Shocking life form

Virus is based on a Dark Horse comic book. It has a lot of behind the scenes talent such as Gale Anne Hurd (Terminator/Aliens.) Director John Bruno is an Oscar winner for visual effects for The Abyss and he also did the VFX for Terminator 2 and Titanic.

It is no surprise then that the film rips off many of these films in the genre especially as it becomes Aliens meets Robocop meets Terminator.

An electrical based alien life form views humans as a virus, only useful for spare parts and slowly converts the humans into cyborgs.

The film starts off in a Russian space station before settling in a Russian ship. Our heroine is Jamie Lee Curtis a navigator in a tugboat with uninsured cargo destroyed in a typhoon.

The salty captain of the ship, is mean, a drunkard and on the verge of catastrophic failure. He is played by Donald Sutherland.

They stumble on the now abandoned Russian ship and want to take it as valuable salvage before they realise something else is also aboard.

Lee Curtis shows a lot of spirit, she is assisted by a bland William Baldwin. Sutherland is the hissable villain, a mixture of Captain Hook and Quint from Jaws.

The special effects are very good but the script is a let down and the film is rather dull.

Curiosidades
Because the ship had been mothballed in the James River Reserve Fleet (on the border of Isle of Wight County and the city of Newport News), it was covered in rust and in disrepair when the filming started. One side of the ship was painted and dressed up for the movie, leaving the other half in poor condition. Hence, only one side of the ship was ever filmed on camera for the movie.

Pifias
The tug shown is one that would be used in a harbor or perhaps for short-distance towing, not in the open ocean. Furthermore, the short-chain method shown is not suitable for ocean towing. It would have snapped in any decent roller, and would not have lasted for more than a few minutes in the storm shown.

Citas

Versiones alternativas
The DVD contains three deleted scenes:
a discussion between Foster and Richie, in which Richie says he doesn't like Foster aboard a ship, which is followed by a discussion of Hiko's tattoos. Then Hiko tells Baker about his ancestors and his greatest fear.
an extended version of the scene where Foster and Baker flee using the rocket motors.
the original entrance of Everton into the Antenna Control room, which was changed in the theatrical release because the studio felt that adding computer generated robotic legs would cost too much and because the test audiences didn't like the line "It's me: Bob."
