Space Sweepers

This was a fast and a fun movie. The plot was simple for SciFi but it was well executed. The effects were great.

Characters: This was Guardians of the Galaxy mixed with Passengers in characters wise. I didn't find the male lead as exciting. However the side characters were great. There was a good diversity in the cast as well.

Plot: Very simple. Sometimes too predictable.

Cinematography: Not too great.

Special Effects: Even better than most US movies.

Will I re-watch this? No. Not because it was bad, simply because this felt like a fun one time event.

In all honesty I don't get the negative reviews...I mean just by seeing the trailer you realize more or less what is all about. In terms of entertainment this movie is cute and so much fun to watch, and actually delivers...so people moaning all the time by saying oh is that oh is the other, should just enjoy it for what it is. Another good release from South Korea which didn't disappoint.

"Space Sweepers" is all in all an average Sci-Fi movie. Nice plot, good characters and a nice cast, good CGI and fun to watch. I was about to give this movie a solid 6 but when I researched about this movie afterwards I couldn't believe me eyes when I saw that they only had a budget of 21 million USD.

I mean how in the world can they do such a good looking movie playing IN SPACE with such a low budget while a Hollywood movie with a similar look would probably cost over 150 million or even 200 million USD?

And when you can create a movie like this with such a low budget, your movie ist not average; it is good.

Protagonists are very cliche (their background stories & personality traits), so is the antagonist (as often seen: big tech company gone bad, its evilness is poorly motivated...). Classic good versus bad story, lacking of grey levels. Very typical, expected plot & outcome, with lots of plot armor on the way. Fans of action & light entertainment will like it, sci-fi fans (like me) might still take some pleasure because of visuals & the general setting.

Considering the scale of this movie, and what they set out to do, I'd say this was a success. It was off, not perfect, and missed often. But overall, very entertaining, impressive, and promising for a whole new film category for South Korea to add to. And they have a lot now. Btw, it's nice to see a variety of countries and languages represented here, not just the usual English only which I find more realistic in a sense. Btw, it is very difficult to incorporate so many different languages and it didn't always work out. But I always thought these futuristic space stories had way too many people from only certain countries ie USA and UK. Star Wars are suppose to be aliens, not even human, far far away and they are still mostly....English speaking white people basically. No one ever thought this was odd? Anyways, looking forward to more sci-fi to come out of South Korea, and other countries for that matter
