The Paradise Virus is a 2003 apocalyptic action movie directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, starring Lorenzo Lamas, Melody Thomas Scott, and Ralf Moeller. The movie takes place in the Pacific Rim and is centered around a virus outbreak that threatens to wipe out the entire human population. The story begins with a group of scientists who are conducting experiments on the tiny island of Maiu'u, located in the Pacific. The scientists have been working on developing a vaccine for a deadly virus known as the Paradise Virus, but things take a dark turn when one of the lab assistants accidentally releases the virus. The virus rapidly spreads throughout the island, infecting nearly all of the inhabitants.

The U.S. military promptly responds to the outbreak, dispatching a team led by Colonel Andrew Harrison (Lorenzo Lamas) and his second-in-command, Major Renshaw (Ralf Moeller). Their mission is to rescue any surviving scientists and retrieve the data from the lab, which may hold the key to creating a cure for the virus.

Once they arrive on the island, however, the team discovers that the situation is much worse than they anticipated. The infected residents have become violent and aggressive, attacking anyone who crosses their path. The team must fight their way through hordes of infected to reach the lab and retrieve the data.

In the midst of the chaos, the team also comes across Sarah, (Melody Thomas Scott) a botanist who has been living on the island for several years. Sarah provides the team with valuable information about the virus and the infected behavior. She tells them that the virus is not a naturally occurring virus, but rather a man-made one that was created as a bioweapon.

The team is shocked to learn this, especially since they were previously under the impression that the virus was isolated to the island. With the possibility of the virus spreading beyond the island, the team must risk their lives to retrieve the data and stop the virus from spreading before it’s too late.

The Paradise Virus is packed with intense action sequences, as the team battles hordes of infected and navigates dangerous terrain. The special effects are impressive, and the performances of the main cast are solid. Lorenzo Lamas does an excellent job as the tough and dedicated Colonel Harrison, while Ralf Moeller brings a menacing presence as Major Renshaw. Melody Thomas Scott’s portrayal of Sarah adds a touch of vulnerability to the movie, while still allowing her character to be a strong and independent woman.

Overall, The Paradise Virus is an exciting and engaging movie that is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The plot is well-developed, the action is gripping, and the characters are likable and easy to root for. While the storyline isn't necessarily new, the movie is still worth watching for fans of the action, sci-fi, and apocalyptic genres.

The Paradise Virus is a 2003 action movie with a runtime of 85 hours. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.4.
