Being Engineer, I think Power Generators should be located at height & backwards ( not sea facing ).
May save the Blast which happened at Nuclear Site in Fukushima in 2011 duebto Tsunami.
Surprisingly, the movie has no pre-disaster story about a random family, lovers, or civilians. It starts by providing all the attention to the incident, like a documentary with a clear timeline.
If you're familiar with the Japanese culture, you will not say the movie is full of overacting & chaotic screams, cause there are none. The discipline of the plant employees and their sense of responsibility implied throughout the movie is heartwarming.
As we get to hear, it was a disaster that happened due to underestimating nature. But the effort they take to prevent it from happening feels real. Those people who actually worked in the plant are heroes.
The acting is fine, realistic. If you could live in there for 2 hours, you'll feel your tears streaming down at some point in the movie.

A sobering view of the disaster, and a reminder of what happened to the people there and what they did. Well-produced throughout, and with good acting from all. There is a little family drama but it is not overdone and fits the situation. It's very interesting to see the Japanese culture and approach to the events.
( there been people making multiple accounts rating bombing negative review on this site... no reason to care anymore rate like or neg reviews people do this to make a statement their own person basis(s)) to them its a game.
................. When this happened, it was unreal. Nothing in my years have experienced could help me better understand this. The earth quack was first. But after the meltdown everyone in Tokyo was told the radiation clouds winds hit us. There was no escape. But as the winds changed it was then safe. This movie is low budget, but does that matter? No, what is the people that gave their self's to help stop this. Its just not the 50 but the 10,000s that hurt by the fallout. What sad is this current virus prevented this movie to get this respect it should get. Its a must see. Thank you.

A movie to see if we want to know more about the disaster of fukushima but the acting is a disaster except for Ken Watanabe.
You should know that this film which is based on a book is very criticized by the Japanese because the reality was much more consensual than the film claims to show the viewer.
