POSITIVES
Love the gonzo premise for this mix-genre movie, which gives us robots, aliens, monsters, time travel, wire-fu, guns, magic, spaceships, plus so much more.
The plot goes into many directions and I actually appreciate it for that, as it kept me on my toes into wondering where else this movie was going to go. Needless to say, I got invested pretty fast.
Action sequences are pretty entertaining to watch, and have some nice creative ideas into the fight choreography.
Main actors are all top notch here playing their characters, so shout-out to Kim Woo-bin, Ryu Jun-yeol, Choi Yu-ri, Kim Tae-ri, Yum Jung-ah, Jo Woo-jin, Shin Jung-geun, Lee Si-hoon, and Kim Dae-myung as the voice of Thunder.
Sometimes you want to just watch a movie that is pure genre action-adventuring with cool characters and a fascinating narrative, that doesn’t necessarily have to say too much thematically. That’s what you get with this, so just join the ride with wanton abandonment.
NEGATIVES
What is this? A Netflix TV show season that’s compressed into a 142 minutes movie? That’s seriously what it felt like.
Honestly, the narrative can be a little bit all over the place, with nonsensical elements to further compound things. This might just turn some people off, or just overwhelmingly confuse them.
Some basic and familiar plot tropes plus typical conveniences do show up here, which lend to some rather conventional story directions.
I kinda wished the villains of this story were more fleshed out, than just being there to serve the plot.
The way this movie concludes may not satisfy you.
