Trivia:
The lyrics of the Russian march heard during the end credits are actually the names of various cast and crew members pronounced backwards. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: Foster uses a standard "floating needle" field compass to discover the direction to which the ship was "turning itself." Floating needle compasses are ineffective on modern steel ships: the enormous metal mass absorbs the Earth's relatively weak magnetic field, rendering those compass types useless. moreFAQ

What I noticed about "Virus" is that ANYTHING can happen to ANY of the characters. They actually get the crap beaten out of them, even Jamie lee. The special-effects are fantastic for this film and the robots are actually menacing. The characters aren't too interesting but they suit the film. I was surprised at how the movie wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be. "Virus" takes a new direction. Instead of having a bunch of aliens or monsters running around, killing people, they have robots. It's an original idea that hasn't been tackled that often in this type of genre. A good movie.
