Actually in the movie it is the present. Which would also be the past if you look at it from "reality". So as always: no pun intended. I would need to go back and write that in all my reviews. I watched both movies (the sequel and the original that is) at a Film Festival.
And it is the best setting to watch a movie like this. I reckon if you can: watch it in a cinema. And maybe (re)watch the first movie. There is a recap at the beginning, but if you have it freshly watched, if does make sense. The tone is all over the place (like the movie itself) ... being funny and serious at the same time sometimes ... there are consequences and you have a real threat to humanity here ... which is why the movie either works or breaks for you. Action scenes are really well made and the CGI is also nice ... but is that enough? You decide ... just don't let earth down ...

I found the 1st one being generic and a bit boring, but I watched this sequel anyway.
To my surprise, it is way better than the 1st one. Everything works just fine for me and the way they manage to connect all the characters and stories together in the finale is pretty impressive.
U will need to watch the 1st one, in order to fully enjoy this 2nd latest sequel. Ignore about the bad gossip of Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So Hee, bcos i don wanna it to spoil my movie experience.
Overall, it has average or above average quality, definitely not a bad production or B movie. Still holding the good reputation of korean film industry.

The film's strengths lie in its visual effects and creativity. The futuristic and historical elements are visually stunning, with a good balance between CGI and practical effects. The action sequences are dynamic and well-choreographed, keeping the audience engaged throughout the film. However, the film's intricate plot, which combines multiple timelines and a variety of characters, might be challenging for viewers who are not familiar with the first movie. The pacing can be uneven at times, with certain segments feeling rushed while others drag on a bit too long. This sequel relies heavily on the groundwork laid in the first installment, so it's not very accessible to newcomers. The performances are solid, with the cast delivering engaging portrayals of their complex characters. The film also explores some interesting themes about destiny, free will, and the impact of technology on society, though these are sometimes overshadowed by the sheer volume of the plot.

Alienoid: Return to the Future is an ambitious sequel that combines sci-fi action with intricate time-travel elements. My experience watching it was a whirlwind of excitement and confusion, as the film's fast-paced narrative often felt overwhelming.
The visuals are stunning, showcasing impressive special effects and vibrant cinematography that truly enhance the viewing experience. The characters are charming and well-developed, which helped me connect with their journeys despite the complex plot. The film's brisk pace kept me engaged, though I occasionally found myself lost in the intricacies of the storyline.
While it builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, I felt that the plot could have benefited from clearer exposition. Some moments of humor felt forced, but there were also genuinely funny scenes that provided much-needed levity amidst the chaos.
Overall, Alienoid: Return to the Future is a visually captivating film that offers a thrilling ride for fans of the genre. It left me entertained but also wishing for a more coherent narrative to fully appreciate its ambitious scope.

Oh my goodness this is an amazing movie! That Kim Woo Bin takes my breath away! Yes, I am a fan and he's simply gorgeous! Okay now let's get into the review. All of the cast was wonderful! The pacing was great and the storytelling was the best! I had zero knowledge that this was the second Alienoid movie. Trust me you don't have to watch the first one to enjoy the second one. My guy from the movie Reply 1988 (I can't remember his name)was excellent in this movie! He can act! I thought the fight scenes were really good and the comedy between the characters was too funny! Get your popcorn and enjoy this great movie! I am giving this movie a 10 because it's just that good! Please watch Alienoid 2 you will love it! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You must see Alienoid first for this movie to make any sense. It does give a small synopsis of the first movie at the beginning, but only so informative.
Aliens from another world imprison their criminals here, inside the bodies of humans (without their knowledge). The alien stays there and dies when the human dies. An interesting concept.
Any movie/show involving time-travel can be challenging, but if you paid attention, these movies were easy to follow. I found them both to be entertaining. The characters were interesting, there were no lingering questions, and the slight humor throughout was funny.
