so much pressure
I just finished the movie a little while ago and I'm still thinking about the characters.I was so invested that my eyes were glued to the screen!! I felt tense, scared, and angry, so I'd say it's a good movie because it managed to convey such emotions to me.
The actors did a great job and it was the first time I saw Kim Nam-gil and Lee Byung-hun acting!
But some negative points I have are: Im Siwan's character died so quickly ? I wish he had more screen time. I felt that the ending was very rushed, they could have shown the reunion of the survivors with their families and the recovery of the infected people. Lastly, I don't know if that was the purpose, but certain parts of the soundtracks just ended abruptly, without that "fade out" so it seemed kind of strange...
anyway, it was a great movie! i recommend if you like tension

2 hours and 20 minutes of suspense
I had this movie on my "to watch" list for quite some time, but I finally got around to watching it, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Initially, I hesitated because I thought it might be too long for a plane hijacking movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by its depth and complexity.The cast, as expected in Korean cinema, delivered stellar performances (Veterans never miss).
The first half of the movie hooks you with its mystery and detective work, while the second half delves into deeper emotional territory, prompting contemplation about how you would handle similar situations.
In summary, I highly recommend it; it's truly worth every minute.

I'm not getting on a plane anytime soon!
Story: a very timely story, for the world we live in (unfortunately). This movie had action, drama, a speck of humor, as well as shining a light on how strong the survival instinct is for people, often at the expense of others. There were a lot of moments when I got angry at the injustices that these poor people on the plane were facing.Acting: Very good, especially Siwon, who was the standout. I love seeing actors that I've seen in multiple other works. It feels kind of like getting together with old friends.
Music: Was there music?
Rewatch Value: For me, low, since I know the ending. This is a movie that I think can be enjoyed more fully, the less you know about it going in.
Overall: Very good action flick.

Now this is how you do a disaster movie!
The headline says it all. One of the best disaster movies in the entire game!Emergency Declaration is an outstanding film that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. With a gripping storyline and exceptional performances by the cast, it's a must-see for any fan of suspenseful thrillers.It is well acted , well produced, screenplay to die for and pacing that is heartracingly sublime! I was a total sweating mess watching this and thats exactly what a disaster thriller should do!
On top of the thrills- it delves into complex moral dilemmas and the human psyche under extreme pressure. The movie does commentary and thought provocation searingly well and that is so amazing to pack in the high stakes of everything.
The visuals are striking, and the use of sound adds an extra layer of intensity to the viewing experience.The cast delivers outstanding performances across the board. Everyone is phenomenal and all convey the desperation,determination or greed of their characters brilliantly.
Overall - its a must watch. Truly a top contender in the disaster movie game because of its ability to create a palpable sense of urgency and emotional connection with the characters.
I can see this being a future cult classic of the genre.

Buena trama final horrible
He visto muchas peliculas que tratan sobre atentados o catastrofes sin embargo esta ha sido una montaña rusa de emociones ya que nos introducen un buen villano para que termine muriendo a la mitad de la pelicula, y tambien la ida y vuelta de que si las vacunas funcionaban o no, el final no tiene sentido ya que el virus debio propagarse mas rapido y morir todos ese era el final que debio pasar era el que tenia sentido.Las actuaciones son muy buenas la musica los efectos todo esta bien, solo el final no me convece talvez soy yo pero no me gusta los finales esperanzadores en este tipo de peliculas
