Y.L.A. VIRUS, THE cover image
The Y.L.A. Virus is very adorable and relatable for children. Most surprisingly, the whole team is made up of primary school and middle school students, which is very cool! They are very creative students.

After ten years, there is a new virus appear in the world. One day, several kids are playing outside and one girl touches the plant. However something wrong happens and she can't move. Other kids also can't move because they all touched the plant. At the end, they find teacher to help them.

I really like this storyline; this story relates to the environment and is super interesting. The storyline is not super strong, but it is very nice. I also like that when the young children face difficulties they are willing to help each other. The cinematography is quite good; it has a lot of Dutch angle shots to show some kinds of tension. The background music changes throughout the film; changing from the soft, quiet background music to tense music, to steel band sounds when the problem is resolved. I love the acting by the kids and I like their teamwork.

The film's message is about the importance of teamwork, especially in protecting the environment.

I give this film 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults.
