Project Noah, a secret medical facility where
scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to
the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the
human race. When a young girl, Amy Bellafonte (
Saniyya Sidney), is chosen to be a test subject, Federal Agent Brad Wolgast (
Mark Paul Gosselaar)

Ugh. I'm getting sick of science fiction.
ReplyDeletethat is why you won't be prepared when the vampires come, missy
DeleteI have the books but haven't started them yet!
ReplyDeletetheir volume is too scary!
DeleteThe title 'the Passage' reminds me of a well-known saying 'Life is a journey (passage)not a destination'.
ReplyDeleteThe journey here is the experiments with the dangerous virus that will perhaps lead to a cure to all diseases (the desired destination).
Love the girl's outfit.
sad they met the vampires along that passage....
DeleteAs much as we love Mark Paul, I think this one will be a pass for me. I'm with Debra on being so sick of all of this Sci Fi popping up lately.
ReplyDeleteI will avoid this one too, it is too procedural for me, but I do ever so adore Mark Paul. I also do not appreciate the blackwashing of the little girl. Those things should work both ways.
DeleteThose things should work both ways, but we are living in times where it's offensive to be white, so this isn't the last of it. It's like when people were up in arms with Target because their ad ran a white girl wearing "Annie" clothes when the movie came out. I guess people forgot that the original Annie was a little red headed white girl. As long as we keep letting liberals get away with their ridiculousness, it will just continue.
Deleteit will get worse and worse! Yesterday they saw Trump in a Kinder Surprise Egg! Evil minds see evil where they want to.
