I liked the story, it is nothing new but it was easy to follow. I liked the story more if it gave a bit more background information. I did like the development of some people and also I really like when a movie tells everything in the end and explains it.
The acting is really nice, they really convinced me, but I found some characters a bit weak but that doesn't kill the movie!
I am a big time scardy cat and some scenes did shock me. But for the people who watch horror movies all the time this isn't scary at all I think haha!
Watch this if you like a nice story with some horror scenes.
Skip if you are a big time scardy cat or if you are looking for extreme horror (because this isn't).

The story is about an apocalypse. It had potential but they messed this movie (sadly) up in different ways.
First, the leads acting feels really weak and they don't move me at all. The main character is stumbling around, falling down, and then waddling around on the ground like an invalide thoughout the whole movie (and I am not overreacting I do think in the whole movie he fell down like 50 times).
Second, we're missing a good story or plot here and I don't think their actions or anything what happend was realistic. It was sometimes so boring that I skipper some scenes.
And thirth I didn't like the music at all, somehow it didn't fit the scenes.
The most annoying thing is that movie had real potential! The scenery was very good (some special effects too) but they didn't do anything with it, if it would have a more interesten story and better actors (IMO) it would have been a good movie.
Watch this if you like apocalypse movies.
Skip this if you are looking for a great story with amazing acting.

The story itself it very dark because it is based on true events (and partly fictional). So the story in this movie is unique. But because of the fact that it is based on true events it wil emotionally move you. I cried, sat on the tip of my seat, held my breath and I could feel the despair and anger.
The cast did an amazing job. It was almost like they were the ones who had been trough this all. Their emotions were acted in an excellent way.
The music they had chosen fit every scene.
I think everyone should watch this movie. It has suspense, drama, romance and so much more. It is definitely not a waste of your time, please watch this movie!

The story is partly fictional, but we all (even me as an European) know what happened on May 18th. They portray the story in a unique way to start the movie and I appreciate it!!
The acting is superb. I cried, got angry and felt so sad. The actors really moved me, I felt their pain and I could onderstand their actions. Their emotions and actions were so raw. As if the actors really did take part in that day.
This movie has action, suspense, drama and you are going to sit on the edge of your seat. It will leave you with many thoughts and emotions.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know (a little bit) of the history of may 18 (watch the movie May 18 for more information I also highly recommend this movie). I acctualy think everyone should watch this because it isn't a waste of time and the acting in this movie is so incredible and marvelous!

This movie is based on the manga Toshokan Senso, I' didn't read it so maybe people who did read the manga might find this movie not that great, or can't agree with my review, so please onderstaand that I didn't read the manga and based this review on the movie only!
The story is refreshing and living in the EU (and without any censorship) so I found this movie very interesting! The first parts of the movie are somewat slow but after 30 minutes it pickes itself up and gives you the action you've come for. It also contains tiny bits of humor, but that is fairly acceptable in this movie.
The acting was good, not great. But I did love those action scenes in them, they really took the time to perfect these. And the music really moved you in certain scenes!
Overall I did like this movie, there is loads of action involved, it might be educational and (maybe like me) you'll het interested in the case of censorship. Don't expect any romance if that is what you are looking for!

The story is something from a homemade fanfiction. And actually I enjoyed it, because it is simple, easy to follow and fast paced. But it does lack some more background information, and the interaction between the 2 main leads coudl have been better. And I think they could have better made a movie about this and made the story longer, like a 2,5 hour movie. I really think that would have been better.
I found the acting stiff and at times it felt awkward. The music is mostly the same but I did like it.
I really did like this drama, but I did rated it low because I have to be honest; the quality of this story and everything isn't that great.
This drama is something for you if you like easy romance and fanfictions. It is easy to follow, got some romance and vampires (and that is always good imo, haha).

You are going to choose and there is no in between. This movie will leave you thinking..
The story is gruesome, horrible and tear-jerking, and they executed this amazingly. I am so happy I saw this movie! You'll het sucked into the movie within the first 15 minutes. It's a story that (sadly) happens all over the world. This movie gives you the conflict and dilemma to think about. But you also see that this conflict and dilemma is thought about by the other characters in this movie.
The actors were amazing, especially Jung Jae young. This man is a fucking god. He made me cry, he made me sit on the edge of my seat, he made me even say "oh my god". He is a genius and he totally moved me in this movie!
The music was well chosen, there are a few parts without music, but you barely notice because you are in such of a conflict with yourself during this movie.
If you are doubting to watch this movie; please don't and just watch it! It has got a great story, they executed this so well and this will be worth your time!!

The mansions, the little decorative things on the set and the costumes. This all is already luring you in this movie. The actor's were nice, but they could have been better I think. I did like the expressions Sebastian made and he always kept his cool. On the other hand Kiyoharu not, sometimes I was a litte confused about this character. But overall they acted well and they sucked me into the story.
If you've seen the anime or manga this movie might dissapoint you but if you didn't you'll sure to like this movie.
They portreyed the story good and I felt there was never a dull moment in this movie. I loved the action parts; they were very well executed and didn't look too fake at all. Also they managed to keep a mysterious vibe in the movie and there were some plot twists.
The music is the best part in this movie. It was perfect. They fitted every scene and when you'll see it in combination with the music you will get in that mysterious vibe.
So you should watch this if you like a fighting scenes, plot twists and a good story.

But this drama is worth your time! Because the acting is amazing! I fell in love with all the actors and how well Song Hye Kyo portrayed the blind Oh Yound. I even fell in love with the bad guys! The chemistry felt so real, they have chosen the right actors for the roles.
Also the music, it really sets the tone and they fitted well with every scene. Sometimes it was a little bit to much of the same song in one episode, but that's personal.
I think I wouln'd rewatch this soon because of the dragging at the end, it was bothering, but that can be personal n_n.
Very well, watch this drama if you're in for some romance, little laughs, bits of action and a quite good story.

It has a unique story, which they executed really good. They managed to give you a story, and twist the story, and twist it again and again. Some things were predictable, even though I had to guess loads in my head. So this isn't movie you'll watch completely brainless, no this movie will make your brain work haha!
The acting was great, I loved the two main leads. They portrayed their characters greatly and I especially Ninomiya. How he did this was amazing and I am going to watch more of him!
The music fitted every scene and complimented the movie.
This is for anyone who likes plot twist, little bit of action, a great logical story and I think anyone can watch this movie!

They story is not anything new, but I loved the way the executed this movie, and it really stands out. You get sucked in the first seconds you watch this movie. There is NEVER a dull moment! So in the 2 hours you'll be guessing, sitting on the tip of your chair and you might encourage some characters.
The acting was amazing, the fact that they could suck me in from the first till the last seconds is very good! I thought everyone precisely fitted their character.
The music helps a lot to build up some tension, and I recommend this movie to anyone who likes action, a good story, suspense and tension!

I was amazed how they acted! They were really good and I can't wait for more of some of these actors!
They picked the right music, sometimes it wasn't my taste but that is personal.
I would rewatch this movie and I would recommend it to anyone who like some action, a good story and some suspense!

There are so many horror movies that are lacking story, but not this one! It surprised me, kept me on my toes and I kept questioning my self. The story is very well written and not too predictable! I gave it a 9 because there were to many plot twist near the ending, and I would loved it more if it was throughout the whole movie.
You can question yourself if this is really a horror movie, but if you scare me, than to me it's horror and I jumped up one time, so that was enough for me to count this as a horror movie.
The acting was also great! I loved their emotions and some parts were really hard to act, but you can only understand this when you've watched this movie.
The music was also good, it did build up some tension but not to much.
I would rewatch this movie, because it has a good story, and that is what I like. I also recommend this to people who like horror, love plot twist and likes a good story!

It has a good story that has a lot mystery in it, so you keep wondering and asking. Also this movie never has a dull moment. Or it's packed with action, thrilling scene's or there is some kind of drama going on. And I loved the little twists in the movie!
The acting was very good, and especially from Ikuta Toma! I was really surprised about his acting skills (and body, just kidding)!!! He didn't had many lines in this movie, but he made this film is own!
But in little ways this movie lacks some information about the extra characters, I'd liked the story more when there was more information, but this might killed the mystique part in the movie.
Overall a movie with action and some drama that is worth your time to watch!

The story is really weird, and it lacks loads of information. And acctualy is hasn't a good story at all.
The acting is avarage, but didn't keep me that entertained.
There is hardly any music in this movie, and if it is there it is not good music, but that depends on your own taste of music.
I would never rewatch this movie because it is a waste of time..
