too soon... but not really?
i'd be guilty if i say that the reason this movie caught my eye was because im si wan is in it. after seeing countless of tiktoks about this movie, i just knew i had to give this a go.
boi, did i not make a mistake giving this movie a chance. the buildup to the suspense and thriller part of the movie was INSANE. at some point, i was thinking this will focus on being a psychological thriller because the villain had me HOOKED. however, an hour in to the movie, the pace was aiming for an emotional tone and it was then i realised, "oh shit, this situation hits far too close to reality i'd be delusional to deny"
in a messed up situation wherein people are in danger, there are those who have their survival instincts kick in intensely. looking at how our own world is in shambles with so many problems going on, this movie dives deep into a pandemic situation and shows how there is still humanity present. although it was heart-wrenching to see the people in the plane interact with their families, i personally wasn't a fan of the pacing from absolute thriller to this almost makjang feel.
one thing i wasn't sold was how quickly things got wrapped up. in my opinion, the ending was rushed. it wasn't even shown whether the main characters got to see their family when emotional buildup was there for them. however, all in all, this movie did well to keep me focused, barely leaving my seat despite my wifi making me watch this for more than two hours.
