I’m pretty sure I was going to be on board for whatever type of movie Bong Joon-Ho decided to do next after Parasite. Did I expect it to be a Sci-Fi comedy tackling the existential question of “what is it like to die?” No.
On a bare-bones level, I think the movie’s structure and concept is very, very good. The entirety of the plot is exceptionally intriguing. But, I don’t think the execution quite worked. There’s a good chunk of half-baked plot lines that never get fully fleshed out, plus a couple secondary characters where the acting seemed off.
Overall, good not great. 73/100
