Holy crap, gooks should not be allowed to make movies>nearly 3 hours long>first 45 minutes is just one scaredy cop looking around corners for the monster>when it finally appears the CGI is 2009 tier>aliens have extremely generic resident evil designs>chase sequences that last 20 fucking minutes>aliens speak about fate and gibberish in the last 5 minutes>nonsensical plot without any conclusion
>>223756949Good movie but I prefer Koream crime thriller slop
>>223756949so its just like forgotten island
>>223756949>Holy crap, gooks should not be allowed to make moviesThey just shouldn't be making summer blockbuster garbage. Almost all of my favorite movies from the last decade are Korean
>>223756949You should not be allowed to post here, fucking brainlet.
The only points I agree is that it went too long, the ending being abrupt and the CGI being shoddy which I'm accustomed to since I've been watching movies from the Orient from most of my life. It was okay. I enjoyed the sense of devastation in a small town and the tension. And the plot was easy. Aliens are fighting other aliens, they land on earth, alien prince gets killed by dipshit, aliens get angry, smash shit up, humans try to survive and discover the aliens.
>>223756949korean is an ugly language and they have absurdly weird politics
>>223757000>Almost all of my favorite movies from the last decade are KoreanApart from a few accidental hits like parasite, they stopped making good movies in the late 2000s.
The best Korean movies are just ripoffs of American thrillers from 20 years ago.
>>223757465Or ripoffs of manga
>>223757465>>223757512I'm glad someone else noticed.It's normally me saying this in these threads.
>>223757465Memories of Murder ripped who? Wailing is unique. This is the director's 1sr Sci fi, he was defeated, so what.
>>223756949cute freckles tho
Korean film has lost its sauce
>>223756972>Good movieThere is no way anyone who saw this could reach this conclusion. I understand that Koreans, and maybe even Asians in general, might feel compelled to praise and defend such a movie as a sort of nationalistic knee jerk response to the criticism but c'mon, man. There are plenty of good and even great Korean movies, but this isn't one of them.
>>223757465>>223757512I mean yeah, Oldboy was literally a Japanese manga and it's probably the first movie people would think of when asked for a "Korean movie"
>Girlboss:[>Girlboss, Korea:O
>>223757116when native korean speakers sounds like africans and get confused about their runes you know something went horribly wrong
>Korean slopLet me guess all the men are incompetent and emotionally unstable and the women are competent and rational
>>223757104There's still no conclusion to any of it. Yes we know why the aliens are mad but so what? Are we supposed to care about them trying to revive this prince thing? Or this emperor's ship literally introduced in the last few seconds? If they spent less time on the action scenes (which are excessively long) and more on fleshing out these nvidia box art aliens, maybe it would mean something. The """ending""" feels like a sequel hook to something nobody would care about.
>>223756972>Koream crime thriller sloprecommend some
>>223756949Kino. Better action than anything Hollywood has made in years.
>>223759240Just look at this >>223758426Although later on there's a more competent male hero that they killed off in a stupid manner for shock value
>>223756949>is not even good spectacle in you're path
>>223757116For me it's when they criticise American capitalism when their society is a lot worse when it comes to that
>movie is an allegory for climate change
>>223761094The guy in the window of the car? He’s in a post credits scene
>>223761094He miraculously survives with no explanation in the post-credits scene.
>>223761533>>223761565huh, that's a surprise. I was so checked out when the aliens started blabbering that I never bothered to look, and I usually do.
>>223760619O SHI OH GI is my fav.
It kind makes sense from the POV of the humans in bumfuck nowhere near the DMZFor all you know norkies nuked the fuck out of the spaceship and our heroes would have no ideaWhat the fuck was with the ayy dog on the sphere though?
>>223756949Is this the new Bong Joon Ho movie? Boy did he fall off.

Why does /tv/ prefer Korean media to Japanese media now?
>>223763235as someone that grew up watching lots of east Asian movies, I found that the japanese stuff sort of lost its edge, korean movies have dipped also now, and of course both countries still make good movies it just seems less frequent. but korean tv, at least with action and thrillers have way better production than they used to and, possibly due to disney and netflix investing in alot of shows of those genres its also caused the legacy channels to imitate that. I can't really compare korean drama to japanese drama though, so I don't know how good they are or even what the goats are
>>223760619Nothing after 2009 is worth watching in that genre.
>>223756949Koreans are legendarily bad at sci fi.>All monsters are overdesigned and nonsensical>Resident Evil tier "THIS IS THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION" cliched nonsense>It's overly dramatic and one of the aliens/monsters is implied to be good>Also the monsters/aliens were human onceEvery fucking time.
>>223763235>tv is a hive mindSome do, some don't.I think some of their movies are great, better than the trash japan makes nowadays but that is it. Japan is still 100 times better when it comes to games
>>223756949It's kino and Sung Ki perfectly captured the triumph of the indomitable human spirit. Total Alien Death.
>>223757006Ah he's back..the only shill for this pos film.
>>223760619Joint Security Area is gigakino
Yeah, the US never makes bad films
>>223756949It was hilarious how bad the film was. The fuck critics are smoking.Just because it's a SK film it gets praised. If it was a western film it would of been mocked to oblivion.
>>223756949Their video games have awful plot too, way worse than westerners.
>>223756949>chase sequences that last 20 fucking minutes Am I meant to think that's bad?
>>223760619Start with Man from Nowhere. The best one however is Sympathy for Mr Vengence. Koreans are a bit fucked in the head and all their crime thrillers are super dark.
>>223756972>>223756949Please someone tell me the name of this film,An autistic cop everyone makes fun of is chosen to be the bank robber for a police demonstration. His autism is so strong he ends up ironically humiliating the police force and winning the girl over he takes as a hostage. Its a Korean film.I saw it from /tv/ years ago and can never find it again
>>223756949Thumbnail looked like Xochit
>>223764510it ends up being boring so yes
>>223756949When she shows up why is the monster so far away? Even after shes blown its leg off and its been running for ages, it throws the sewer cover at her from a huge distance when it should be close to her.
>>223758039The most enjoyable moments were Hoyeon smiling and laughing
>>223756949Why does the alien have dreads? Why does a scientist lady show up outta nowhere and start hacking it with a chainsaw while her assistant looks on and we're shown that it's (possibly?) still alive? Why does an old man spend 10 minutes explaining the spicyness of his diarrhea and how he plugged it? Why does a ship just fall into a mountain at the end? What do they want, where are they from, why do have their children in a dark hole on their abandoned ship? Who saw the script and said, "yep, here's a hundred million!"
