Oh yea Korean film has definitely raised itself up over the past few years. Been gaining recognition among asian film lovers over here and I must say it took me far too long to find out about it.
As for the film, the trailer itself is a thing of beauty. Let’s just hope it doesn’t go the way of Resurrection of Little Matchgirl (damn I used a boot) and Yesterday.
I really would like to see a Korean Sci-Fi film work.
Me too. Glad to see it’s finally coming out.
As an avid Korean film lover here in the States, I too have been waiting to catch this film. Of course it will take me a little longer than those in S. Korea.
Korean film has been moving up, up, up - they sank a ton of money into Natural City, and if the stills and trailer are anything to go by, this movie should rock. I just hope they can execute the storyline (even if it does apparently borrow quite a bit from Bladerunner) properly. They was my biggest complaint with the anime “Wonderful Days” - beautiful animation, interesting plot, but horrible execution in terms of making the story click.
You’re right that ROTLMG was 18 movies in one. I would also have to say that the movie was a bit too “artistic” in some sense and not grounded enough. Needless to say I laughed when Dreams Come True started to play…
The Ave Maria sequence was impressive and other little things about the movie were saving graces. I just hope NC does well at the Korean Box Office. Because otherwise there is slim pickings for Sci Fi from any other country besides America.
