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.

All good Chinese film. May more dramas than the catastrophic themes, but the total resources. It's already officially on CDA premium. I recommend. Vvvvvvv.

I'm not sure if I dislike the film or the reviews for this film more. Chinas filming industry is trying too hard to catch up with the west in visuals and Oscar worthy films. It comes across shallow and unconventional in its screenplay.

The film doesn't hold itself and it doesn't understand why the film was made in the first place. It was only shot to test viewers where cinema is in China and to destroy America. China is sucking the tit out of democracy and its bleeding for approval with It's nationalism. Nationalism is what makes this film terrible to watch.

I find China cinema terrible and not grounded in though provoking ideas. China is only doing it to catch up!!!!

Don't believe a lot of the reviews of MANY Chinese movies on here which are over inflated as great. I loved Infernal Affairs and some other Chinese films but see all too often Chinese reviewers boasting about every film released from China. I can only recommend this if you have nothing else to watch and want to see a disaster movie like was, but if you want to see a good disaster movie I recommend The Tower and The Tunnel from Korea or The Quake and Wave from Norway. The Korean series Bargain is also good but it's more than just about the disaster which these other films have in common. I gave this three stars for FX that are hit or miss at times and the way it was shot. I didn't care for any of the characters cause we had little or no background on them unlike these other films. Some things were over the top as some have said, but to be fair, what disaster film isn't. Very formulaic and cliche ridden.

A natural disaster puts both a nearly complete railway tunneling project and many lives in danger. The main character Hong, an explosives engineer and the rest of the railway crew are on a rescue mission while time is running out. The movie was shot in Karst areas, capturing the spectacular views of Shuanghe Cave, one of the longest underground cave systems in the world. The technical details of explosives engineering, tunneling engineering and rail engineering look authentic and convincing. All the characters are well developed and together tell a great story. The free climbing towards the end is amazing and heartfelt, and I commend the actors for their tremendous efforts in making the scenes look legit. All in all a must see action movie in 2021.
