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.

The movie starts of well and has gripping action from the start, the action sequences are some of the most exciting and edge of your seat combat with some cool ethical theorys as well as the morality of ai consciousness but it's structured very poorly. The exposition is thick and fast leaving you little time to really let sink in what has just been said. The action is also condensed into 3 or 4 blocks that while great, serve as little reward for the exposition you sit through to get to that point. While the ideas explored inside are definitely interesting and a great movie could be built on their premise the movie get slightly lost in itself with the amount of detail pushed into what is ultimately quite a short movie. It's a good watch when you can find nothing else but I would say it is a fall back on, rather than searching out.
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!

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.
I love Korean made movies. Especially the sci-fi stuff. However, the only thing that I wish would happen is they get more gritty and realistic. People do not interact like they write into these movies. Dispense with the goofy material in a serious movie. It's not a comedy. Flipping from super serious to goofy comedy side characters is like cars crashing into one another. The transition is tough to deal with. People like serious movies. They also like comedies. But you gotta pick one. This one should have been all serious. Dispense with the dopey science assistants and improve a bit on the sci-fi effects, and you've got an 8-9 hit! But I don't want to detract from the general story which was still very good.

- GoofsIts a factual mistake made because of a plot hole
Near the end of the robot fight scene at beginning the physical "girl" humanoid robot is lying on a floor or beam above the simulated 4 legged mechanical dog robot . "she" is spotted by a heat signature as if she was human . A robot thou omitting small amounts of heat - depending on it constitution would not put out as much heat as a warm blooded animal "human". Its a plot hoe to fool you into thinking shes human until her fingers shot off.
