If you are looking for a disaster movie with some average comedy in it, this is your time. Also, this movie engages with how people react to sudden dangerous situations like this. Slowly starting with middle-class social problems in South Korea this movie suddenly goes through a disaster. So unexpectedly people have to face the consequences of that matter. So this movie is pretty enjoyable with your family members....
This movie tried something new by combining a disaster thriller with comedy and well al I can say is that they tried. The movie feels slow and dragging in some parts while some scenes just feel cartoony and unrealistic. The characters are likeable and funny but the movie was just lackluster.
A man and his family move into the home they've waited years for only to find that there may be some issues with the building foundation. Soon they are in a sinkhole nightmare.
I was expecting a bit more thrill than I got from this but what it lacked it thrill was compensated with humor. Overall, I found it to be an enjoyable watch.

Disaster movies trends to be tensed but in this movie, it isn't. You can feel the comedic vibe in intense moment. It felt weird but at the same time refreshing. Last part was just out of my imagination. Who ever thought of surviving in this way. Though it kind of dumbed but still kind of unique way. Overall it's good.
Well, if you enjoyed the 2021 movie "The Tower" (aka "Ta-weo") then you will also like "Sinkhole", given the director is the same behind both movies, and both movies are disaster movies with a very intense feel to it.
The storyline told in "Sinkhole" is certainly entirely new for me to see in the disaster movie genre, and that was rather refreshing. So writer Cheol-Hong Jeon definitely managed to come up with something new and exciting for this movie. Thumbs up for that accomplishment, because it really added a lot of excitement to the movie and provided good entertainment.
For a disaster movie, then "Sinkhole", much like "The Tower", is a very intense movie that puts the audience right in the chaos, and director Ji-Hoon Kim certainly manages to do that well. So this is a movie where you are rather involved in what is going on, and there isn't a dull moment throughout the course of the storyline.
Visually then "Sinkhole" is great. The special effects look really good and realistic, and the CGI and practical effects teams really brought the disaster to life in a very believable manner. So you are in for quite the visual treat if you opt to sit down and watch "Sinkhole" - which I can warmly recommend that you do.
The acting performances in "Sinkhole" are good, and they definitely had managed to hire a good ensemble of actors and actresses to participate in the movie.
This is definitely a movie that you should watch if you enjoy disaster movies.
My rating of "Sinkhole" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
