Bong Joon Ho's latest has a fun premise, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and doesn't squander its finale, but the whole "multiples" narrative in the middle dragged down the film. I didn't really care for Pattinson and Ruffalo, the rest of the cast fared better. Overall, the film's a little uneven. It's not quite goofy enough to be a true comedy, it's not edgy enough to be a real satire, the sci-fi is a bit too fantasy-inspired, and the fantasy elements are a little plain. But it's a relatively original big-budget sci-fi flick, and there aren't too many of those around. It was an amusing enough film, I just hoped for more.Read all
Decent but somewhat inconspicuous film unworthy of all the hype. Bong is a fine director and there are a few decent scenes that stand out, but the first hour is very repetitive, the second one feels aimless and the rest of it is just solid, but hardly anything to get excited about. Beats me what all this praise is for, but it's not a bad film.
