Glad I found this movie on Netflix. It's a nice calming, soothing movie with straight to the point scenes. The story is simple but it engages you very well. The theme of the movie is intense but at the same time calming and soothing. Very well made movie. The casting has been done in such a way that the characters match themselves in a very suitable way. The world has changed after the Pandemic. We people of this earth need to change and have basic sense among ourselves to protect our earth and the oceans.

Coming back to the movie, special appreciation to the director and the entire crew for a well made movie.

The SARS outbreak happened 20 years ago and it was similar to COVID in that it happened suddenly and was highly infectious. This movie will probably remind people of how it was when the COVID pandemic just started. Everything was chaotic and the medical field had the most responsibility, this people who worked in hospitals especially had the most difficult time.

This movie had some emotional scenes which nearly brought me to tears. I think the cast did an excellent job and it showed the different sides of medical professionals. I liked the pacing too and honestly the ending didn't disappoint me. Instead I was relieved that it was somewhat of an open ending.

When I watched this film, I didn't see the trailer or read the movie description. I went in with the expectation that it might be a current affairs discussion related to COVID-19. To my surprise, the moment I saw the characters using old-style mobile phones, I knew it was going to be a story about the tragic events at a Taiwanese hospital during the SARS outbreak over a decade ago.

Honestly, a single movie can't cover everything, and it can't delve into the depth and poignancy of each individual story the way a short series like 'Hoping' did. 'Eye of the Storm' seems to focus more on the discussion of responsibility. Career choices and job positions are individual decisions and perceptions, but society relies on the functioning of many roles. So, from the beginning, Wang Bojie's portrayal of Dr. Xia becomes the central axis of the entire film. The ending also echoes the sacrifices made by this central character.

I recommend watching this film and appreciating the contributions of the many real-life heroes in our society.

I'm not sure what people expect of this movie... but what I got from it is an accurate portrayal of a hospital in lockdown mode when and outbreak of SARS occurred in Taiwan. This isn't a fairy tale and it doesn't pull punches. There are no "mask controversies" here, no fake news (at least, not once the outbreak was confirmed), and no sugar-coating.

This is full-bore contagion situation, with just the right amount of drama added by portraying the frenzied efforts of exhausted and under-staffed hospital workers, scared and selfish people objecting to the lockdown, and the lives of key individuals as they adapt to the reality of a fairly unknown and deadly disease.

Don't go into this expecting sunshine and picket fences. This is one of the most realistic movies I've seen of such a situation.

This film mimics the confusing emotions everyone around the world experienced in the early days pf the covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this film was to show the sacrifices healthcare workers as part of their job so it would've been better served as a documentary.
