Leofwine_draca THIRST is probably the most boring movie called THIRST. It's a wannabe-environmental disaster movie that would like to be thought of in the same breath as OUTBREAK, except as a small-budgeted TV movie it's lacking in every respect and just doesn't pass muster as a thriller.The major problem with this film is that it's so boring! A plot about an outbreak of deadly bacteria in a small town's water supply has the potential for much incident and high drama, but instead the writers (and there are too many of them) strive to make this as mundane as possible. Scenes of people dying from poisoned water are filmed in such a hokey way that I was laughing at them, as cruel as that sounds.The acting is routine and the characters even more routine, and have seemingly been picked out of a box of stereotypes. There's the heroic engineer character, who wouldn't you know it is a loving family man on the side; his glamorous wife, who happens to be a crusading doctor on the side; the evil mayor, who ignores warnings and does all in his power to cover everything up. And so it goes on.There's barely no drama, no characters to like or care about, nothing that hasn't been paraded out a zillion times already. In fact, there's no reason to like THIRST, as even by the shoddy standards of made-for-TV disaster movies it's a real timewaster.

dementedpyrospiders I saw a movie more than ten years ago about people in a town somewhere in Southern California getting sick and dying from drinking water that has been contaminated with parasites! The scientist and engineers thought they got the problem solved by replacing the filtration system and there was still parasites getting through the water filtration system! Then they stumbled upon the idea to come up killing the parasites and purifying the water by making a using a powerful ozone generator. I wonder if this is the movie i saw years ago(?) I only saw the movie once. I clearly remember the movie ends where they used the ozone generator and the water came out clear of parasites! Is this the movie??

Naturalessence This movie Lifetime TV during the week that hurricane Katrina ravished the Louisiana coastline. Usually, when I watch these movies, I just watch them. But this particular day, it made me cry when the military brought the tanker truck in with water on the back and all the citizens were turning the truck over to get to the bottles of water. Even when the bottles were bursting on the ground, and the dog was licking it up out of the cracks of the sidewalk, art just imitated life a little too close for me that day.Other than that, I found it quite interesting (for a Lifetime movie.) Usually, they include some rich, white woman whose perfect life is shattered by a horrible secret, a best friend who sleeps with their husband, or and evil child they gave up years ago who has returned very bitter.

LAC-2 Thirst seemed to be just another disaster movie. Our hero of the story, knowing the extreme danger and threat to the welfare of his family, should have gotten them out of town before the quarantine. The plant manager was incompetent as far as politics are concerned. Why didn't he know where the $15,000,000 went? The mayor was the biggest joke of the entire movie. A liar, a swindler, a finger pointer from the beginning. Sounds like another true politician to me. He should have been run out of town on a rail.
