While the movie is pretty typical for a volcano disaster movie goes, there's a lot of things going on in it. The whole is mostly a group of solider trying to get uranium bomb to prevent another disaster. I don't know if it's possible to get it from North Korea and if it going to work at all. They try to cramp in a lot of things into it like the disaster scenes, the military action, and minor side plot that goes nowhere interesting. The disaster scenes are done pretty good with how much tension it goes to it and the CGI looks pretty decent for it. The characters aren't really that bad, but aren't that memorable. This is a decent watch.

THIS IS THE CAT!!!!! Anyway,intro's done.Let's begin. This...is quite simple to review.It is a blockbuster. To be precise,a blockbuster is a film type that is mostly followed by several characteristics- -huge budgets -huge financial gain -heavy use of CGI and special effects -famous actors and actress -basic,rudimentary,unoriginal storylines -morally pure protagonists. -pg-13 -positive endings -large action sequences Basically,this film has it all.

This disaster plus action movie is exciting from big disaster scene near the beginning to the very end. The effects are as good as any Western blockbuster and the battle sequences are exciting and well choreographed. The characters are funny and quite endearing. The story is more complex than expected with a good amount of humour and some political subplot involving nukes North South China and US. Good use of some big name Korean stars. Worth a watch.

If this movie was solely made for destruction and action escape sequences like most of Hollywood movies does with no logic this movie did it bad. i watched this movie solely for the story line and expected a lot but all ended with a whimper.

I like a good disaster movie if it at least tries to make sense. I did have to watch it dubbed but the voice over actors did a great job of portraying the emotion of the Korean actors. I'd like to see more Korean movies get dubbed in English.
