| IGNZaki HasanSpace Sweepers is low-risk, low-reward entertainment. It’s a breezy bit of escapism with some social commentary baked in, but it’s the spectacle and whiz-bang that’s on the front burner. Even as he gleefully reshuffles familiar elements from a variety of sources, director Jo has created a fascinating science fiction tableau that feels both original and inviting. |
| PolygonKambole CampbellImagining space as an extension of earthly capitalism certainly isn’t new, but at least Space Sweepers’ cast has the collective charm to make the material feel like fresh, worthwhile viewing among the increasing detritus of streaming content |
| SlateKaren HanIt’s not a perfect movie, nor a particularly innovative one, but the science-fiction adventure—touted as the first Korean space blockbuster—is certainly fun, with colorful performances and impressive CGI, and a worthy substitute for a new Star Wars or Marvel movie. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreShoot outs, wisecracks, narrow escapes and brutal, bloodied captures, a big BOOM that might be coming and Raybans that might never come off. It’s oh-so-pretty to look at. But talk about empty calories. |
| User ReviewAmicus_FidelisI enjoyed this movie a lot. It had great special effects, a good story line, and well liked characters. And while I may not think this deserves a 10, I'm giving it 1 because of Racist people with no taste in movies giving it a 0 just because its Korean. Honestly the movie is about an 8/10 and well worth a watch. I hope this helps anyone looking for a review. |
| User Reviewdazaisan20this was one of the best space movies i ever seen, i saw the crit, i thought it will be bad, and like american movies and etc, but it wasn't like this at all !, it may make you feel that the movie is like cowboy and etc american movies at first, but every 10 mins you can know that what you are watching is different, VFX Is the best thing in the movie, the story was very amazing, the characters , and the acting, i give it 8/5 , but because people are hating this show for nothing i'll hit it with 10, because this movie have to be trending, more people most watch it, stay away.. K-drama haters. |
| User ReviewJeffMDA surprisingly enjoyable movie. The writing is nothing new to anyone in to sci fi, however the innovation tech on display are quite novel and offer a convincing look into a possible future. Despite being a Korean production you may hardly recognise it because while the main crew that we follow is korean we see and interact with ships and people from all nations. ingeniously the movie chooses to keep everyone's native language at all times because in this future everyone wears a translater. The subtitles are managed well for this. The cgi is really great as are the sets. There is a lot of production quality here and for the main cast the acting is great. Nothing special about the sound and I kept expecting the villain to be something special but alas, he was not. Not much room for a sequial here but I will be waiting for more sci fi from this studio. |
| User ReviewDubeauSweeper was a fun scifi movie. The story was really interesting, but the ending was too confusing and not really focus. The FX were really amazing, at the level of some AAA titles. I mean the space sequences could be compared to the Expanse, minus less budget. The acting was fair, some better the others, but overall very respectable. The sounds weren't really great and the soundtrack was forgettable. The robot was maybe, the best voice over into the movie. Really some emotional moments here and there that cemented the story. I give it 75%. A bit too long, and I think we didn't get enough of the villain backstory. A quality movie with a so, so ending. |
| User ReviewSteprockIt's like a live action anime with surprisingly good effects and excellent interior designs. The story is not super original, but they have some real heartfelt moments and tons of bonkers action. I appreciate how out of the box and different the approach was from Hollywood. Pretty good dubbing plus English-speaking actors make it work well in the English dub. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001It over-extends its stay, but Space Sweepers was an impressively ambitious sci-fi film. There are several segments that are quite messy, and the story itself is not that solid but for the most part I think it's an experience that offers apt and competent thrills. It could be better? Of course. With a better consistency it could have reached better levels but truth be told, I never found myself disappointed. I give it extra points for being a nice and interesting option outside the mainstream and the big franchises. |
