Luka Aug 15 The movie was absolutely phenomenal!! Loved the plot and story progression. Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Min Ho are incredible to see star together. This was my first movie to see in Korean and in theaters. I hope to see more of their work on the big screen. I look to own this movie on dvd when its available. 333 See more An C. Aug 8 I never read the webtoon. All I read was the synopsis and trailer. I watched this to support Ahn Hyo Seop in his first film. Boy, was he amazing. Everyone was amazing. The actions scenes, WOW! Everyone is complaining about the CGI, but I thought they were well done. This was such a great movie. I was so disappointed it wasn't longer. Even if it wasn't a perfect adaptation like people are complaining, it was still very well made. Would watch again! See more Brandi Aug 7 This is so well done! I really enjoyed this live action. See more Victoria Aug 7 Loved the movie and the actors! Will watch again today :) See more Viki Aug 7 Movie is a mix of Squid game and some Apocalyptic movies already seen. Targets younger audience, Story is missing a depth, characters and their motivations were not developed sufficiently. All actors gave their best, following the script they were given. I would single out LMH , Nana, and a little boy for the best performances , I gave movie 3.5 stars, because it was entertaining enough. I believe, that 10-12 episodes drama would be more suitable for this genre. See more A Aug 5 I have been a fan of the ORV novel for years and I was a bit nervous about this movie but I LOVED it. There was a lot that was changed, characters that felt different, plot points that were combined or removed or switched. But this wasn't ever going to be the book. Instead what we got was a bombastic, hilarious, tense, incredible action-fantasy flick built on the framework of the novel's plot and setting. The actors for Dokja and Huiwon were especially phenomenal and I loved the new action setpieces that were added to the film. What they were able to keep from the novel was wonderfully adapted nd most of the changes they made worked well for a movie format. Some of my favorite book scenes were missing, but others were so well-executed that I cheered out loud in the theater. And the movie gave me NEW favorite scenes as well. There were even a lot of un-commented-on easter eggs for readers in the audience, like the use of probability, or the nebulas shaped like eyes, or the conversation Dokja remembers at the final wall. This movie wasn't the novel, but I am so grateful that it took a different track, tried something new, and that we got the movie we did. I really really hope this film does well enough that we can get a sequel because I would love to see how the movie's story develops next. See more Read all reviews
