Very enjoyable
I as a big fan of South Korean film and TV watched this with my partner who is not. We both equally enjoyed it. The costumes, CGI and world design were very well done especially for a first south korean sci fi and the acting by the main cast was well done also. I would liken this film to guardians of the galaxy in that it is a film about a group of misfits with troubled pasts who find family in each other. Which may be cliche as I have seen others complain in reviews however I think this is part of what makes the film enjoyable rather than being a weakness. Though cliche themes I think that the story still felt unique to me in the way executed. And also the characters which I loved particularly the bad ass captain. Time wise this is a long film but it didn't feel like it was and it managed to keep my attention the whole way through. My only complaint which may seem strange to say as a british person, was the English (and other non korean languages) it felt unnatural and distracting to me. However I understand this was to make it more realistic. The ending did seem to set up for a sequel which I would definitely watch if one was made.
