An action crime film set in the 1970s in a small, peaceful village by the sea where two women get unexpectedly caught up in a high-stakes smuggling scheme.
It has a very slow build-up with endless scheming that makes it difficult to care. Especially since it's never really in doubt that the women will stick together in the end.
The sudden violent, brutal action towards the end also doesn't help.
While not realistic, the underwater fight at the end is at least interesting to watch.
Alienoid: Return to the Future (2024, South Korea)
Director & Writer: Choi Dong Hoon
Mini-review:
I'm gonna be honest: I barely remembered anything about the first part, except that it was a pretty fun piece of popcorn entertainment. Now, after a quick recap, I can say this sequel lives up to the first one in that sense. The plot gets more convoluted and some of the twists left me flabbergasted, but the outstanding cast makes it work. As with the first one, my favorite part was the mixture of sci-fi and fantasy elements with the period setting, although the parts set in the present are very entertaining as well. Also, while the CGI leaves a lot to be desired, the sets and costumes are all stunning. Anyway, Alienoid: Return to the Future might not be a landmark in sci-fi cinema nor Choi Dong Hoon's best movie, but it's engaging and fun enough.
For a story with such gore and darkness, the style is kinda a dissonance. I am watching it for Kim Hye Soo really.
