Empire Magazine

A moody, engaging end-of-the-world horror-drama, if a bit too apocalypse-lite.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

This thoughtful, low-key exploration of our darker survival instincts is too conventional and unfocused to fully engage our emotions.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Although the film comes very close to being more than run-of-the-mill horror fodder, too much studio meddling and a shifting tone leave the result uneven.

Rated: 2.5/4

This film aged REALLY well, considering I am watching it for the first time on the ParaMount +. I expected a zombie component but was surprised the super plague was the main theme. Lots of adventures await, and I love Piper. Recognized her from the few appearances over the years all the way back to coyote ugly. Chris Pine is now a legend like his Dad, but typecast always as James T. Anyone who is looking for a good raw post apocalyptic romp will enjoy Carriers. I give it 4 of 5 matzahs.

I thought at first, it's a typical zombie movie. But I was wrong and amazed how I was entertained.
