Sinag Borja Dec 17 2022 12:45 am An emotionally rewarding movie ? from the uppermost and genuine actors ,Mr. Gong Yoo and Mr. Park Bo-Gum. Kudos to the staff also.(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤ I can't control myself to weep ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡ Well done to the Director and for the scriptwriter. You're all the best,thank youʕ⁠っ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠っ

Jinia Mar 25 2022 3:38 pm I must first comment on the writing director. Lee Yong- joo leaves the viewer with a wealth of thought provoking material. The thoughtful consideration of life to be of value must have a beginning and an end with the possibility of humans to be wasteful if life had no end is something to be considered. My husband recently passed with a brain tumor. This may sound odd to some but we knew the end was coming and used the time to mend broken relationships. Very thoughtful writing If awards are given for movies that mean more after you leave the screen the Seobok should receive top level appreciation. Now the two, Min Ki Han and Park Bo-Gum. Their ensemble acting was wonderful timing tone emotion. All there I hope they are recognized for their portrayal of Gong Yoo and Seo Bok

FAYESHA Feb 20 2022 11:03 am 100% forgettable movie. nothing to see from this movie. just boasting the CG, that didn't even eventful to see. 100% waste of cast.

Nanashix88 Jan 06 2022 8:06 am I expect more but getting bored watching the movie. I gave 6/10 as the storyline was plain and does not have enough dramatic scene.The background music just plain and boring. As I really like gong yoo and bogum , I can feel their misarable and pain but just that it. Storyline just plain and predictable?

Spoiler : Power just like one of marvel character. They should bring alife the feeling of Mother and son relationship, but fail .

Reminder: Just say you can wtch the movie but dont have much expectation .

tsontso Aug 01 2021 2:00 am What a beautiful story about humans desire to become immortal! I love both leading actors Gong Yoo and Park Bo Gum. I cried hard in the end. Really recommended to all their fans !!!

GongPark Apr 27 2021 11:58 am With these two great actors, how can you not moved by them?! Superb acting that's what makes it very effective... not to mention the uberly gorgeous visuals! It feels like you want some more.. I wish there was more interaction between them, tho. I want to see how their relationship develops...like ki hun teaching seobok how to live and all..

it's hard getting these two in one screen again. Why didn't you make it a series instead? ^^ It was a great movie overall! I enjoyed having my eyes glued on screen..

Aka-Rei Apr 20 2021 5:59 am For me the plot is quite intriguing but the delivery is a bit plain. I don’t find myself stuck to the screen like I do when I watch good movies. But... I do give it an applause for the acting. The actors did a good job on this.

i-DANEE Apr 20 2021 12:09 am I still cry, the strong feelings and the message that the writer delivered to us, it is a masterpiece in the world of films.

Eme alh Apr 19 2021 4:57 am Gong yoo and Bo gum acting is superb, they were very immersed in their roles. I liked the bond which grew between them also. The directing was great, but I feel that the movie was a bit plain. It needed clearer stories and more intense plot. most of the scenes were calm. I feel like they must had shown more scenes of the mother instead of letting her die and we feel not emotional towards her. I give it 8 out of 10.

Katrina Apr 18 2021 3:37 pm The acting was very good, but the story was lacking. I really feel like it needed a full 2 hours; we needed to - 1. get to know the 2 leads better, 2. see more bonding between them, 3. see more of his mom to understand her better and feel Seobok's loss, and 4. to build to the ending. It was all too quick. Also, the bad guy was just a typical evil "I want to rule the world" type with no depth at all. It was an interesting premise, but the story was really just meh. I like both the leads, they are good actors, so it was very disappointing.

Potato Apr 18 2021 1:44 am An Honest Review: I waited for so long and this??? maybe i expect to much but Gong Yoo and Bogummy did really good but the story is nahhhh.

hendry Apr 17 2021 10:39 am The sci-fi taste in the movie is so plain, unlike space sweepers.. The action parts could've done better.. The Casts were amazing they did a pretty well job.. The plot is so lame, better to make this as a drama movie instead of sci fi movie, Character Development should've done better actually hmm...

Jil Apr 15 2021 11:19 pm This high light the acting of two lead males, they did just great to their roles.

The story and phasing is a bit lacking. Or maybe i just expect for more. But over all, this is a good movie

ozzzz Apr 15 2021 7:37 pm Acting wise, no doubt. Both the leads gave their best. It started slow, wondering what is the story. It should not be categorized as action/scifi bcoz viewers will expect that it is . It is more of a drama in a scifi scenario. If it is a hollywood movie, there are so much going on in its first 20 minutes, that excites viewers. It is almost 2 hrs but there are still loopholes in the story. Some facts have to be explained. But bcoz it started so slow, so mch time was wasted. No wonder Bogum didn't accept the movie if the script is not revised. Only when it is revised, he agreed on.

AIWALU Apr 15 2021 10:13 am Just watched it. Superb acting from GY and PBG! It seems like this movie was shorten? I mean 1hr and 30mins are not enough for the story

Perjou Apr 15 2021 7:35 am For me, this is a new kind of Korean movie I've seen so far. They give a special touch of sci fi movie which not as Hollywood presents. Not just about a sci fi action to run your adrenaline or entertain to watch, they try to touch the heart of the audiences.

They start the movie with an intense plot, get into the middle with swing the audiences' emotions then end the movie with a twist yet reasonable decision.

The acting of two main characters are truly the power of this "heavy" movie into the enjoyable one. They got you hooked and emphatized with their stories. There are no holes in the story but I expect more for some roles development and action scenes. But it could take more than 2 hours, so this should be enough.

A movie with good details, philosophical dialogues, nice CGI, proper action scenes, good timing of humor and superb acting wrap this movie into a unique one.

After watched the movie, I could't stop to think of the scenes and dialogues which somehow gave ache in my heart. Human, life, and death. Thankful for this meaningful movie.

Elba Marrero Apr 14 2021 6:52 am It is going to be release April 19 2021.
