I just finished watching Train to Busan and I can say it's a pretty good movie.

Even though you may find some cliche ideas, the way the director made the movie it's really interesting. I wanted the supporting roles to have more depth, but overall the actors did a great job.

It's interesting to see how fear can change people and bring either the best or the worst in them. I think this is why the movie feels more real than others. Another plus for the movie is the evolution of the main character, Seok Woo. Even though at first he's selfish and self-centered, when his daughter's life is in danger (this is not a spoiler, you can see that even on the poster) he transforms into a courageous, selfless guy.

You get absorbed into the action from the start and it is unpredictable sometimes. It is one of the best movies I've seen in a while and I like the fact that the zombies can move fast - like running speed. This kept me on the edge of my seat a few times. At the end of the movie I kept asking myself what would I do if I were in that train - hopefully I'll never have to find out.

Even though the make-up is spot on and the actors can twist their bodies in very unnatural positions, I think the biggest minus to this movie is the CGI: sometimes it looks too 2D (I hope you'll understand this, I don't know how to put it) and it can be kind of funny. This is why you can't focus anymore on the dramatic action because you feel the urge to laugh seeing the bad CGI.

Overall I recommend this movie! I'm happy to see it's getting so much international attention ^_^
