There is still quite a lot of practical effects on display in The Tower but the blend of them with their CGI counterparts all work well together. It should be noted that fire and water are two elements that CGI has often had trouble duplicating in the past – often looking very cartoony – but director Kim Ji-hoon spent two years on the post-production effects to ensure it all looks great and one will hind it hard to argue with the result. Back in the day Irwin Allen and company had to do much of this type of action with practical effects, now, with the aid of CGI effects, you can get an even more dramatic fire and stunts with a lesser chance of injuring a stuntman. Things go bad rather quickly when the feared high winds sends a helicopter careening into one of the twin towers of the 120 story structure – its aviation fuel causes an insane conflagration that the firefighters have almost no chance of putting out – and those trapped inside have very little chance of getting out.

Also on board for this night of fun is a maid trying to earn enough money for her son’s tuition, a comic-relief cook trying to propose to the girl of his dreams, and the fire chief ( Sung-kee Ahn) who gave up his first Christmas off with his wife to battle this blaze. The Tower spends the perfect amount of time setting up our soon to be endangered characters there is Lee Dae-ho ( Sang-kyung Kim) a single dad who is one of the buildings many managers with his job dealing with building maintenance, we have his daughter the spunky and precocious Ha-na who would like to see her dad get attached, in the running for that position is Seo Yoon-hee ( Ye-jin Son) the buildings restaurant manager who clearly likes the handsome but shy Dae-ho. This is why movies like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 don’t work because at no point do we give a damn if the protagonist lives or dies.
