What’s typical about the story was its style like many other Korean movies, the first half was filled with humour before the drama and disaster set in. What’s typical was like many other Hollywood disaster movies, the story first focus on a few group of people and their individual stories first, before going into the disaster so that the emotional drama was there.
But how it has done well was the story of those group of people, and that’s where the difference between this and other Hollywood movies lie; though not by too much as many sub-plots reminded that of Hollywood.
The CGI however were done well enough to be believable. But it was how the visual effects were used to humour in some cases, were most impressive.
But before the CGI kicked in, it was quite a long waiting game in the first half. That’s where the characterisation of the people involved were important and they were done well enough to keep things interesting most of the time. Among the cast, Ha Ji-Won stood out being the most charismatic and likeable.
