An edge-of-the-seat thriller

The South Korean movie, EMERGENCY DECLARATION, is an on-the-edge-of-the-seat thriller. While investigating a terrorist threat that goes viral online, Korean authorities discover that a suspect has recently boarded an international flight bound for the United States. When a healthy passenger on the same flight suddenly dies a gruesome death of unknown cause, panic erupts both in-flight and on the ground. With steadily decreasing fuel and international refusals to offer aid, the captain and crew will be forced to take unprecedented emergency measures to save the lives of their passengers.

This is a non-stop action-packed film with excellent acting by the entire cast. The tension mounts with each passing minute as the authorities race against time to find the source of the deadly virus before it claims any more victims. The special effects are top-notch, and the film's ending is sure to leave audiences breathless.

The cinematography must have been incredibly challenging. The interior of the aircraft is shot so that we feel we are right there with the characters. This adds to the suspense and makes for a truly harrowing experience. And the fear and anxiety we have all experienced about dangerous viruses as we have lived through the pandemic intensified the impact of this film for me. (Note: The movie doesn't exploit the pandemic -- it was conceived before the pandemic had begun).

EMERGENCY DECLARATION is a well-crafted, edge-of-your-seat thriller that is sure to keep audiences entertained from beginning to end. It is a must-see for fans of the genre.

Gripping disaster movie on a plane

A bit lengthy with some overheated exchanges and too many issues at same time, Han Jae-rim managed to present a gripping disaster movie from start to finish. Despite being underutilized, Song & Lee showed great fortitude to lead high-quality cast.

Just a okay movie

I know it is just a movie but even so, no rational country would let their own citizen to die,letting the pilot to make decision not to land. And why people are so stupid thinking that by landing they will infect their family? Did they not understand what quarantine means? Even if the vaccines haven't been found, did they have to blindly think it is the end of the world for them? Yes it is a movie but can it be sensible and rational? And why in the world the transport and infra minister went to the hospital and taking charge of the patient infected with virus? Where is the health minister? At the end of the movie,what kind of hearing they committee was discussing? I thought they will discuss on what went wrong,why the planes have to skip landing in Hawaii and Japan etc. Instead they are talking nonsense such as why the perpetrator turns from normal guy to a monster. I regretted watching the movie cause my mind cannot process the stupidness of the actions.
