I was tasked to review this for Den but Netflix didn’t give us the screener until today and tomorrow I’m completely booked so I had to bang this out quickly.
I’m just going to post my notes. Hopefully my review is accepted and you can read about that Friday.
Notes:
Archer b cgi croc (Korean archery)
3 years after
Post apocalyptic
Hard hitting as always when a gang shows up
Mannish woman provides comedy relief
Apartment complex with clean water reference to concrete utopia
Nam san
Ubiquitous green liquid in hypos
Cult around dr yang gi-su
Ji-wan
Su-na
Bodies fly
Machete action - hallway fight is signature Don Lee
Sgt Lee eun-Ho
Mad doc with a blood stained white lab coat

This is D00M recommended btw, at least for those of us who still have a taste for ultravi.

Is this a sequel?
RE: Badland Hunters - Drunk Monk - 01-25-2024
It's not.
It's rumored to be a sequel to Concrete Utopia, S. Korea's foreign film submission to the Oscars (didn't make the cut). I really want to see that. It's got a similar premise - mega-quake destroys Seoul and the story is post-apocalypse. Plus it's from the same studio. Even Wikipedia says it's a sequel.
But the filmmakers say it's completely original.
It's not.
It's more of a rip off. But it goes somewhere different. It's really just an action film, loosely echoing some popular tropes in K-cinema. If you don't know K-cinema, it may come off more original. Mostly it's mighty Don Lee punching the crap out of a lot of hooligans. And that's fine entertainment in my book.
Y'all gotta get on the Don Lee train. He's a fun action hero. Burly brutal fun. This is an ok place to get on board.

Does he hang out with Angelina Jolie?
RE: Badland Hunters - Drunk Monk - 01-25-2024
If only…
Is that what it takes for you to watch ultravi nowadays? Angie & geritol?

My editor asked afterwards how I’d rate this on 1-5 scale. I said action = 4; plot = 3.
Just perfect for a film Greg will hate and PPFY will enjoy.
RE: Badland Hunters - Greg - 01-26-2024
Mostly geritol.
(Do they still sell geritol?)( Wow, that's an oldy oldster reference.)

RE: Badland Hunters - Drunk Monk - 01-26-2024
Both of you do. Otherwise how will we tell you apart?
RE: Badland Hunters - Greg - 01-26-2024
I'm the cute one. Obvs.
RE: Badland Hunters - Drunk Monk - 01-26-2024
From what angle?
Wait! NO! Don't answer that.
Don't want to know. I'll just take your word for it.
