...is very much a disaster film with a touch of extra, so the music is epic in spots and the cinematography shows the disaster loud and clear, while the effects assist everything.

Cinema Crazed
Ashfall isn't terrible, though a long list of other films have done more with the same formula. Given the cast and the budget, the film really should have been better, or at least more fun, and it's hard not to be underwhelmed by the results.

Patently ludicrous but no less enjoyable for it, Ashfall is a rock-solid disaster spectacle bolstered by the savvy star pairing of Lee Byung-hun and Ha Jung-woo as unlikely allies tasked with a borderline impossible mission.

John Berra
Screen International
Against the odds, Ashfall works at a dramatic level, largely thanks to the hard work of its cast and a real sense of commitment to the story that holds no matter how silly things get.

Eye for Film
Ashfall isn't trying to do anything more than entertain viewers.

Film Legacy
Ashfall might be a trope-ridden blockbuster, but it's one with geopolitical significance.

Cinema Escapist
Ashfall does not keep viewers guessing and delivers a message that love can indeed save the day.

Lydia Gan
The New Paper (Singapore)
When the ash settles, what remains on screen is the molten wreckage of a high concept crowd-pleaser that, in its efforts to be everything for everyone, ends up delivering precious little to anyone at all.

James Marsh
South China Morning Post
Atrocious editing and an overly long running time turn Ashfall into a disaster of a disaster movie.

Ashfall is not a masterpiece by any standard, but directors Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byeong-seo managed to create a decent disaster film that is up to standard in every way, from good acting and character-building to a solid storyline and suspense.
