Intense Train action!

Rating: 10/10 (15 September 2016)

A lot of my fellow countrymen (Philippines) have been talking about this movie. Every site I go, it's literally filled with Train to Busan story, memes etc. I was planning to watch it anyways but I was so busy with school. Finally, I had the time to go to the theater to watch it, and now I'm reviewing it.
Story: 8
The story of Train to Busan is basically just surviving the train ride. There wasn't really much of an explanation on how the infection started, but it's all good. The story revolves around Soo- an and her dad, and later with the other passengers. The story progression was decent. It was intense, calm, thrilling and emotional when it needed to be. Very well done.
Cinematography: 10
It was visually amazing. The effects on the zombie chase/battle, the blood, the look of the zombies, the camera angles- they were all really good! I saw a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube and I was amazed. I really liked the camera angles! The acting of the actors and actresses was also something to behold.
Sound: 10
This goes hand-in-hand with the cinematography. It was also intense, calm, thrilling and emotional when it needed. The sound effects were properly utilized and meshed together. The emotions that the characters feel can also be felt through their voices.
Characterization: 9
All the characters were interesting (even that evil CEO/COO guy). There are many emotions to the characters, and each of them (or each group) have their own way of survival. The character development of the main group (especially Soo-an and her dad) was splendid. I do feel that they killed too many characters ( I wanted Soo-an's dad and the pregnant woman's husband to survive- sorry I'm bad at remembering names) but I guess I just got attached to them.
Overall: 10
I loved this movie. I think the Good Stuff outweighed the Flaws that the movie had. It's not perfect but it was damn near close to it (in my opinion). It didn't scare me, but it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the intense parts, and got my eyes watery in that ending. Overall a very fun and entertaining "train-ride". Definitely worth the hype.
Note: This is my first review. I'm new to this stuff so maybe I just gave this one a 10 due to my enjoyment. Either way, I hope it was helpful. Do check the movie out, it is worth your money and time!
