    rigid propaganda film

    The rigid propaganda film fully embodies the reality of the current system that only contends for contempt and only calls for rigid slogans, regardless of whether it is black and white. From the beginning, it shows a logical black hole. The firefighting needs to take the bridge. The fire brigade is set up unreasonably. The hot pot restaurant is on fire, which means that a lot of oil and water are fired.

    Lousy Chinese movie

    Cringe worthy, some bad effects, horrible acting. Only China giving it good reviews. Truly appalling.

    chinese melodramatic heroism

    This is far away a theatrial melodrama of dimensions, that gives you a pampered roller coaster ride of heroism and grief.

    its based on true happenings back in august 2015, and the film didnt mention that 170+ fatalities and 700 + injuries batteling the fire. far to little has leaked out on this incidenjt so we must embrace the film that has been made, because the fire and the action inbetween the saluting and words of wisdome are very well made.

    if you like firebattling in the danger zone, do watch this , the grumpy old man did. by all means recommended

    Beautiful Disaster

    Disaster movies - while technically not a genre, it is something that a lot of people enjoy. Well that may not be the right way to describe it. It is I guess about the trill, about the will to survive, about what humans are able to do and overcome to survive. And living through something exciting, without actually having to do it one self ... the characters on screen go through it all. Succesfully or not is a different story and may lead you to like this more or less, depending on your inclinations/expectations.

    Having said all that, the drama is high in this, but it does look amazing! The effects are great, the cinematography is as good as it can get and the soundtrack elevates it even a bit further. So if you are into these dramas, there is no way around this (and you probably will like this even more than what I rated it). Having said all that, it is up to you to decide if it floats your boat ... burns down your house? Well you know what I mean ...
