Hong Kong’s historic first radiation disaster blockbuster! After a fire accident triggers a radiation leakage, the entire city suddenly finds its survival hanging by a thread. In order to tackle the impending catastrophe, expert Simon Fan (played by Andy Lau) joins the emergency crisis response team led by Acting Chief Executive Cecilia (played by Karen Mok) to tackle this catastrophic disaster. With the lives of 7 million people on the line, the fire brigade is tasked with stopping the spread at all costs by entering the radiation zone. Facing this unprecedented calamity, will Hong Kong wake up to an overnight annihilation?
I found out this Chinese movie is playing right at the theater near my college, what a surprise! So, of course, I had to watch it!
Cesium Fallout has a super engaging plot that keeps you focused the entire time. If I were holding a stuffed animal, every time I felt nervous or anticipated about what would happen next, I'd squeeze it so much I'd probably have sore muscle the next day. That's how intense and gripping the plot is. You're hooked from start to finish.
The visuals and sound effects are really well done, making everything feel relatable and believable. The balance between the firefighter storyline and the political storyline is also spot on, and the way the two lines are connected, not just independent plots makes it even better.
Btw, Bai Yu has a charming figure, lol. That scene where he takes the cellphone from Simone's hand while standing, he's tall and has a great body and posture. It was a nice little distraction to catch my breath from the intense and emotional story.
