this weird giant sci fi creature movie just jumped onto my watchlist
na hong-jin’s 156-minute korean sci-fi creature film hope waits about 45 minutes to properly reveal its monster, then keeps the creature mysterious even after it appears. the review says the first half’s chaotic town chases have real awe and momentum, while the later sprawl into subplots, autopsy scenes, and extra chases feels more overextended.
hope makes viewers wait roughly 45 minutes for a real look at its monster, and when it finally shows up the thing feels less like a standard beast than some godlike, ghostlike presence.
