If you are a person who couldn't sit still for more than 2 hours, this might not be your cup of tea! But if you could, all the acts, comedies, sceneries, CGIs, and story-lines won't dissapoint you. I got sceptical at first, but more than satisfied at the end of the movie. I suggest to watch it in the cinema (especially 4D) so you'll have more remarkable experience. Can't wait for Alienoid Part 2!
Storylines of Past-Present-Future robot, alien, human bla bla . Actually the director didn't miss anything,put everything into this and made linsey-woolsey. There weren't anything that seems to me interesting rather felt like clumsy. Why do the director had to put all these concept together? I really wanted to like and to enjoy it because of it's casts . I was kind of eagerly waiting for this movie to release. And now that I watched it, I'm having huge disappointment.
Literally bored me badly, sometimes made me confused . However, watched it for 2 hours + but won't recommend this to anyone :)

I was rather enjoying it although it's a bit too long. It has decent effects, the Asian over the top acting, nice fight choreography, soundtrack is decent. It kinda resembles Kung Fu Hustle in a way, you'll know what I mean if you've seen it. There's plenty of action, but maybe a tad bit too plenty. It was going OK, I was enjoying it, and then when I started to get bored it turned out it ends in a cliffhanger without actual resolution to the story. I really don't have any will to watch two more hours of this. There was plenty of time to finish the story here, instead of twisting and turning it inside out.
Messy but entertaining Korean hybrid-genre from Choi Dong-hoon. Took a while to understand its concept and get to know a lot of characters. Star-studded cast crafted a deft mix of high-octane action and character-driven comedy to kept us all on hold for part two.
Probably the worst screenplay, editing and directing I've seen in such an eye-candy filled movie. Feels like one screenplay from every genre was shredded and randomly pieced together.
The story lacked continuity, cohesion and most of the attempt at humor was infantile. Even some of the dialog was questionable. Writer and director Dong-hoon Choi failed in giving us a story that made much sense, and instead convoluted almost two and a half hours of story-telling with ridiculous timelines that were riddled with plot and technical issues, and lazy filler with very little substance to the story.
I could edit/cut this down to a 90 min film and even give it a proper ending, and I'd enjoy it more, and I'm not a filmmaker. If it wasn't for the amazing visual effects and decent performances, I would've turned this off after the first time-line jump. I lost interest during every change in timeline because the story kept getting sloppier and lazier.
What's worse, is that after the long dragged out 142 min runtime, there was no reward in the end; we'll probably have to sit through another convoluted 142 mins mess of a story in Part 2, and I'm not willing to make that investment. It's a generous 6/10 from me, mostly all for the visuals effects and decent performances.
