The Unthinkable

This is a bit of a mixed genre film, part romance, part action thriller, and both parts are done well, and work ok togethor. But there is a feeling if it had picked one or the other, and gone for it, the result might have been better. The acting is good, the set piece action is well done, but the script is a bit all over the place. Intriguing, and worth a watch, but it doesn't completely work.

Had no idea what the movie would be about so my expectations were none, but I was pleasantly surprised!

The love story falls a bit flat, and so does some of the acting (tragically mainly by the main characters), but for me the movie wasn't about the love story, but about how Sweden would handle a disaster. I'm not pro military, so I was surprised of how invested I was in the plot, and how uneasy and scared I felt watching this. I also think it really captures that realistic essence and atmosphere which I think Hollywood movies almost always lack. Since I don't know much about the military though, I can't speak for how much was ACTUALLY realistic in actions etc.

The soundtrack was not memorable in melody, but enhanced the movie experience a lot! It reminded me of the Interstellar soundtrack that I think is amazing.

The CGI is amazing. I never questioned it and didn't even reflect on it until I read the reviews here.

In short: great film that really targets that unsettling-nerve.

This movie has left me speechles,and I have discussed it for whole day. It is two movies in one:catastrophy movie and family drama. Both are perfectly scripted,and each one adds to other.

The gloomy atmosphere of being attacked by unknown force is probably close what people felt during events such as Chernobyl or WTC attacks. It reminds me of Russian TV series Outpost I have watched recently.

Another aspect of a movie us a family drama. Every character is right,and yet,they can not get together in the most simplest form. And after some tragic events,who is to blame? What if I did this,or that...the questions echo until the very end.

To me,this is a masterpiece worth watching and discovering its subleties one by one.

Saw a bunch of really great reviews on this movie and was hyped about it because the premise seemed cool.

Couldn't be more disappointed. It's slow as hell, insanely unrealistic action scenes. No real answers about what's _going on_ in the movie basically and a very underwhelming and predictable ending.

A bit disjointed. Too sentimental. Too drawn out (cut the first thirty minutes and the last thirty minutes, and you wouldn't miss much). No real sympathetic characters. Implausible premise. But it was exciting to watch.
