Following their consecutive triumphs in a myriad of genres & styles in the recent past; Koreans have now finally decided to take the initiative into this fairly newer ground i.e. Sci-fi/Space. On a concept level, this was a terrific attempt, a fascinating idea indeed. If only the execution was able to correspond accordingly, this could have resulted in something else entirely!
The budget was sufficient as were the available resources. There were absolutely no problems whatsoever regarding how it looked and felt. The Cinematography, the Sound, the all-around production is nothing but a testimony to my aforesaid statement. Performances too satisfied the prerequisites! Albeit, the characterization leaves a much bigger room for improvement.
The same goes for the Screenplay as well. Which was, by and large, an uninteresting and uneventful affair. All thanks to its dismal pace; which should have had better consistency and nourishment. As you can probably tell by now, the primary issue isn't with the idea or the particular way it is conceptualized; it is more about the implementation, which failed to take advantage of its much broader potential in the end.
While, on one hand, I do praise the creators for their covetous and pragmatic intents; on the other hand, I don't see this getting much of a success. Let's just say, I fear, in the majority of cases, people's exact expectations wouldn't be met!
