For a viewer that looks for relatable and realistic patterns in movies, most of the good stuff is in the beginning. Even though I had to accept that only three people out of hundreds if not thousands decided to stay safely indoors for a zombie apocalypse, the rest of human interactions either mean Koreans behave very anti-socially on bad days or all the drama was forced. Make of it what you will, but I really don't know which is worse.
How does the fat guy open a door that only opens outward? His bones, joints and muscles would've been broken before such a door would've let loose even a bit.
How does a zombie fireman pull a table via a rope so hard it knocks a girl out by hitting her hip? How does he climb up a wall using the said skinny rope? Thin ropes have very little surface area to grab onto and gravity actually does pull a man, especially a toned firefighter, pretty hard.
How does the helicopter appear in the final scene? The heroes didn't hear it coming before it was 20-30 meters away behind them. Helicopters can be heard from much, much further away. Also it was flying upwards from a yard below surrounded by buildings. It would've had to have landed there or hovered for quite a while.
Like that, you'll find little cause and effect from #Alive. The rest is just forced drama. It's built from events with no prior preparation, no reason for something to happen. No cause. Thus this isn't a clever movie by any stretch of the imagination. Which it could've been if it just tried.
Worth watching? No. Worth wasting your time on? Yes.
