Summary

The crew of a tugboat caught in a Pacific typhoon boards a seemingly abandoned Russian research vessel, hoping to claim it as salvage. Once aboard, they discover the ship has been overrun by an alien electrical intelligence that views humans as a virus to be exterminated, and is using the ship's machinery to build mechanical killers from human parts.

Released in 1999, Virus is an action, horror and science-fiction film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 7 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
