| Virus | comment |
Virus is a 1999 science fiction-horror film directed by visual effects artist John Bruno and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, Daniel Kash, Cliff Curtis, Donald Sutherland, and Joanna Pacuła. The film is based on a Dark Horse comic book of the same name by Chuck Pfarrer.The film revolves around the crew of a tugboat, the Sea Star. After barely entering the eye of a hurricane, they see another ship on the radar — the Akademik Vladislav Volkov, a Russian missile and satellite tracking ship. With their boat taking on water faster than they can pump it out, the crew boards the Volkov, where they find that the electronics have been powered down and the crew has abandoned ship. Once they power up the ship, bad things happen.Another, unrelated movie with the same title came out nineteen years before this film. | |

| Virus / int_1b70ccc6 | comment |
The Cynic: Everton seems to come off as this. He has a photo of himself as a younger man (who was full of hope and ambition) in his office, and he tells his younger self he's sorry for letting him down when his cargo sank. This may partially be the reason for his Sanity Slippage. | |

Incredibly Obvious Bomb: One has a beeping timer with red numbers, the other is a huge pile of explosive materials strapped together with RPGs and primed with grenades that have their pins tied to a long ripcord. It sits out in the middle of the room like a sore thumb, but Goliath didn't seem to notice it until it was too late. Granted, it was a bit distracted at the time by the humans and their rocket-driven homebrew ejector seat. | |

Actor Allusion: A year earlier from the release of this film, Cliff Curtis was also in a film about a boat that stumbles upon a seemingly empty ship filled with unpredictable science fiction horror.

Unwilling Roboticisation | |
| Virus / int_4cb71cf9 | comment |
Unwilling Roboticisation: All the people killed and/or captured by the machines has this happening to them. Except for Everton. Interestingly, in the novel adaptation, he was not willing. He entered the machine shop just as he did in the movie and the whole scene plays out the same, but it's extended a few moments. After the scene in the movie plays out, Everton slowly realizes what the virus wants to do with him. He realizes that 'he had made a mistake', the door of the machine shop closes gently, and he starts to scream. | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Everton tries to sell out the others — and the whole human race by extension — to the virus in order to save his own hide. The virus responds by converting him. In the novelization, at least, this was not voluntary. Averted in the film since it's implied that he retained his full faculties. Averted again when "Everton" speaks with the Voice of the Legion, revealing that it was the Intelligence the whole time just speaking through him. | |

Humans Are Cthulhu: The alien Hive Mind considers the unnetworked primitive creatures who run entirely on wetware and enslave non-sentient machines to be both disgusting and incomprehensibly strange. After subduing the abominations it found itself surrounded by upon arrival, its "body" (the ship) has once again been invaded by more of the creatures, which are all trying to kill it. Hence, it sees its actions as an attempt to save the universe from an omnicidal plague of intelligent Puppeteer Parasites. | |

Rule of Scary: Why the virus feels compelled to incorporate biological components into its craft projects work is never fully explained, aside from that it makes them quite a bit more disturbing than "normal" robots. Then again, it is an energy being. To it, all matter, living and nonliving is alien to it. It sees little distinction when it found that it could fuse the two different things together to make tools for itself. | |

No Name Given: The virus is never given a name. The only time it ever referenced itself, it used the term "the whole", and given the context, it may have been referring to the planet, not itself. The only other time anyone actually spoke directly about it was when Nadya recounted what happened aboard the ship. During her story, she used only the terms "something" and "it". Interestingly, in the novelization, the virus is referred to as "the Intelligence." | |

Hypocrite | |
| Virus / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: In a conversation early in the movie, Squeaky tells Steve that he "would have decked that son of a bitch", referring to Everton after he pulled a gun on Steve earlier. No more than a minute later, the two criticize Foster for being tossed out of the navy for striking a superior officer. Neither of them acknowledge this, though the novel adaptation has Steve realizing the hypocrisy of the criticism. The machine saying that man is a virus is also slightly hypocritical, considering what the antagonist is. | |

Action Girl: Nadya definitely has her moments. There's also the fact that she had survived for a whole week in the ship fighting against the machines. | |

Artificial Zombie: The virus creates several of these, from Alexi, Squeaky, Woods, and Everton. And Hiko, but only in Foster's dream.. | |

Literal-Minded: When the crew are briefly able to converse with the Virus, they ask it what it wants, probably in the hope they can reason with it to get away. It replies by listing off various organic body parts: it took their meaning as an offer. | |

Expy: The film depicts an alien intelligence that views organic life as little more than spare parts, and immediately upon getting the opportunity, it augments bodies with cybernetics to create an army of rotting cyborgs operating under its collective Hive Mind. Not only that, it decides to create a colossal, quadrupedal machine to serve as the Load-Bearing Boss of it all. Sound familiar? | |
