User Reviews

South Korea at its worst

The good thing is the background plot. And you can read it on the DVD covers and even here.

The way this plot comes alive is awkward and tasteless. I'll name a few unacceptable things.

1) "The Diaper Gang"

It is a complete failure (first of all in art design) - come on, we made much cooler pictures of villains at school though we did it just for fun. And here the Korean guys earn money by THIS? Such green little one-dimension figures with UZI-guns or whatever. However much blood you draw when representing their deaths this will always look like a drawing of a spoilt kindergarten child or a violent grown-up moron. The characters of "Beavis & Butthead" were at least funny at times and quite friendly. I mention "The Diaper Gang" because it is a key element in the flick. It occupies the majority of this feature and that's very irritating to watch this moronic daub.

2) Scenes (remakes/remixes) and concepts from other movies

The Korean guys are stealing concepts from "Alien", "Mad Max", "Indiana Jones", "Basic Instinct", and "RoboCop" just to name most obvious "borrowings". Should I say that the tree mentioned films are cult classics and will be remembered by the movie fans forever? It all looks and feels that these Korean guys have nothing to say and the only thing they can do is stealing other men's ideas.

3) Satanic material

Yes, you see it correctly. What is it, if not satanic material that goes at the beginning of the cartoon? Quite possibly, the creators of this "new-wave entertainment" are the followers of some satanic cult because a more a less normal person (even an atheist) would have never used such provoking images in a film and would have never promoted this kind of "pop-art" so fiercely.

4) Unfunny comedy elements

Cannot name even one funny scene: they are either too rude and sinister or too stupid and interfering.

Korea should be ashamed for promoting such poor product. It made the situation even more uncomfortable as I watched the promos and advertisement material on the DVD (little kids smiling, Korean girl shouting something like "Ssipak!!!", guys waiving with flags, etc.) - it really makes me doubt the Koreans in general. Let's just say that they look very awkward promoting this kind of video product. Maybe you'd point out: "It's just a little funny-silly cartoon, take it easy!" And I'd say: "No, dear viewers, what we have here is an abomination which should have never been born. Entertainment, however wicked and silly, should have some boundaries and you know it."

So, if you like artless projects, enjoy satanism, and are in love with poor remakes/remixes of the good movies, go for it! You'll love this one.

I still hope that those happy gals, guys, and children, which were promoting this abomino-animation had not actually seen it and were paid for their "Hoorah!" words. Otherwise Korea (SOUTH) is in big trouble to cherish and advertise rotten products like this. I could not believe my eyes when they showed a little kid of about 5 years old who was supposed to represent the praise of this cartoon. Did the Koreans suggest that even such children could watch and enjoy THIS? Is it a "PG" material in their country?

As mentioned above, the background plot is good. I really think so. And this feature shows vividly how an original plot can go down the toilet. They could have done a groovy post-apocalyptic drama. But that requires real talent like that of John Carpenter, James Cameron, Ridley Scott, and George Miller – something that these South-Korean guys and girls are missing so badly…

If you want a real gem of Korean cinema, go get "Hong kil dong" (1986). But that's North Korea - militant, poor, rejected by the "World's Greatest Empires", etc. And what does South Korea with all its tons of money and luxurious living conditions produce? Read the review from the beginning – that's what. Sad but true…

1 out of 10 and keep your children far away from this dung. Thanks for attention.
