Plot

Four kids are driving through the desert on the way to the beach, their faces anything but cheery: this isn't Spring Break. They're trying to outrun the end of the world and each other. In Alex and David Pastor's CARRIERS, no one is safe from the viral pandemic threatening to wipe out the human race. Determined to elude the deadly virus, Danny , his brother Brian, his girlfriend Bobby and Danny's school friend Kate speed across the Southwestern U.S. to reach a place of possible safety. Over the course of four days, the group is faced with moral decisions that no human should ever be forced to face. They discover that their greatest enemy is not the microbe attacking humanity, but the darkness within themselves.

Acting

Very good cast and Chris Pine was a stand out, and is sure to be a big star some day. Cast also includes Piper Perabo, Chritopher Meloni, and Emily Van Camp.

Gore

A dog is shown eating a dead and infected corpse, some gunshots.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

Very good post-apocalypses movie, that it well acting, mostly well written. It's very much story based, as it PG-13, and has little gore, but it looks like it was PG-13 because it turned out that way, its not one that you can tell was intended to be R and tone down for the studio. Although it does have a few plot holes, i would  recommend everyone see this movie and not to be frightened by the PG-13 rating, as is delivers a good story and some quality acting sequences.
