Tesunya Nov 19 2018 12:41 pm Somehow resembles the true incident at fukushima power plan, I heard there are reports about its not as safe as it seems when thing goes for the worse like catastrophic disasters, & it did, a tsunami following an earthquake hit it

Scott A. Tate May 28 2018 5:34 pm This is a very well made Korean movie, I understand and speak the language fairly well so I was able to enjoy the movie without out watching the sub titles.

   The actors did a really nice job and I was able to really get into the film due to the great job of acting,  Movee has some very sad moments and some very up lifiting as well,  The triumph of the human spirit is all through out the film, I truly enjoyed it.

Best Regards
