Overall, I think it's a neat concept, although perhaps a little too farfetched for my liking. The casting, so far as I can tell is a disappointment. I mean really, Jesse McCartney!?!?! But what bothers me to an extent about the film is that it is making a profit off a disaster that has permanently altered an entire region. People have to remember that Chernobyl isn't just an abandoned city in the northern Ukraine, it's also a grave for many people. Although only 31 people died immediately from radiation exposure, most experts believe there have been at least 25,000 excess cancer deaths in the region as a direct result of the disaster. I look forward to your intelligent replies.
Nothing more tasteless about it than James Cameron's Titanic.
