The favorable reviews and criticism poured out on’Seungri-ho’, nevertheless a certain fact

“I’m only watching Netflix these days…”

<미나리>Yoon Yeo-jung, an actor in the film, is dimly speaking. Recent Movie Week <씨네21>This was in a video interview with director Bong Joon-ho. The existence of’Dinosaur’ OTT Netflix, which suddenly popped out to director Bong’s question about what kind of family movie he liked, was very symbolic.

Like Yoon Yeo-jung, audiences in the era of Corona 19 chose Netflix as the’Zipcock’ cinema. In particular, in 2020, Netflix’s Asian subscribers increased dramatically. According to IG Works’ Mobile Index report, as of December last year, Netflix subscribers surpassed 9 million in Korea alone.

Whether it is a landing or a crash landing, we have to watch more. However, considering the achievements of drama season 2 and, last year, it is clear that’Korea’s first space science fiction’ equipped with a’new weapon’ will take a look at viewers all over the world who have called the existing K-dramas and K-movies. Looks good enough.

“<반도>It’s better than that.”

And a film critic who left severe reviews right after the release of Netflix <승리호>It left such a critique to a Facebook user who asks for’quality’. K-Zombie genre prelude to Asia, <부산행>It is the sequel to the movie, which invigorated the theaters that were stagnated by Corona 19 last year. <반도>The evaluation of being better seems very meaningful. So, is it worth seeing or not?

The birth of Korea’s first monumental space science fiction

movie <승리호>Is the first genre of’space science fiction’ and’space opera’ in Korea with a pure production cost of 24 billion. It was even reported that it sold for 3 billion won when it decided to release Netflix. It became news only by genre, budget, and Netflix. If it wasn’t for Corona 19, it was a’tentpole (commercial movie with a certain box office)’ that would have targeted 10 million viewers last summer.

Korean version just by revealing the trailer <가디언즈 오브 갤럭시>I got a word of mouth. <늑대소년>, <명탐정 홍길동: 사라진 마을>The expectations for director Cho Sung-hee of and trust in the outer space created by Dexter Studio, which boasts the best VFX technology in Asia, were also high. <태양의 후예>Song Joong-gi, Kim Tae-ri, Jin Seon-gyu, and actor Hae-jin, who solidified the fan base in the Asian market, had nothing to be sad about.

so? Let’s not go around. <승리호>The expectations gathered in are simply sorted out into a few. Is it worth watching the color of our space science fiction movie? As a result, does it guarantee cinematic fun? Is it enough to break the jinx of Korean movies that recently went directly to Netflix? then <승리호>Will it work for overseas viewers?

The story is like this. In 2029, the Earth became deserted, and the boundaries between nations and nations disappeared. The crew of the’Seungri-ho’, a sweeping ship that picks up the trash from the universe, is struggling every day. I am troubled because I don’t have money, and I am too far from my purpose. It is questionable whether it is a sin to have no money, or whether there is no money due to sin.

The crew of Seung-ho, who is quite nervous, has the ability but looks like a mischievous person, and lives with their own personal histories, are the pilots with money, Tae-ho Kim (Song Joong-ki), Captain Jang (Tae-ri Kim) from the former space pirates, and Tiger, who was the leader of the Earth’s drug gang. Park (Jin Seon-gyu) and Harpoon Robot Business-Dong (Yoo Hae Jin) are also space workers.

At the opposite point lies the UTS, a’space paradise’ where very few people choose between the Earth and the Moon. In 2029, the polarization was blatant at all, and Sullivan (Richard Armitage), the 150-year-old who created the UTS, and the real ruler of the universe, is the one who despises the earth damaged by human desire. It turns out that Sullivan is entangled with some of the crew members of Seung-ho’s crew. The story unfolds in earnest as the existence he wants to recover crashes onto Seungho’s family.

<그래비티>Woden <가디언즈 오브 갤럭시>It is close to <승리호>So, rather than being a space world that we can imagine right now, he competes on the image as a pleasant action play. Although the evaluation may vary according to expectations, it will be rare to affirm that the match is’failure’. that much <승리호>The extent of space and the depth of space utilization are stable enough to be filled with the first drink.

In fact, Dexter’s VFX is more than expected, such as the climax, fighting over space debris with its multinational fellow scavengers or saving the earth’s survivors. Never seen <승리호>Rather than focusing on designing and creating the unique world of Mann, it focused on genre customs and visual friendliness in a way that does not interfere with the immersion of the story.

The right size and size, and a sense of balance that doesn’t greedy much comes to my eyes. Of course, it can be said that it is force majeure that the budget of less than a tenth of a minute of Hollywood blockbuster, and thus the so-called cost-performance ratio, is constantly ventilated. It is up to each individual to decide whether to use the space sci-fi mid as a reference point or to compare it to the Hollywood sci-fi, which has invested Marvelous’s enormous budget.

Unlike the main characters fighting UTS, the movie <승리호>Fights with’feast of familiar things’ and’self-esteem for ours’. No, I start with that fate. If you’re a genre expert, you have to fight the images and customs you’ve already encountered everywhere, and the compulsion to achieve them with a relatively low budget and our technology. Which side you are more satisfied with is also up to you.

Between what you want to see and what you can show

If so, is it worth watching or is it cinematically interesting with such a visual image? If the formula of’the first in Korea’ is removed, there will be many people who will tilt their heads. Visually, whether the adventure has already been considered excessive, the storytelling and the characters constantly go back and forth between familiarity and familiarity.

The composition in which the characters with sharp edges change through the unknown character is dotted with predictable friendliness, and the main’Villan’, which the main characters encounter only later, is also not endowed with a special personality in the end despite Richard Armitage’s struggles.

In fact, the composition and ideas between characters that seem to have been borrowed from a specific movie are also a custom in this genre that you and I can use. <승리호> In addition, it is a movie that continuously makes efforts to bring in those customs naturally and mix them up in their own taste.

In the meantime, current topics such as environmental issues and class conflict were inserted. On the other hand, there is also an attempt to melt the conflict between the fantasy nature, which some critics call’Cho Seong-hee World’, or the critical reality perception and the positive outlook to overcome it.

Artificial gravity, etc. <승리호>Man’s genre ideas are scattered everywhere. The evaluation of how effectively it manifested itself as a result of genre customs, occasional rattled editing, or intentionally buried in the setting is different from audiences.

The characters also cannot show off their unique charm as they are stable. Taeho, who is in charge of the area of ​​sensibility, grows as expected, Captain Jang and Geumdong devote themselves to their functional roles, and Tiger Park also changes the customs of the genre. Instead, the fun of watching actors is solsol.

Song Joong-gi, who shined more light in the existing reminiscence scenes that emphasized the sincere image, did their part, and Jin Sun-gyu and Hae-Jin Hae also played their role sufficiently compared to the character’s charm. On the contrary, it was Kim Tae-ri who was halved by her rather plain character. More than anything else, I will be more interested in the child character, the axis of conflict, rather than Richard Armitage’s struggles. As in the previous work of director Cho Sung-hee, would it be a child rather than a bad actor?

therefore, <사냥의 시간>Starting from, <콜>and <차인표>Arrived after <승리호>Like’Netflix direct’ movies do,’There’s a reason for all going to Netflix’ or ‘<승리호> Can you break some of the concerns of’even you’?

Hold on to your worries. Already, articles with the same headlines as K-SF’s successful first step are appearing. The generation who grew up watching Marvel movies <가디언즈 오브 갤럭시>The appearance of a Korean film that maintains’Tone and Manner’ of’Tone and Manner’ is on the rise, and the audiences of the Steven Spielberg-George Lucas generation who preceded it are approaching with admiration that’this is a Korean movie’. That is, the first tape of the Korean space science fiction genre, which is predicted several times in the future, <승리호>It means that there are not a few audiences who look at her attempts with interest and favor, and attention is being focused on them.

Meanwhile <승리호>What if it was released at a theater where you can enjoy the sound and screen as planned. Wouldn’t the likes and dislikes be more severely divided between a stable visual image and a story that emphasizes universality and familiarity? Netflix, even some of the future <승리호>Let’s open the theater!

#1 in the world on the first day of release

Those who are ready to applaud her attempts to create their own view of the world between what they want to show and what they can show are full of fills. After the Netflix release, it is predicted that overseas reactions will also exceed a certain level.

Recently via Netflix <킹덤> Series, <살아있다>To, <스위트홈>I enjoyed the same K-contents, and before that <부산행>and <반도>Cheered, and at the same time <가디언즈 오브 갤럭시>The same generation in Asia, who grew up watching TV, is especially for the audience. <승리호>The same reason would be the same for those who say that the simultaneous release of the world through Netflix is’a number of gods’.

Not only director Cho Seong-hee, but also director Cho Sung-hee in the 1980s, the sci-fi movies created by the divisions of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Romet Germekis in the 1980s <승리호>It is whether or not to accept as what kind of sensitivity.

The president “<쥬라기 공원>(1993) The money earned on the one hand is the export of 1.5 million Hyundai Motors.” After defining the relationship between the film and the economy and driving the film industry, the generation that developed cinematic sensibilities 25 years later <승리호>Was released all over the world, and I enjoyed it as an audience. In other words, the generation who struggled between what they want to see and what they can show can now use our technology to create those science fiction movies that were raised and watched as a child, and create a world that could not be seen in Korean movies. Now, through that feasible technology, we are moving to the stage of what story and what world to create. Personally rated <승리호>This is the greatest significance of.

<승리호>The fact that even actor Yoon Yeo-jung in his 70s was addicted to Netflix also showed clear advantages and disadvantages. Instead of losing the opportunity to enjoy Korean films of this scale in theaters, the opportunity to assess in real time the technological prowess of Korean sci-fi movies was given through simultaneous worldwide release.

It is definitely a meaningful footstep beyond the Corona 19 era. On the one hand, it can be said that it provided another story in terms of evaluation and profits for the movie itself. Furthermore, Netflix does not share future profits instead of carrots, which are real-time worldwide releases. like this <승리호>Seems to remain a monumental work in many senses, which indeed provided several’rice cakes’.

According to streaming service ranking site’FlixPatrol’, <승리호>Became the most watched film among all the movies in the world on Netflix on the 6th, the day after the release. Overall ranking, including TV shows, <파이어플라이 레인>and <브리저튼>It is in third place following A.

Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France. It ranked first in Malaysia and the Philippines, and ranked 7th in the United States. It has reached the top 10 in all continents. In contrast, the IMDB rating is in the 6-point range. It is unknown how long this interest will continue, <승리호>It seems certain that the company is pioneering a path that no one has ever been to.
