This is never boring and has plenty of good effects, but could've used a tighter script. Nothing overly intelligent but there's lots of gore and grisly scenes on display for horror fans.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Between ripping of the First Contact, Alien, and Leviathan, Virus provides a few barely passable action sequences. Unfortunately, the nasty mechanical creatures look great, but they move as if they're running by remote control. Which they are. And if it looks fake, I cant' get into it, man.  --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
