Contagion is a very good movie because of the way it sidesteps conventional drama. It's not bad science like 'The Day After Tomorrow', nor is it apocalyptic. It focuses in on one family tragedy without becoming overly sentimental or requiring extraordinary heroism. It shows a society coming apart in an almost offhanded way. It doesn't hurt to watch. Good flick.
