{4.5\/5} “Earth used to be the symbol of life. Space, death. Now through the miracle of technology, we can go fishing in a stream above the sky.”<\/p>\n
Space Sweepers<\/strong>, released in 2021<\/p>\n A group of people who look for garbage to trade in for cash stumble across what looks like a little girl. But it’s a robot — a robot that has a bomb inside. Because they’re desperate for money, they contact the terrorists and demand $2 million to give her back to them. The terrorists agree. On the way, some of the crew grow a bit attached to the girl and don’t really want to give her up.<\/p>\n Astonishingly, this is South Korea’s very first science fiction movie set in space.<\/p>\n The special effects are terrific — particularly the shots of the different space stations, habitats, and ships in orbit.<\/p>\n I wasn’t sure about the story at the beginning, but it picks up once they find the girl.<\/p>\n It’s about what you would do for money, or a better place in society. And what you would do for friendship.<\/p>\n Stars Song Joong-ki, Kim Tae-ri, and Richard Armitage. Directed by Sung-hee Jo (A Werewolf Boy<\/strong>). The music is by Kim Tae-seong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Earth used to be the symbol of life. Space, death.
