[Friday-27] Tsunami in Haeundae

Tsunami in Haeundae (2009) is Korea's first disaster film. It's supposed to be a serious and grim movie, however, you'll find some funny slapstick-like elements here & there in the movie to lighten up the movie's somber atmosphere. 

The first one hour of the movie is rather draggy and slow-paced with focuses on different characters. It's rather confusing at first because the characters weren't related to one another. 

The movie became "watchable" when the coastal town of Haeundae was struck by mega-tsunami as predicted by one of the marine geologists and the Koreans tried to survive by all means. The scenes reminded us of the real catastrophic tsunami that struck in December 2004 and took the live of as many as 300,000 people.

Overall, if you could bear the first half of the movie, you'll still find the rest of the movie interesting and meaningful.
