Hello. I'm a casual enjoyer of Korean Movies since 2015 👋🏻
This month, i got a chance to watch The Moon exclusively on fans screening in Indonesia, August 5th.
For me this movie is beyond my expectation. The cinematography is excellent. The CG of spaceships, moon, and blank space is wayy much better than other Korean Movies that has kind of same genre of natural disasters.
Main Actor, Doh Kyungsoo played his role in a brilliant way. He can switch emotions in such a brief second and whole performance like walking in the moon is soo realistic. I'm quite surprised that he was debuted as an Idol, not an actor in 2012. As far as I know, in Korea there's a stereotype that Idol-Actor will never be as good as debuted actors since the start. However, Doh-nim surely breaks that stereotype and showing his full potential in this movie as an Acting Genius Idol-Actor.
The director, Kim Yong Hwa, is very considerate by showing the backstory of all main characters, makin us relates and understand more. All the drama until the nerve-wracking scene makes enjoy and happy seeing this wonderful movie. However, this movie has some unrealistic realisation of space, but still not making this movie less enjoyable as I keep in mind "this is fictional"
Overall The Moon deserved a bunch of attention. Especially those of you guys who likes the story about space and movie with great amount of tension. I recommend you to watch this with friends or date on 4DX or IMAX for better experience
I found it quite funny how the crowd on the studio holding hands with their partner on the kind like "fast and furious" scene.
