Separados pelas Estrelas

This film is suitable for those of you who are looking to relieve stress with a sweet romance story.

The movie brings us an unlikely relationship between people from different worlds. It shows how love can be complicated, and dreams can only make it more difficult. However, it also shows how that connection is hard to find and impossible to give up on. It is a beautiful love story which shows careers are important too, but knowing someone out there loves you in a way nobody else could is what shines through. The animation is beautiful, the music complements every scene, and the emotional rollercoaster keeps you wanting to watch more.

They said it's the first Korean animated film, so I lowered my expectations a little, but man, it exceeded them so much. This film is so beautiful. The places in the film look real. There are parts that are heartwrenching, so I cried while watching it. I can't describe the feelings after watching it because they linger. The OST is also good.

Good job to the director; you did it so well, even though you tried a different approach-one that is not common or conventional. Now I understand why you took the risk of hiring actors instead of voice actors this time.

All I can say is it's worth watching, and I'm thinking of rewatching it.

Some films entertain you, some impress you with visuals, and then there are those rare few that stay with you. They sit quietly in your heart long after the credits roll. This film belongs in that rare category. It's not just about love-though love is there, beautifully so-it's about something deeper. It's about the invisible threads that connect us. It's about unspoken moments, the kinds that don't need grand gestures or poetic words to feel meaningful.

From the very first scene, I found myself drawn into a world that felt both familiar and brand new. The way the story unfolded felt effortless, yet you could tell every detail was crafted with intention. The silence between lines said just as much as the dialogue, and the pauses? They were full of life. Of feeling. Of truth.

This film isn't loud or flashy. It doesn't shout its message-it whispers it gently, with sincerity and heart. It reminded me of the beauty of subtlety, of how the smallest glances and quietest words can carry the heaviest emotions. There were moments I forgot I was watching a film at all-I felt like I was simply feeling alongside the characters. Their joy became mine. Their pain... I carried it with me.

What touched me the most was how universally human the story felt.

The movie wanted to be both romance and sci-fi, and ended up... Neither?

Well, kind of. In terms of romance it's not bad, but there is no real challenge for the relationship, there is no "messiness" or some "adversary" here, so it's not particularly interesting. Characters do develop a little bit after they meet each other, yes, but it's superficial. The only "obstacle" appears when the girl is, predictably, selected to go into space, and the guy just acts as a selfish child who just realized, that the girl he fell for had "going to space" as her job description and life goal.

The sci-fi portion was... As if it was not there for the most part. There psychological aspects of losing her mother were limited to some flashes, not really linked to anything and were, essentially abandoned half way through. Then the girl did go to space, and there was that perfect moment to build proper tension, that could have used her psychological state and bring in the "discovery" (which did not make sense, since these kinds of flowers are unlikely to grow that much within 20 years without any light), but...

They ruined it by turning it into a music video mash-up with what was happening on Earth and had very loose connection to happenings on Mars even if you consider symbolism. And they did not even bother to make a full song - just some bits and pieces of it. Let alone that it did not match anything else happening on screen. Then they abandoned sci-fi again by some walkie talkie being able to transmit between planets without delay, even though earlier they mentioned that some special equipment was able to have delay of "just 20 minutes".

It's not a bad watch, in the end, but it felt purposeless somehow, and did not land anywhere. I did not feel any impact at all. Perhaps if this was a TV show, and they had more time... But on the other hand there was almost nothing besides the 2 characters... I dunno, I guess if you like those romcoms from Hallmark, you may be able to enjoy this, but otherwise, you probably can save some time by ignoring this.

This movie has incredibly beautiful animation and visuals! Each shot is breathtaking . Man, animation as a medium is just unmatched! You can tell the artists put in so much love here and the result is absolutely fantastic.

The two leads have such amazing chemistry and the premise is really interesting. Sure it can be a bit cliche at times but who cares? This is emotional storytelling at its best! I was not expecting to be so emotionally moved by the whole experience yet here we are.

I'm not usually into movies like this but......wow....this one hit different! It was definitely worth my time.
