Everytime when we go on a holiday, this is what we normally request when booking hotel rooms. I’m not sure if after watching this movie, do I still want to request for higher floors. >_<
Like every other epic disaster movies, the film started with happy and warmth touch.. and like any other korean movies, they like to insert a bit of humor too. It was a Christmas Eve party in preparation for the newly opened sky tower in Korea. Here we see a beautiful Son Ye-jin.. omg she’s same age as me! T_T
Because the guests were all rich tenants and VIPs, the hotel arranged helicopters to fly around the twin towers to drop artificial snow, creating a super romantic and beautiful ambiance.
Never did they expect it, the bad weather caused the helicopters to crash into the building and a super fierce fire broke out, causing explosions and the tower to tilt towards another. The worst that could happen would be the falling of both towers domino effect, and threatening the lives of hundreds, stuck in the high levels of the sky tower, and also the surrounding buildings.
Even without the fire breakout, this brand new skyscraper isn’t reliable at all. Water sprinklers weren’t working, the kitchen design wasn’t safe for cooking. The bosses and management only wanted to impress and earn more money, without considering public safety. Sigh.. typical.
There was a super funny and humorous part in the show that got us LOL-ing… they played a great joke on Religious people. Hahahaa… you gotta see it and you know what is so funny.
Overall, the film had impressive effects and convincing CGI, super COOL to watch in cinemas! Although the premiere was screened on a Monday night after a long day’s work, I got hooked and stayed awake through!
Pretty in white, for a reason, to be stained with ashes and blood. O.o
Desperation, lost, yet in hope. Power of life. staying alive.
If it’s courage for the people who were stuck in there to stay alive, then this fireman has amazing C O U R A G E to break into the “explosive skyscrapper”, leaving his wife suffering alone at home on a Christmas Eve. Ok, he’s a good man, but definitely not a good husband I’ll say.
I am not a fan of tall skyscrapers, but I’ve been to a few like Taipei 101 and Kaoshiung 85.. I wonder if it’s also like this in the “inside”. Hmmmmm…..
