In the year 2022, Guard (KIM Woo-bin) and Thunder live on Earth, managing alien prisoners who have been locked up in humans' brains. One day, a spacecraft appears in the sky over Seoul, and the police detective Moon (SO Ji-sub, "Moon") witnesses a strange sight.... Meanwhile 630 years earlier during the Goryeo Dynasty, the hapless dosa (Korean tao magician) Muruk (RYU Jun-yeol) and Ean (KIM Tae-ri), the so-called "The Girl Who Shoots Thunder", each scramble to outwit each other in pursuit of the mystical Divine Blade, for which a huge reward is being offered.

Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com The amazing thing is, as dorky and overstuffed as the plot tends to be—Alienoid is also often fast enough to keep pressing forward. What a rush; what a headache. Rated: 3/4 Aug 26, 2022 Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times The movie is bursting at the seams, as if Choi... was drunk on pure filmmaking pleasure and threw every cinematic genre into a gigantic blender. Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Amarsanaa Battulga View of the Arts The road is bumpy at times but it helps that Choi effortlessly maintains a light tone throughout and stacks a star-studded cast that anchors the story that, to say the least, romps around. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis HanCinema "Alienoid" is a movie that definitely deserves a watch for its individual elements, particularly on the big screen, but does not make much sense as a whole. Rated: 5 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT One of the most bonkers movies of the year. A sci-fi spectacle filled with time travel, aliens, robots, and magical cats. It can get overwhelming at times, but is an overall entertaining over the top watch. Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Alienoid can be a little too convoluted with plot developments that are jumbled into different timelines. However, this sci-fi adventure has plenty of orginal storytelling and interesting characters to keep viewers intrigued. Nov 21, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Just like the Korean dramas I consume on TV at home. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/22 Full Review James P Very creative with fusion of historical with modern, but the story needs to be tighter and more focused.
