Susan is an expert in epidemics, she sees a patient who has lost the ability to
smell anything after he had an unexpected crying jag. The man is in isolation
and he has gotten over the crying jag but still cannot smell, plus he's not
very happy after being held for about 11 hours. Susan and her colleagues
begin to research this condition and they discover that other people across the
world are having are having the same symptoms. Smell is just the
beginning of whatever is affecting the people, next comes taste.
Something must be done to stop this before more senses are lost but there
aren't any clues?
There is more missing from this movie than senses, it just
does not draw you in to the problem, I don't know if it's the plot or the
characters. Everything seems superficial like it's covered in plastic
wrap to keep it fresh but it also keeps out the audience too. 3* (This
movie is OK)
