The Straits Times (Singapore)

This environmental thriller is nuclear-level bang for your buck -- big, unsubtle entertainment.

Rated: 3/5

James Marsh

Deadline Hollywood Daily

Cesium Fallout bombards its audience with a cacophony of mindless destruction and muddled messaging, yet somehow fails to illustrate just what it is that these individuals are so courageously fighting for.

South China Morning Post

Billed as Hong Kong cinema’s first nuclear radiation disaster blockbuster, Cesium Fallout is a mega-budget ensemble drama that just about survives its flimsy set-up to offer an engaging hypothetical scenario of how such a crisis could be handled.

Rated: 3.5/5

Rare disaster movie from Hong Kong but very good! Certain scenes have slow pace but only a few and not too long. Recommended.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Cesium Fallout is a well made movie. It is fictional, but every detail is plausible. Emotions are high throughout with very convincing delivery. It is also a timely movie to remind us of the environmental threats humans create for ourselves.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
