Alien: Romulus (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): A well-mixed entry of the 45-year-old series
“Alien: Romulus” surprises me as showing that there are still enough fun and thrill in the series which was started 45 years ago. While there are nice old stuffs to be appreciated, there are also refreshing new stuffs to be … Continue reading
The Moon (2023) ☆☆(2/4): A middling space drama with lots of squeezed tears
My mind instantly went back to several different space drama films as watching South Korean film “The Moon”, which is incidentally not a remake of Duncan Jones’ acclaimed 2009 SF drama film of the same name. While its first act … Continue reading

Moonshot (2022) ☆☆(2/4): As they’re heading to Mars
My demand is not that high when I watch any film which happens to draw my interest, but “Moonshot”, which was released on HBO Max in last week, let me down in more than one way. As a romantic comedy, … Continue reading

South Korean film “Space Sweepers”, which was released on Netflix yesterday instead of getting released in South Korean theaters due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is a mixed bag consisting of familiar but enjoyable stuffs. While it is full of … Continue reading
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Overwrought and middling
“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”, which is belatedly released in South Korea this week, is an overwrought and middling finale to what has excited and entertained us during last four years. After “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015) and … Continue reading
Aniara (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Space voyage of the Damned
Swedish SF film “Aniara” is akin to watching a slow but inexorable progress toward utter despair and sheer hopelessness. Although it is often too clinical for us to care about what is going on in the story, the movie works … Continue reading
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): When Han Solo was young…
Despite its rather troubled production process, “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is fairly watchable on the whole, but it also feels redundant and unnecessary while not that terrific enough for recommendation. Although there are several entertaining moments in the film … Continue reading
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): It’s certainly not the last one
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” is a big entertaining surprise. Fully developing the potentials glimpsed from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015), this ambitious piece of work not only excited me with numerous memorable sights but also intrigued me with … Continue reading
