Jung_E

So JUNG_E has some very exciting action and some great visuals, a great lead performance from Kang Soo-yeon, (Rest in peace). The film is clearly taking inspiration from other Si-Fi futuristic movies such as Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, and I Robot. So the inspiration shown is very interesting to see but the film doesn't live up to those expectations at all as the story is pretty forgettable and feels like we've seen the film a hundred times before. There's also some annoying characters here such as the director played by Ryu Kyung-soo. So cool action and visuals but forgettable story 5/10.

I'm completely baffled by all the horrible reviews. Did those reviewers even watch the same movie I watched? Is this the best sci-fi I've ever watched? No. But it's pretty decent. The visuals are fantastic. The CGI is convincing. The acting is solid. The storyline is bittersweet and, in some ways, unusual. This is a far-future robot AI sci-fi that has the love between a daughter and her mother at it's core, with no romance (refreshing!). Yes, there are some plot holes. For example, why are they working so hard to make a combat AI robot who keeps failing in simulation when the police AI that society already possesses is so advanced? Still, it doesn't deserve such atrocious reviews and I hope you won't let yourself be put off from trying it.

I haven't seen a well made sci-fi/dystopian/futuristic in quite awhile.

I hesitated and skipped over this movie 7 or 8 times before I watched it. I went in with expectation of shoddy special effects or with so many special effects it lacked depth. I was WRONG.

This movie is a gem.

For me, this movie has a great balance of heart,depth, and action.

Unlike so many recent Hollywood movies it gave me that nice balance.

The acting was good, and I have watched and thoroughly enjoyed subtitled movies, and independent movies over most productions made in Hollywood.

For a movie made in Korea, I was FLOORED, by how good it was.

Seriously folks, Hollywood and the U. S. no longer seems to represent or even have a clue, as to what I want to be entertained with anymore.!! If you are in that same fringe demographic as I am, you'll love this too.

Beware: if you want to watch this movie for a dosis of pure robots and action, you need to know this is not an action movie. It presents the drama revolving around a dystopian future where technology is used in unethical ways to serve big corporation and military complex purposes. Even it falls short in developing the characters and middle story, making it dull and slow at times, It excels at showing how the future would look like if the advancements in technology lead us away from our humanity. If you have the patience, i would recommend this movie for a dosis of some amazing key components about what awaits us if we remain unaware. A must watch if you enjoy cyberpunk genere.

Soon to be cult classic South Korean Sci-Fi where once again corporate thuggery is at work, taking advantage of the earth's depleting and chaotic system. This time dealing with Combat AIs injected with a high level brain function from a deceased woman soldier, who happens to be a mother to one of the chief scientists working on the project (only in Korean movies)! This connection creates the emotional bond between robot and human, giving this movie a surprising depth that has you cheering them all the way.

The action scenes are a gamers joy, and handled well without being too convoluted, like most movies where one never knows what the heck is going on. Production value is high, and the pristine quality cinematography a bonus.

This little gem of a soon to be cult classic is a grand send-off to Kang Soo-youn, with her top-notch subdued performance as the chief scientist, Soehyun.

So gather your nerdy friends, find a big screen, and give it a midnight screening!
