I think that the feeling of tension and fear are good. I think this movie is not difficult and is plain. The CG technology is solid and it's very scary. This movie is powerful generally. I thought that the courage of people was splendid. I think that you can enjoy this movie very much..

I do not understand Mike’s post well. This movie’s story is a little impossible. This movie’s story is very simple, so some people may be bored by the shallow story. also, the way people die is pitiful.

Impression

Good points

I was surprised twice, once at the middle stage and again at the last, and I was able to enjoy it. I was able to enjoy this movie’s idea and development. I watched while expecting various possibilities, but I was surprised at an unexpected development. There was a hint, but I was not able to readily notice it.
