Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's a strong movie... But maybe not what people are dialing up to see at this present moment. Aug 12, 2022 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone This is still star-driven, big-screen goofiness writ large, something to be consumed with popcorn and a crowd, and that fact its hitting U.S. screens during the summer dog days couldn’t be more welcome. Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A lumbering and desperate ode to our common humanity that also tries to scare and thrill viewers into submission. Rated: 0/4 Aug 12, 2022 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle In terms of major studio films with the power to actually influence audiences on a meaningful scale, I can’t imagine a film with much more effective potential. Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim In the span of time it takes for a plane to fly from Seoul to Honolulu, a psychopath boards an airplane at Incheon and releases a deadly biological pathogen onboard, which results in passengers getting sick and/or dying (and turning on each other). Rated: 3/4 Jul 27, 2023 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Emergency Declaration is thrilling and hits too close to home, given the world we’re living in now, but the film cannot stick the landing.

Kktran This is a must watch!!!!!!! 👍🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/22 Full Review Mae Great movie! Great acting from the entire cast! Highly recommend it. Relevant to our era and thought provoking. Yim Siwan's performance was dynamic and powerful. . Riveting! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/22 Full Review Janet R I love a good disaster movie and a good deadly virus flick. This had both! Excellent drama, keep things interesting, and kept the tension at just the right level. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/22 Full Review Melissa W it might come in third to prior Song Kang-ho/Lee Byung-hun movies Joint Security Area and The Good, The Bad and The Weird, but is still pretty great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/22 Full Review Apaan Y a really enjoyable story, stirring up emotion, too bad we can't really figure anything from Ryu Jin-Seok, as if we get any info or backstory it'll be a much clear vision of what makes him do all of those. It's giving a lot of epic scene throughout the end, and the jump from sad to relieve was a good swing too! love it, the acting was good too. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Audience Member definitely entertaining, the way they were willing to sacrifice for their families, really touching Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
