Nesianetwork.id - Of the many films, the Disaster genre does bring its own tension even without the jump scares of horror films. Examples of films in the famous Disaster genre include Armageddon, which was released in 1998, starring Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, or the 2012 film which was no less exciting at that time.
This time the film we will discuss is entitled Ashfall, a disaster action film from South Korea directed by director Kim Byung-seo. Not half-hearted in the cast, famous names took part in the film which was broadcast in Indonesia on January 8 2020. Just mention Lee Byung Hun, Ma Dong Seok aka Don Lee, Ha Jung Woo, Bae Suzy, and Jeon Hye Jin.
Storyline Ashfall Movie
Disaster rocked Korea unexpectedly. When Baekdu - the highest mountain in Korea erupted and spewed ash into the atmosphere. A major disaster is now threatening Seoul (South Korea) and Pyongyang (North Korea). To deal with this disaster, a South Korean explosives expert (Ha Jung Woo) must work together with a North Korean special official (Lee Byung Hun) and the number one geologist (Ma Dong Seok) to stop a devastating disaster that could cause Korea to disappear from the world map forever.
Review Ashfall Movie
The story is simple, bombing the side of a mountain so that the lava leaks out before the next eruption which could trigger a more powerful earthquake and tusnami. The CGI displayed is very neat, it's natural that this film is made by Dexter Studios, which has successfully presented the epic story Along With The Gods.
The ending of the story reminds me of the title of the film that I mentioned at the beginning, namely Armageddon, the mission is to detonate a bomb so that the earth is safe. Unfortunately it has to be triggered manually for various reasons, and yes, you have to let one of the main characters sacrifice themselves so that the others are safe.
Talking about Disaster Movies, Indonesia actually also has a film called Bangkit which was released in 2016 and stars Vino G Bastian, telling the story of flash floods that hit Jakarta. Even though the CGI side is still far behind, at least we already have local films in the disaster genre.
Overall it is interesting to watch, for those who missed the quiet cinema screening period, the film Ashfall can be enjoyed on Google Play Movies, you can rent it online. Score 7.5/10, happy watching.
