This environmental thriller is nuclear-level bang for your buck -- big, unsubtle entertainment.

Cesium Fallout bombards its audience with a cacophony of mindless destruction and muddled messaging, yet somehow fails to illustrate just what it is that these individuals are so courageously fighting for.

3.5/5

Billed as Hong Kong cinema’s first nuclear radiation disaster blockbuster, Cesium Fallout is a mega-budget ensemble drama that just about survives its flimsy set-up to offer an engaging hypothetical scenario of how such a crisis could be handled.

Rare disaster movie from Hong Kong but very good! Certain scenes have slow pace but only a few and not too long. Recommended.

Cesium Fallout is a well made movie. It is fictional, but every detail is plausible. Emotions are high throughout with very convincing delivery. It is also a timely movie to remind us of the environmental threats humans create for ourselves.
