A different kind of disaster movie
What I really liked about this movie is that compared to most it's relatively low stakes. It's not humanity vs the end of the world, it's about saving one town. It was nice to see that the only 'villain' of the story is nature. There's no evil capitalist putting money ahead of people's lives. Instead everyone comes together to do what they can to help regardless of the financial impact. It's refreshing to see when the news seems to be full of people being selfish at the moment.
The acting was fantastic, especially Zhu Yilong, Huang Zhizhong and Chen Shu.
This movie isn't going to be a life-altering experience but for the genre I found it very enjoyable.
