I saw it on Sunday at MotelX.
This film reports the events in 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, as workers at this facility heroically stayed and avoided an international catastrophe, much greater than Chernobyl, after the massive damages caused by an earthquake, a tsunami and earthquake aftershocks .
It's a good catastrophe film, based on Ryusho Kadota's book "On the Brink: the inside Story of Fukushima Daiichi", where you see Japanese workers' culture, discipline, ethics and responsibility at work, with also some luck and good fortune of fate, avoided the worst, even dealing with idiocy and eagerness for protagonism on the part of political leaders.
It just lacks for being too long with overly mellow finish.
Another thing that bothers me, a litle, is the choice of the soundtrack, namely the famous theme "Danny Boy", has nothing to do with the theme, nor with Japanese culture, except for being a beautiful nostalgic, sad and melancholic theme, it sounds out of place in this film . There are definitely nice and suitable Japanese themes, just saying.
But I recommend the movie to anyone who wants more real sense of the events of that day.
