This movie should not be called an adaptation.
Absolute garbage of an adaptation. The fanfics writers can write a better adaptation script than whatever this production's writers did. I can list so many things that is wrong with this movie and English is not even my first language.First of all - the adaptation itself. Rather than calling this an adaptation, this should be labelled as inspired by ORV. The characters are OOC and the world building isn't even the same. Where's the constellations? Where's my Uriel?! What's the point of the star stream with just dokkaebis and no sponsors?? The dokkaebis doesn't even appear much, minds you. I've read that someone said that this is literally alien train to Busan and I couldn't agree more.
Second of all - the actors itself. No shade for the actors but damn the lines sounds soulless. Maybe it's the problem from the script itself so that's not really their fault. But you can definitely see that most of the budgets went to hiring the cast instead. I rather they hire unknown actors to save the budgets and focus more on improving everything else when making this.
Lastly - the CGI. Oh my god, I thought it was AI at first. It was that bad. Though, I will blame it on the budget because I know that the VFX artists didn't get enough pay to do this shit. Although, if I don't know this is an adaptation, I would watch this garbage based on the action/fantasy/apocalypse genre alone. Yeah, I am that starved but you can see how much of a slop this adaptation is.
Well, that's all I can think of when writing this. I think I have more but as I write, the rage makes me forgot the contents that I want to add here. Thanks for reading my ranting and I think if you bothered to read all of this, maybe you should read the original ORV novel or manga instead of watching this movie. Unless you don't mind horrible storyline and massive amounts of plot holes (and all that I complained above) then it's your poison. hands-up.jpg
