Sector 7
Synopsis:
The Korean movie started with a group of people discover some strange underwater glowing creature while undergone an underwater expedition of Jeju Island. Then, the movie panned forward to The Eclipse, an offshore drilling oil rig stated at Sector 7. The oil drilling excavations end in failure and headquarters gives the order to withdraw. Captain Jeong-man is sent to oversee the crews withdrawal from the Eclipse. However, Hae-jun, the equipment manager (played by Ha Ji-Won), is adamantly opposed to the headquarters order, as she is certain that oil will be discovered in Sector 7. Motivated by Hae-juns conviction of finding oil, the Captain suggests conducting one last drilling exercise. While Hae-jun and the crew are fully engaged in their final attempt, they lose communication with headquarters when a storm hits their rig but just before their doc assistant apparently fall to her death. As the bodies begin disappearing one by one, they finally discover that a mutant monster is the cause of the killing and also found the origin of the mutant monster is because of human experiment to re-engineered a species that is able to produce oil as alternative to petroleum.
Review:
One of the best and only Korean monster movie i saw was "The Host". It was a good movie with mix blend of comedy, family and finally the monster. The CGI was quite realistic and scary too. So, i was quite positive about this supposedly 3D monster movie from Korea. Positive comment - The color captured of the movie is extremely beautiful and detailed, almost looks like Avatar for a second there. Negative comment - Too much to listed all but i will try my best. 1. Horrible Script- There seems to be no real depth story and the actors kept dishing out senseless and boring dialogues during the whole movie. It is so annoying. 2. Horrible Action - The action is laughable and illogical. During one particular scene, the monster was about to attack/eat an injured crew but somehow miraculously, they are able to save the injured crew inches from the monster jaws and make a run for it , before the monster realize it. Is the monster blind and dumb? I do not really care or bothered. Another scene, the crews are armed with guns and harpoon but when the monster was about to attack some of the crew, they miraculously didn't fire a single shot. 3. Horrible Acting - I have not seen such terrible acting in a Korean movie before. I saw many good Korean movies with credible acting but in this movie, it is terrible. The only okay acting is from the lead actress in Ha Ji-Won but even she couldn't save the whole movie from going down the drain. The male actors are horrible and they serve as only monster dish. Imagine that for the whole movie, a girl help save all-male-oil-riggers from the monster. 4. Horrible CGI - Blue-Screen-Type CGI was used in many years back and during the '80s it was ok and looking realistic but coming to the millennium, blue-screen CGI looks pretty low budget and it is even worse when the viewers are able to detect it in a second. Most of the movie action, explosion and the bike-action scene was done using blue-screen CGI and it stood up like a sore thumb. It looks so cheap and
Verdict:
1 star out of 5. Weak and Horrible Movie
