Review by Peter Morton
Jean & I watched this new movie release on Netflix yesterday evening.
It is currently the No. 1 movie viewed on Netflix and we can see why.
We really enjoyed this first major South Korean sprawling ‘space opera’ movie.
Amazingly the movie was made for $21 million ( £15 Million), compared to Holywood movies that can be on average more than five times the cost of this film.
The Special Effects/ Visual Special Effects SFX/VFX were excellent and equalling Hollywood’s best efforts.
The story is based on real issues of ecology, climate change by humans.
Set in 2092 with earth’s population struggling to survive poverty and a dying breathable atmosphere.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the world’s largest company (UTS) has created a safe haven on a massive earth-orbiting space station.
