It's been two years since I last attended an advanced movie screening. I still remember it because it was a week before the Enhanced Community Quarantine was implemented and everyone got scared of CoVid news. Bloodshot was the last film that I watched on the big screen.
That's why when I saw that 99.5 Play FM's Screenplay was back, I was excited and I couldn't help but join the giveaway for free movie tickets! And the first stop was the Emergency Declaration.
Two reasons why I was eager to see this Korean disaster-action movie: first, I was hooked on the trailer when it was out earlier this year, and the casting was superb!
I was ready to jump to the moon when I was chosen as the winner of their morning show giveaway. Yay! Thank you, DJ Stan, Jazz, Play FM, fake news, and hotdog museum!
The advanced screening was held last August 26 at Cinema 3 in Robinson's Galleria, where Viva International Pictures was the official distributor.

| The movie ticket looked like a boarding pass! Nice! |
Yours truly and my companion were asked to have a photo taken by the Kuya photographer before the movie started.

| Huli cam! Hahaha... |
I will not spoil what the film was about and what happened, but rather I will focus on each actor who played a major key to the success of the heart-stopping Emergency Declaration.
*Song Kang-ho: He played a sergeant here.

As a detective, he portrayed more than I expected. He was very smart and persistent. I applauded him for his unforgettable sacrifice.
*Lee Byung-hun: He was one of the passengers.

He has a good backstory, and I was truly satisfied with what he did towards the end. Hands down, the enormous responsibility and quick thinking!
*Jeon Do-yeon: Minister Sook-hee

She was the one who was given the hardest decision-making and yet, she made a quick response with flying colors!
*Kim So-jin: She was probably the head of the Flight Attendants.

I liked her and how collected she was during the turbulence and the situation should be what a flight attendant is.
*Park hae-joon: Tae-su, the Crisis Management director

He was there all the time when the disaster and decision-making were in progress, yet his character was lackluster. I felt disappointed because I know this actor is very talented.
*Im Siwan: He was one of the passengers.

I honestly heard about Siwan because he is very popular, but it was my first time seeing him act. And, oh boy! He was totally an amazing actor, especially since he did so well with his character!
*Kim Nam-gil: He was one of the pilots.

I would be very biased, but I am really a fan of Nam-gil, and witnessing him as a pilot was one for the books!
Verdict:

As a travel enthusiast who rides airplanes, this movie definitely hit a spot for me. I admired flight attendants and pilots more because of how hard they needed to make quick decisions for their passengers. They always decide for the betterment and safety of most people. And the government doesn't have the power to change the pilot's final resolve.
There is more than a disaster story with the Emergency Declaration and you should definitely unravel it on August 31! Go see it for yourself!
