I need to vent after wasting 2 hours and 40 minutes of my life on this shit.
I read interviews about the director's vision, the message he was trying to convey, and all that bullshit, and all I can say is that he's a fucking liar. There's absolutely no message or deeper meaning to this movie whatsoever.
1. 10 years for this nonsensical piece of garbage. I read somewhere that the director of this movie considers details important, which is complete bullshit. When the female cop shows up and the chase starts, right after they blow off the monster's foot, if you pay close attention, you'll notice a car with a green cross on it. Well, that same car appears FOUR TIMES during that exact same chase sequence. Sometimes they're supposed to drive past it, but then it doesn't show up behind them; instead, it's suddenly in front of them again. And don't even get me started on the protagonist, whose clothes aren't even dirty or scratched up. Nothing.
2. They should label this movie as a COMEDY because I went into it thinking it was going to be a thriller, but the god-awful humor completely ruins the entire movie. It even ruins the important moments, including the tense ones. I can't believe someone actually read the script and thought that fart and diarrhea jokes would be a good idea in 2026.
3. It makes absolutely no sense that the monster and the aliens have the same level of CGI as The Host from 2006. You're telling me it took them 10 years to make that goddamn monster from Scooby-Doo (2002)? What a fucking joke. You can even see scenes where the CGI stutters and freezes for no apparent reason. The CGI is honestly the funniest thing in the entire movie.
4. The scene where the protagonist gets hit by the monster, goes flying, sees the monster running towards him, reacts by screaming, then dodges it and runs away is genuinely awful. And it's not just because the protagonist can run endlessly without getting tired and is somehow fast enough to escape over and over again, but because they repeat this exact same sequence MORE THAN THREE TIMES. (Zo In Sung, please fire whoever agreed to let you act in this movie.)
Pay attention to this: Zo In Sung's character watches the monster take down a tree with a single punch. Then Zo In Sung gets hit, goes flying, crashes into TWO trees, and falls from several meters up. He gets back up without a scratch. Then he gets hit AGAIN, goes flying AGAIN, crashes into ANOTHER tree AGAIN, and gets back up without a scratch AGAIN. On top of that, he's eventually rescued by the group of hunters, which, in case you don't remember, is the group the protagonist mentions during the first five minutes of the movie.
Anyway, let's keep going. Zo In Sung gets rescued, then casually rides a horse without any problems. He's the last survivor of the two hunting groups, only to end up dying as comic relief. Zo In Sung, PLEASE, fire whoever agreed to let you be part of this piece of garbage.
5. And don't even get me started on the medical examiner. The moment I heard the actress's voice, I knew exactly who it was, and I immediately realized that this wasn't going to be a serious or important scene, but another fucking comedy bit. She literally touches the monster and cuts it wide open, only to say, "It's not a species we're familiar with." Seriously??? You couldn't figure that out just by looking at it and seeing that you couldn't even cut through its skin???
And another thing: the guy the protagonist shot, along with the old man with the bow... well, you'll just have to use your imagination because they never show them again. Maybe they died, maybe they survived, or maybe they went home and cooked dinner for their families. Who the hell knows?
6. If I told you that you could cut an entire hour out of this movie and still not lose any important information, you'd probably call me exaggerating. But if you actually watch it, you'll understand. The movie is so full of filler that the chase and action scenes feel absolutely endless. And there's so much pointless padding that it's made even worse by the god-awful humor from whoever the hell wrote this script.
7. I honestly have no words for the last 15 minutes. It's just complete nonsense, and I sincerely, REALLY hope this movie never gets a sequel.
