Audience Member dosta soliden korejski SF sostaven od tri prikazni, od koi vtorata prikazna so robotot budist e nesto fenomenalno Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I want to research you forever. In the future the Earth evolves and a virus spreads that very few are immune to. Those infected turn into zombies of sorts. During the spread a commercial organization develops robots that are highly effective protecting areas. Pockets of humans around the world have survived because of these robots. However, there are rumors circulating these robots are dangerous and may get out of hand? "You'll have purified urine to drink." Pil-Sung Yim, director of Antarctic Journal and Scarlett Innocence, delivers Doomsday Book. The storyline for this picture was inconsistent with some positive aspects and ridiculous moments. The action was well done and had some solid CGI. The acting was just okay and the cast includes Doona bae, Joon-ho Bong, Ji-hee Lee, John Kim, and Kang-woo Kim. "I thought she was blind because her eyes were yellow." I came across this on Netflix and randomly decided to add this to the queue. This was disappointing. I felt this had some potential but it fizzled as it didn't take itself too seriously. Overall, I'd recommend skipping this film. "Act first, think later." Grade: D+/C- Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely brilliant, with my favourite part 2, being so close to Asimov's ideas and storytelling style...

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Three (short) stories that will make you think about the future and the apocalypse.each story has its own way of showing us the consequences of our own acts as a society.very thought provoking. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Sandwiched between two rather average post apocalyptic short films is a brilliant and masterfully made short film. All three of the post apocalyptic stories in this three story anthology film involve the role of humans in our own destruction. The first is a rather uninspiring comic zombie story and the third one is a somewhat better humorous killer asteroid story, but it's the middle film that really stands out and being something special. This segment is titled "The Heavenly Creature" and was directed by Kim Jee-woon. The story is about a robot at a Buddhist temple who believes they have reached enlightenment. The monks believe it to be true, but hey call in the technician from the company who made the robot that that is where the film becomes a bit more philosophical, asking questions about what truly constitutes enlightenment, mainly focusing on if it's more important for the individual to hold this belief of if it's believe be those around them to are more important. It's a really fascinating story that reminded me greatly of "I, Robot" Outer Limits episode where a robot is put on trial for murder. The film had two directors, with Kim directing this middle story and another director behind the other two. I'd seen Kim's wilding original "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" and his entertaining, though rather pedestrian American film debut with Arnold's return as a leading man with "The Last Stand". However, a couple of Kim's film have been on my list of films to watch for some time, so I will definitely be putting "A Tale of Two Sisters" and "I Saw the Devil" right at the top of my list to watch this summer. "The Heavenly Creature" would be a ****12 film on it's own, but the taken as a whole, this film is a mere ***1/2 film.
