Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
paulclaassen Oh, wow, this was awesome! The Korean answer to 'Outbreak', but so much better without being melodramatic or predictable. The film so well depicts the ignorance of politicians and humanity's incapability of uniting and remaining calm during disasters. This was realistic, shocking and disturbing, and gets increasingly more intense as the film progresses. I did find the convenience element a bit overwhelming, especially with Hyuk Jang and Soo Ae's characters always ending up together despite the circumstances. Still, this was a really good disaster film, and so very possible.
Reno Rangan Where everyone began to love K-movies I am repelling away. Yeah its the fact happening to me for the last few K-movies I saw. I am kinda faded with those. The reason behind is overdone sentiments with a 8 year old girl character in all the movies. It's become a usual routine for the Korean movie makers to use little girl character and at the end a couple of touching lines delivered by them. Believe me it happened to me during 'Miracle in Cell No. 7' as well.I am a 'tearjerker' movie fan, remarking my favourite theme movie in dark shades is unfortunate. This movie was also had such kinda role. Beside the little girl two other characters had a prominent part. Korean movies are kinda popular among movie goers. So the stories as well in their movies improved a lot which gives international appeal. Like, this story which tells about a deadly disease or called bird flu that recently shaken the world.The story was okay, but the characters were utilised very well. And another highlight of the movie was the almost flawless graphics. Like I said the movie was thrilling and enjoyable as a collaboration of adventure and science fiction until the melodrama strikes at the end. I found it kinda realistic, the people's response during the epidemic occurrence. Even smartly told how the political works during those times. Especially the vocal battle between Korean and American officials really heats up the momentum.It is a perfect movie if you are looking for a pre apocalypse theme. I am glad it was a single movie, in the west for a same story they will drag into a trilogy like 'World War Z'. Introduction and initiating theme in the first, escaping and surviving in the second and grand solution in the third. This K-movie had all those in here itself and nothing left for a sequel. But still can be dragged into a sequel in different aspect of the story that continue from here after. Finally, I conclude by saying, the stuffs that happened in this movie will affect your life (in a humorous way) when you see a person around you who coughs.
Bob Burnquist This was amazing. The first few minutes of the film, prior to outbreak, were a bit hokey and off putting. However, once the outbreak began it was non-stop edge of your seat drama and action. The last 30 minutes / final arc of the film was the most dramatic close to a film I have ever seen; the whole time you will be holding your breath or nail biting just praying things would go a certain way. The main three characters played their roles to perfection, especially the lead male and the little girl. The antagonists were also very well done as well. There were many shocking elements that you won't see coming, and the production value of the film was very good. 9/10 stars, a must watch.
devesh pant Flu is a good movie or actually you can say great movie created by the Korean.I am not a native speaker; I even don't know Korean language at all. I watched whole movie with subtitle ON to understand it but though I am not a native speaker so I can't say much about acting of the actors. Actually if you saying about the acting I actually like the work done by the little girl in this movie, she had done a great work and others actors acting I don't like it that much it is so-so performance on the movie. Other than acting I would say everything is great story is good, direction is good. Story of the movie start with car accident where actress of the stuck and hero of the film save after that the main movie start when container full of people are transported from the Indonesia and container come with dead people those people are dead because of flu except one guy who spread the flu and flu start spreading all over the city and after that they show on the movie how they stop the flu. In end of the movie little dramatic or no need of those scene actually which makes the movie kind of boring rather than that whole movie is awesome
