There are so many ideas mixed together in this movie and a lot of it does work. But it works mostly when it's a goofy action movie where aliens, magic and time travel come together with all its craziness. Every time the movie tries to be serious, it falters.
The one-note characters and it being just part 1 ending in a cliffhanger is not a big help either. While I did enjoy a lot of it and appreciate a lot of the ideas used, the bad parts were painstakingly bad. I would definitely be interested in a better executed version of these concepts. There's so much in it that is not fully explained and only would be explained in a sequel.

Works when it's goofy and not serious.
Fun at the movies
This movie has a little bit of everything. It's got humor, a touch of romance, Kun.g fu dudes. Aliens with lasers. Kung Fu dudes fighting aliens with lasers, time travel. A marriage minded auntie, decent CGI, likeable good guys, vile villains, in short it's just a good time at the movies
The bad guys weren't as well fleshed out as the good guys. They borrowed a little too heavily from Venom for the alien design and power set, and some of the CGI fights lasted a little too long but those aren't big flaws. If this movie sounds good to you then I think you'd enjoy it.
Those are my thoughts. But i keep getting flagged for not having enough characters although i see plenty of shorter reviews posted up in here already. Let's see if I've typed enough.
Go home Dong-hoon Choi, you're drunk.
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.

those who voted for "Mr. 10K" were stupid to the 10th K level.
**Outstanding** scifi! Awesome plot, great acting, even though it's in Korean with subtitles, it's much better than most of the Hollywood grrbgg! I am a very harsh critic of scifi, and I give this a 7,5,8/10

@zeeroji21 - English subs are included with download. Always check for that. Click on the download and see if an SRT icon shows, which is usually represented by a blank sheet of "paper."
