Ending Spoiler!!
This was an amazing movie. It had a great story, wonderful acting, and the production was amazing.I had heard alot about this movie being great but never took the time to watch it. I finally had to search for it when this movie was brought up in a tv show I was watching. I’m disappointed I hadn’t watched it sooner! It was a fantastic movie! Definitely something you don’t want to miss if you enjoy this genre.
Although I did highly enjoy watching this movie I am just a little bit disappointed with the ending. The ending of this movie was much more sad than I expected. Out of all of the characters that you are introduced to throughout the movie only two survive the whole thing. There’s a moment towards the very end where it seems as if those last two may also be killed off and in my opinion it would have made a better movie if they had been. Although it would have been heart breaking to see them go, it would have made for a much more interesting ending because I’ve never seen a movie where no one survived in the end.
Despite this, as I had stated in the beginning, this is an amazing movie. Great actors, great story, and great production. It’s definitely on my rewatch list

cry
Usually I'm not a big fan of zombies or apocalypse kind of theme but this one really caught me off guard.Every character was worth getting attached to, I cried every time ne of them died. And the acting was amazing, really mind blowing. The little girl at the end broke me, I have a feeling she's going to accomplish great things because that scene... really just made me cry a literal ocean.
I've actually watched this movie 3 times because I really never get tired of it, everyone just did such a great job. Every character was portrayed so well I'm so proud of everyone.
This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart due to the amazing screenplay of every actor, and the breathtaking plot. I'm forever amazed by it and I have a feeling I will NEVER get tired of it.

Iconic
As headline says, its iconic.Is it good? Yes, if you like Z-tales.
Predictable and I wish the jerks had worse endings.
I personally aint very fond of Z content but I endured this one, mainly because the acting was that good.
It was the perfect Z-popcorn excitement cine you watch with friends.
I wish the ending was a little bit better but all in all, it was quite good, again, its the acting that raises the rating, script wise, not as much .
Perhaps contradictive but it has 99% good re-watch rate as the Fx and all the small details you might miss the first round.
Another small interesting part is that the movie is 2hours long, which makes the story almost in real time (as a regular Soul-Busan journey takes ~2.5hours with the speed train), for that alone, it makes this worth watching.

HEARTFELT
A movie with great actors, screenplay and writing. But heart aches to rewatch it. A decent thrilling movie for beginners. Loved the daughter - Father bond the film played by Gong yoo & Suan. The climax was soo heartbreaking but showed the side of a father who sacrificed his life for the daughter.The pregnant women played by Jung Yumi loosing her husband played by Dong lee was soo heartbreaking😭 .It does have rewatched value , still heart aches to rewatch it . A thrilling yet a heartfelt emotional movie

Zombie Survival Done Right
For something that I expected to fall off short, I'm still in awe of what I saw. Sure, I've heard a lot of praise about this movie, but at the end of the day, it's just another zombie survival, how good can it get?I take it back. How good can it NOT get?!
When even Hollywood can't sell off a plot with its seemingly unending budget, you'd think nobody else can. Well, I guess I'm stepping into a territory where nothing of that matters.
This movie had everything, cast, plot, budget, and most importantly, it was enjoyable. The acting was superb, I really connected with all characters. The gore as unforgiving, and the stakes were racing the high skies. This is a really special experience as a first-time watch, and ever more so as rewatch material.

Very amazing zombie movie!
I absolutely adore Korean zombie shows and movies because they’re all very different and fun to watch!I watched this movie a longgg longggg time ago when it came out, I distinctly remember watching it hoping it for it to be scary as I was watching alone but NAHHH this was more heartwarming and intense than horror.
I absolutely despise the business guy omggg tho it’s been long since I last watched, I still remember this movie scene by scene, this is how good this movie is!!!
The child actor is amazing and awesome!
The acting is so catching and well done!
As a person who enjoys zombie shows, I’d definitely recommend anyone this movie first!
Also, to say about the zombies, they’re very fast and scary gosh
I remember crying buckets of tears on the last scene 😭😭😭

haha I'm depressed
i don't even know how to startfirst, i thought the movie would end well
most of the characters would be alive, but haha no
only the pregnant woman and the kid survived.
i wanted to know deeper the story of the characters to develop feelings for them you know? but i only had feelings for the pregnant couple and the father with his kid. (cried when he died lol)
plus, did the mother of the kid was alive or not? she didn't answered the phone calls but she could be alive.
i loved the action scenes! they were sooo cool!! the actors did an amazing job, i felt so emotional 💔 (Gong Yoo always impressive)
overall, the movie is so good!! i dare to say that is the best korean movie I've seen, but the end was empty...could have more

One of the best zombie movie
This is one the few zombie movies which are really good and are not just about action and all making 💥 boom bam here and there rather it's explore the grounded level problems and keep situations bit realistic and just not glorify the maine character.To be honest I'm not really fan of sad endings I even avoid watching movies or drama with sad sad endings but this is one of them which I watch even knowing that the ending is not really a happy ending.
And I think sad ending make this movie even more spacial.
So if you want to watch a zombie movie with emotional rollercoaster ride then just watch it without thinking about the ending I am sure you will like it.

Great movie it really makes you feel all the emotions.
I have watched many Zombie series/movies and i think this was the first movie where it made me full on cry. When i started the movie I didn't think you could get so attached to some of these characters which is never a good idea when you watch anything zombie related. So I didn't think the story would be so emotional surprised me there.Otherwise really great movie, the acting is really good you can feel every emotion through the actor/actress that it makes the story even more believable. The action scenes get you on the edge of your seat you never know what is going to happen, you never know how they will survive and get out of the situation. It never gets boring watching it.
This was my first review so I hope i wrote it ok. The first part was a review that doesn't contain spoilers the second part is just me ranting about some things from the movie which were the reasons I even wrote it in the first place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAJOR SPOLERS AHEAD!!!
That COCKROACH of a man did not only kill/infect all the people but also got infected himself, like he is so desperate to survive yet HE MANAGES TO DIE. Even the pregnant lady survived how can he so selfish and still be that useless for his survival.
Also the scene where the dad gets infected i couldn't have SOBED more it was already sad, but then they threw the flashbacks in NAHHH U TRYING TO KILL ME TOO.

ENDING WAS UNEXPECTED
Honestly, I went into watching this expecting just a 'scary movie' (as everyone says).However, I didn't expect to actually see character development from the male lead so quickly.
This was one of the best kmovies I've watched and probably will watch again.
The ending had me in tears.
ps.
a) that annoying, arrogant old man- i just wanted to slap him ; of course he had to be selfish to the end
b) i felt like that little girl learned a lesson but i feel bad because shes now traumatised for life

It'll wreck you
I kept getting recommended this movie so I finally sat down and watched it. Now, I don't often give media full marks but holy shiiiiit this was so good.Zombies:
I'm not really a huge fan of zombie shows or zombie movies. The way they implemented the zombies in this movie though... Definitely worth the watch. The way they used tricks with light and sound to maneuver past the zombies was so well coordinated. Add in the creepiness of these zombies running, climbing, and clamoring across each other for their next bite... well yeah it's definitely nightmare fuel.
Humans:
As always, the human aspect is often more terrifying than the zombies. You know what to expect with zombies. You never know when a human will decide to turn on you. The main group finding ways to push forward together, even with tension between them and a different group. The way the father fought to protect his daughter. The way the husband fought to protect his wife. The teenage friends. The elderly sisters. So many good scenes between characters. Some that are inspiring. Some that will absolutely wreck you. Some that will make you want to rage quit but keep watching because it is 100% worth it all just to reach the ending.
Movie:
I cannot stress enough that this movie is absolutely worth watching all the way through. You HAVE to get to the end. The payoff at the end is beautiful!
