Ain't no way that's how they write it
Gosh, what a terrible story execution. The story was so lackluster, there are no likable character, and the death was so dumb it pisses you off
They bring out such an amazing cast, they have great production value, the idea and concept is great, i don't know what makes the storyline feel so lackluster, but it just is. There are a couple of complain i have, first of all there are too many character that there are no depth whatsover to them, you could cut a couple of them, the main character se jong, she was written as this anti social person that didn't mixed well with other people, she is the main character, but like there is literally no stake for the character, her ex husband is dead by like the first 30 minutes of the movie, this movie was from the creator of train to busan so i expected something more emotionally touching, but you cannot do that if your main character is so detached, the people that she could have some kind of affection at least is dead by like the first minute of the main story and there is no way they could bond with the other survivor, everything happening around is just sort of written so that she could reach the conclusion of the story, but like it doesn't work because she doesn't feel connected to the other character, which they have a lot of them. Like she could bond with the bullied girls since they both were sort of outsider, she could bond with the sister's character, she could bond with jcw character somehow whatever, but noo, they were just become this people standing around her, waiting for the plot to happen to kill them. They were trying to give JCW character some kind of plot, but that too felt somewhat flat, i did felt bad when the sister's died, but then they makes his character go on a rampant (?), like what?, that so out of the blue.
And the at the end it feels like they were trying to force a sort of commentary about how society being so herd-minded is awful, i mean i get that but like, that's just feels so spiteful and cynical after they killed the good natured people in like the dumbest way and without even letting anything marinate so we could feel sad for them. Good and bad people could just die without so much of me even batting an eye, the main character didn't have any kind of character development and at the end it just revert back to the conclusion that she doesn't need development. It just feels like they were trying too hard to be edgy for me.
Well, they have great action sequence because they obviously have the budget, the sound design is pretty good. The movie itself is a spectacle if you didn't consider about how awful the story is, it could be a good horror movie to watch mindlessly, but other than that, it's definitely not for me
