Alienoid: Return to the Future (5 Stars)


So much about this film is perfect. I can't criticise it in any way. It's a Korean sci-fi time travel epic, told in two parts. It's a direct continuation from "Alienoid". According to what I've read, both parts were filmed back to back. They would have been released as a single film if the studios hadn't thought that four hours is too long. Maybe we need "Alienoid: The Whole Bloody Affair".

An alien race, which is obviously too humane to carry out a death sentence, imprisons dangerous criminals on Earth. They're locked inside human hosts, where they'll live until the host dies. The human has no idea that he's carrying an alien in his body, and the alien is unable to escape. The story is complicated when an alien attacks the Earth in 1380 and manages to travel to the present day (2022), where he intends to release all the prisoners.

The story is a lot more complicated, but I'll leave it there. It all hinges on the premise that the alien race is unwilling to sentence violent criminals to death. That would make everything much easier.
