Review of Jung_E

Jung_E (2023)
3/10
Good open world, very bad scenario
27 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I really think they wasted the film with such a budget and resources, even though they did a great job with the CGI. I don't know how they made such a superficial, predictable, boring, and emotionally undeveloped film.

First of all, the CGI was really good, the open world they created was really enjoyable, and a few combat scenes gave a good feeling while watching (the scene where 2 police robots attack Jung_E can be given as an example), but there was nothing else to see in the film.

The scenario seemed like it was written in just 3 hours. The emotional scenes were added just for the sake of it, and the inadequate acting performances, along with the fact that they didn't even mention the war they talked about at the beginning, ruined the movie completely. Ryu Kyung-Soo's performance was really bad, even though the dialogues for all the characters were simple and boring. Also, when Sang-Hoon found out that he was a robot, and started fighting, it was a disaster, as they crowned the bad scenario in the worst way possible.

The forced joke attempts were also boring, and a few scenes with jokes that were never funny should never have been written. The music was also fitting for the scenes, but they were exaggerated and could have been better.

The emotional side of the movie was never developed like the others because we couldn't understand the characters since they couldn't convey the open world to us, and we were watching the city's conflicts as if it was a daily simple event.

In short, there is really nothing to see. I congratulate the technical team, they did a really good job, but our director Sang-ho Yeon gave a bad performance in terms of scenario. Not worth watching.
