It makes its heavy-handed point at the start and throughout, but its characters and plot just aren't interesting enough to make it worth sitting through.

Antiviral is not easy to characterize or rate. After the first half hour, I thought I would be rating it up. It begins more sci-fi than horror with look into a concept world (a kind of dystopia that people living in consider normal). FromAntiviral is not easy to characterize or rate. After the first half hour, I thought I would be rating it up. It begins more sci-fi than horror with look into a concept world (a kind of dystopia that people living in consider normal). From there it becomes less about the ideas and more a typical corporate thriller. The plot falls off and does not hold attention. Still, it is an interesting film that can be recommended to both fans of sci-fi and art house, though be warned that it has a fair amount of non-violent / psychological horror. Expand

2012 the year in which this film was released or 2019 the year I finally saw it. Its argument adjusts perfectly in any year since then.
If what happens in this film happens to be possible in real life, I don't want to imagine how many people
2012 the year in which this film was released or 2019 the year I finally saw it. Its argument adjusts perfectly in any year since then.
If what happens in this film happens to be possible in real life, I don't want to imagine how many people would actually do it. But it would be too many and that's not sad. It's grotesque.

Antiviral has an interesting theme but its slow narrative and its amateur staging only manage to decompensate the small balance that exists in its interesting story and therefore its structural poverty ended up undermining my interest and enjoyment.

It's a weekend film. And only if you don't have better options.
