A sci-fi movie with huge potential.

A sci-fi movie with huge potential.

Honestly, this movie was way too amazing for a 7.3 rating. The acting was phenomenal, especially from Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, and Jung Ho Yeon. They played their roles incredibly well, and the rest of the cast did a great job too.

The CGI was surprisingly good. There were a few short scenes, maybe five or six seconds long, where the CGI was obviously noticeable, especially with the platforms and the creatures. However, the rest was incredibly well done. It was crisp, realistic, and almost Marvel-level quality. Most of the time, you couldn't even tell that the creatures were computer-generated.

Story-wise, I can understand why some people might not like it. A lot of information is missing, and plenty of things still need explaining. If this were supposed to be a standalone movie, then yeah, the story would be pretty bad. But it's clear that this is just the opening chapter of something much bigger, probably a trilogy or even four movies. If you look at it as an introduction to an entire series, it makes much more sense.

And the black comedy? Holy shit, it was fucking hilarious. The characters could literally be on the verge of death and still come out with the funniest lines. The scene with the old guy explaining how he couldn't hold his shit absolutely killed me. The humor was so damn good.

Overall, this is an amazing movie with great acting, impressive CGI, and some genuinely hilarious moments. Sure, it leaves a lot of unanswered questions, but I think that's intentional. It feels like the first installment of a much bigger story, so let's wait and see what comes next.

I highly recommend watching it. It has a lot of potential, and if the next movies build on what this one has established, we could be in for something really special.
