What to Know

Critics Consensus

As a story, Space Sweepers isn't as adventurous as its star-navigating protagonists -- but relatable characters and impressive effects keep it from drifting out of orbit.

Audience Says

Space Sweepers isn't South Korean filmmaking at its most adventurous, but if you're in the mood for a sci-fi movie with action and comedy, look no further.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald The physics-defying spaceship chases and battles are explosive eye-candy, but it's the well-written characters that are always to the fore. Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Karen Han Slate Fun, with colorful performances and impressive CGI, and a worthy substitute for a new Star Wars or Marvel movie. Feb 19, 2021 Full Review Kambole Campbell Polygon The interplay between these characters is the film's saving grace, and the reason it's still mostly a joy to watch. Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Joshua Polanski Boston Hassle Being flaunted as South Korea’s first space-opera, Space Sweepers (or Victory, in the English translation of the Korean title), is less operatic than myopic. Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim “Space Sweepers” has a lot of things going for it — great acting, cinematography, special effects. But once you’re done oohing and ahhing at the visual onslaught, it’ll sink in that what the film lacks is a cohesive storyline. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Selina Lee In Review Online A shiny bit of escapism that, while sweet, probably won't amount to much at the scrap yard. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven G One of the greatest sci fi movies i have seen in a long, long time. Great story, great action, great effects great directing. What more is there to day? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Syed A Great Sci-fiction movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Simi's Beauty W I loved it, best Korean movie ever. They should produce more of this type of movie genre ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Yana I Watched this back in 2021 when it came out! Has been stuck in my mind ever since, such a great movie! The fantasy, the sci-fi, the comfort, it's really awesome! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Ashley M A wonderfully well written action packed space story that never has a dull moment and tugs at the heart strings all at once. Song Joong-ki is incredible as always, as is Richard Armitage and their fellow cast mates. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Vitezslav K The first minutes were interesting, a few more minutes bad, and then, strangely enough, quite an exciting film, I recommend it for sci-fi lovers Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
