The goodbye message had me crying through the whole thing; Kim Nam Gil's emotional acting in that scene was impactful & it was my favorite moment of the movie. Even though this scene made me cry, I have to say the characters themselves were the weakest point. There were a lot of characters, and you don't get any time to actually get to know them, not even the main characters, and some of the characters didn't even have names.

Before that message, I honestly found most of the characters insufferable, especially in the first 20-30 minutes of the movie. That wasn't a good sign, but with these kinds of movies, people can change on a dime, so I didn't let it deter me from finishing the movie. I also hate when series and movies have too many stupid characters, and this one had so many. I don't think a few of them were able to think logically at all. I've never worked with nuclear power before, and never want to, but I'm smart enough to know when to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about over a person who is just worried about containing the media & saving money. You are messing with NUCLEAR power. That isn't something that you try to cut corners on. You can't slap a band-aid on it and fit it. Morons.

Also, I don't know how the other countries found out about it so quickly, but I'm going to be honest: I don't think the USA would be worried about any citizens who could be affected by what was happening. Maybe someone very high up would be warned, but I wouldn't expect them to inform normal citizens. That's a horrible thing to say about my own country, I know, but I also don't think I'm wrong.

Overall, it was a good movie that I would watch again.
