Brian Lowry CNN.com The film turns out to be visually striking and narratively muddled, with a story that starts somewhere in the middle, throws around lots of provocative science-fiction concepts and comes to a rather abrupt end. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Way too much of Jung_E is content to discuss its themes instead of merely embedding them in an interesting story. Rated: 2/4 Jan 25, 2023 Full Review Al Horner Empire Magazine JUNG_E delivers where it matters: propulsive action sequences, emotive drama and grand existential questions about the human connections that sustain us. Rated: 3/5 Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Maxance Vincent InSession Film Flashy action sequences are one thing (and they're all amazingly executed), but if the story doesn't support it, you only have one piece of the puzzle. Rated: C- Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Clement Tyler Obropta Film Inquiry Jung_E is a mindless film that neglects its soul in favor of metal-scraping, robot-smashing action. Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers Viewed as a study of human connections, and the special bond between a mother and daughter, the film underscores the emotional cogs that give our lives meaning.

Vinh D Movie started off good and intriguing, but started to drift a bit off to boringness, where some parts were too long for unnecessary reasons. They could have even wrapped this movie up as a short movie (you know, the short sci-fi movies you see on Youtube). So yeah, a bit too long. We get it, we get it, skip skip skip. But what really challenged the audiences intelligence was that they ran the same simulation over and over and over again. You would think after many years, if not decades, they would have accomplished the simulation pattern. Unless they weren't able to think outside of the box... which I doubt if they were smart enough to make AI robots fight like bruce lee. There was just something not right about this sci-fi movie. I guess they tried to spin an "I Robot" alternative. Not a movie that will stick in your memory for years, and I guess it's just okay to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Was I absolutely hate this movie, it is surprisingly well made and got me extremely emotional because of how good it was. How it depicted a copy of human mind in androids made me mildly uncomfortable because of how realistic the whole process was (specifically how they treated them, not made them). A person dying and having their consciousness copied and used for production by companies? Yea that checks out. And how throughout the movie it constantly makes you question if each copy is just a robot or if there really is some sort of soul of the original person in there somewhere. I just wanted to play a semi interesting ScyFy movie in the background while I work on a project, but ended up getting fully intrigued and invested. Again, I hate this movie. It made me feel things I did not want and was not ready to feel. 10/10 would and will recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Ed S This sci-fi movie is good. The first 1/2 of the movie is slow. I almost lost interest yet the last 1/2 is all the entertaining CGI action. I wish they would produce the sequel to tell the story what life Jung_e would have after she is free and what would the director does when learning she is free. There would be a full chasing action scenes because the story just begins... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Sam W A personal and emotionally driven story of android life - what it is to be human, human rights and how they react when they find out they aren't human. Nothing truly new is covered, but the story is well told and the characters are good, even if all the men come across as silly and all the women come across as sensible. The fantastical futuristic setting looks impressive and the brief and infrequent action scenes are fast paced and exhilarating, although the CGI does look a bit cartoony in places. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review D J I LOVED IT!! Others watch with me does as well. Will again and again. Great work director Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Kenneth L I enjoyed this as a nice little piece of science fiction with some cool visuals.
