Inspired by the Korean Air F27 hijacking unfold on the 23 january 1971, the movie defenitely keep a tension during most of the acts.

The casting is on the spot and the performances are quite good.

However, as specified at the beginning of the movie, this is freely inspired by the event and lots of sequences are made only for dramatic purposes. The problem with that is the numerous irrational reactions of the passengers wich will probably make you wonder why people are reacting like that.

But the real major problem of this movie, in my opinion, and I noticed that this is often the case with movies produce by Sony, is the CGI.

All the planes shots looks way to fake, especially when you have in mind the Top Gun Maverick shots in mind. I saw more realistic videos from people who play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 maxout in 8K with mods.

Not an awful movie, but could have been way better.

Excellent hijack movie, very well made and well scripted. The plot was based on actual events, though the beginning was a little slow but it ended up with great thrill and intensity. Honestly this is one of the best Korean movies that one wouldn't regret seeing at the cinema, what I like about the movie is its tightly packed without much long drag and unrelated sidelines, unlike a lot of overrated boring flicks flooded with fake reviews and ratings. The actors' were all well acted and the setups were decent. The only issue is the CGI of the planes isn't at the highest quality that looked kind of fake which can be a bit more realistic, and some of the CG shots were a little too fast, but those were only minor flaws that didn't affect the overall integrity.

This movie made me write my first IMDb review, it's THAT GOOD yall.

I really didn't expect anything coming to see it at the cinema. It's honestly one of the best Korean movies I've seen in my entire life. The acting is out of this world, the movie is very immersive & thrilling, beside the main character's', I got to see the side characters's emotions as well which is very rare. It's so well executed and the fact that it's based on a true story blew my mind. I don't know what else to say, just go see it. Best plane hijacking movie ever. Also it's emotional, and it hits deep, prepare to feel the characters' pains as well.

How 'Hijack 1971' builds the tension is freaking crazy. It is gradual and follows a step-by-step manual, and it makes sure that each step is impactful enough. I don't think I've watched this quality of action sequences happening in planes in Korean movies. The CGI effect is satisfactory as well. There are some weaknesses, but they are not about technology itself, but how the director uses it is too outdated. Slow motion right after the bomb exploded is just too cliche and even cringy. Also, there are some tear-jerking soap opera moments that hinders the focus of the audience because the director intends to focus not only on action but also on the story of each character. Even so, I get the intention, and I'm glad that 'Hijack 1971' is not about CGI pew-pew. Because of that story, the movie brings more reality and thus tension and thrill in the end.

It's been a long time since I last felt this good when going to a cinema. I had doubts at first because this movie didn't have that much hype on the internet. Also, there are few screening time slots available. Then I came across some comments that said this movie was more worth watching than Project Silent, so I was curious. I went to check the reviews on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Surprisingly, this movie got less number of reviews, but more positive reactions. I'm glad that I went to watch it, and even watched it twice within a day. It's just that good. This movie makes your heart sob for some people, some in misery, some very noble.

From sk cimes another grttttt movie action suspense and awe and definitely have tears in your eyes by the end Amazing flight science put maverick to shame

In fact maverick who?

Just watch it really amazed at how it started and escalated and to the end I won't spoil ending but it's a very good movie Shame that these sk movies hardly get shown in U. K. apart from capital city cinemas Should be on at every cinema Shows you the depth the courage of these people from Korea and even thou you see why the hijacker did what he did it does not make him a hero as Hollywood would It's shows end of the day it's the persons choices even if bullied there is still no need to be evil. Anyway had to go on a big since know Amazon won't let you review unless it's 600 words plus. Which is daft usually I don't bother no more but for this I had too.

This movie made me write my first review in IMDB It was one of the best movies I've ever seen in this kind of storyline and I can undoubtably say you will not regret watching it You may think it's impossible but at the end you understand that even for one second you didn't take your eyes off the screen.

Every detail has been depicted completely every single actor/actress even the passenger are chosen wisely.

This movie will make you think of the reason for all the things he done and somehow give him the right for being angry and hatful for his own country at the same time you think this is not correct nether the Korea government's neglect nor his work But still this inadvertence is happening in the korea.

Hope everyone see this movie and I'm sure you will absolutely enjoy it.
