love this film and never tire of watching it. A bit hammy at times but the overall message shines through! Don't mess with nature!!

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!


4 out of 5 stars Beware -- This is NOT the 155 minute version!   December 9, 2002
Alan Hummel (The Seven Seas of Rhye)
24 out of 25 found this review helpful

I was thrilled to not only find this DVD listed here, but to find the uncut, 155 minute version. But unfortunately, even though it is listed on the package, and on this site, as 155 minutes, it isn't -- this is the 103 minute international cut of the film. Still, this is a great film, and includes the dialog with the corpses in the church that was cut from the television version. I just wish someone would release the Japanese cut on DVD in the U.S.

The quality of this DVD isn't so great. The picture is grainy and the sound isn't very good. But it's not terrible, and again, I was happy just to get this film on DVD.

If anyone knows where I can get the 155 minute version on Region 1 DVD, please let me know!
