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.

It's a strong movie... But maybe not what people are dialing up to see at this present moment.

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.

A lumbering and desperate ode to our common humanity that also tries to scare and thrill viewers into submission.

Rated: 0/4

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

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.

Culture Mix

Emergency Declaration does not do anything groundbreaking in its depiction of an airplane hijacking, but this action flick delivers plenty of suspense to make it memorable. The movie's acting performances are also worth seeing.
