Weirdly good
A combination that honestly didn't ever thought of or think it will even exist, fantasy, aliens, time travelling and comedy all in one pot but still make it enjoyable so hands up All respects to whoever try to make new and unheard of combinations such as this and make it good.The movie might be hard to follow but it's amazingly entertaining

One hell of a ride
This is a start of something new. A new franchise? Maybe?The movie was action-packed and ver entertaining. It has no boring storylines. And every character was very well woven in one tapestry.
Actors were perfectly picked. Kim Woo Bin portrayed each character very well. Hope he comes back in the sequel. Kim Tae Ri is the new sci-fi movie queen and Ryu Joon Yeol in his element. I love the funny yet very charismatic character or Mu Reok.
The story was unique and my expectations for this movie was even exceeded.
I recommend this movie. I’ll be waiting for the sequel.

had high expectations!!
the idea was great. the concept was new. like futuristic alien sci fi fight with magic in a period drama hell yeah when i saw the trailer i was on cloud seven THIS IS IT this is what the world needed right now but the movie was good not per of my expectations but was good.:: what i disliked ::
i strongly believe the writer could have done so much better with the plot, especially in the first half. the movie should have start from kim woobin's character death while yian getting thrown off of the clif. his character should have been a cameo in the show. giving his character half of the movie plot that adds nothing (not even emotional depth) to the plot. and it also tells me that either the writer was a huge kim woobin fan or he/she didn't have much trust in her/his story. I'm sorry that first really just took me out of the "hypezone" i was in for this movie. plus the entire alien vs guard montage and red fogs spreading would implying that earth is done for would have been done better but it's still good so I've no problem with it. BUT villains were underwhelming. like how they introduced was so casually. they showed train to busan bad guy here and i already knew he's playing a major character that's how predictable the story is.
:: what i liked ::
yian, mureok and the two mages characters. they did a tremendous good job at portraying their roles. the comic timing was done well. and the fighting scenes in the climax oh IT WAS HYPEE. mureok should have been handled much better like i wish i could see more of his side story too but i guess we'll have to wait for part 2 for that. and of course KIM TAERI!!! she was just AMAZING! should have had more scenes (just like mureok) but part 2, part 2, i get it.
:: overall ::
this story should have been kim taeri centric. it's her journey! her story! she is the main hero! (well she still is the hero of the movie, atleast she'll be in part 2) this was still a enjoyable ride. 7/10.

Weird, but funny and fast paced
This movie is really different. It's an alien apocalypse meets old school wire martial arts film meets magic and mages with some comedy and action thrown in.Likes: It's creative and fresh. The off kilter comedy works. I didn't know Ryu Jun Yeol could be so funny. The stellar cast. The action and acting was good. It's fast paced so you don't notice how long the movie is.
Dislikes: The movie is just plain weird, but in a stylish sort of way. But it was so out there that I actually thought I would drop this a few times. It was the bits of comedy that reeled me back in. The mashup of genres took some getting used to. The CGI could have been better. All the separate subplots that set up the story took too long and was confusing at first. Once the story started connecting the dots though, it got way better and interesting.
I would say that this movie is basically setting up everything for the 2nd movie. So just when it starts to get good, it ends with a cliffhanger for part 2 which I will watch because I want to know what happens. Very curious to see people's reactions to this movie. It's one of those movies that I think people will either love or hate.

Eeeeh... ¿qué?
✨¡Hallo!✨ Hoy me paso por acá para hablarles de una película que llevaba esperando mucho tiempo porque amo a varios de los actores que trabajan en ella: Alienoid (parte uno, porque grabaron en simultáneo una continuación que todavía no salió).No sé cómo resumirles esta trama porque sinceramente no entendí bien cuál fue el punto de todo, así que acá está la sinopsis que encontré en internet (aunque parece que estamos todos en la misma): Durante la dinastía Goryeo, los taoístas intentan tomar una espada misteriosa. En la actualidad, los extraterrestres aparecen en la Tierra. Pronto aparece una puerta del tiempo entre el período tardío de la dinastía Goryeo y la actualidad. Debido a esto, ocurren situaciones caóticas.
Ammm... sí, no me gustó, perdón. Literal fueron más de dos horas en las que no dejé de preguntarme "¿Por qué está pasando todo esto? ¿Cuál es la historia que me quieren contar? ¿La trama es realmente compleja o solo me están contando todo de manera caótica?". Puede que yo no fuera el público objetivo para esta historia (la fantasía asiática de época no es lo mío), pero la realidad es que todo lo que fue pasando me interesó poco y me confundió mucho.
¡La peli arranca y ya da por hecho que uno entiende todo el contexto de lo que está pasando y no! Para colmo casi nunca dan explicaciones de nada... Aunque al menos los saltos temporales constantes no me parecieron mal manejados(?
Ahora bien, dejando de lado la trama, todo lo que es efectos especiales es una locura. Onda, la producción es una maravilla, no acepto otras opiniones. Y los actores son todos espectaculares (Kim Tae Ri brilla en todo lo que hace y me encantó ver a Kim Woo Bin interpretando personajes tan diferentes entre sí, porque hace más de uno). ¿Me sorprendió lo poco que aparecen algunos actores? Sí, pero porque hay una cantidad insana de personajes y algunos ni siquiera entendí por qué estaban ahí...
En fin, una película visualmente muy buena que lamentablemente no llegué a disfrutar por lo all over the place que es todo. Encima cerca del final hay un plot twist re predecible... No, no recomiendo.
¿Voy a ver la parte 2? Tal vez, pero no es seguro.

A viagem que é esse filme não ta escrito
Comecei a assistir o filme por puro impulso, pois tinha acesso a ele há bastante tempo, mas nunca tive coragem de assistir, sempre achei muito viajado. Sabia pouco do filme, vi trechos dele no tiktok, especificamente da cena daquele ovo alienígena soltando tentáculos nas pessoas, achei ruim. Olhei a capa do filme e vi a Kim Taerin, por isso baixei, mas nunca tive a audácia de clicar no play.Anos depois, dei uma chance, e meus amigos eu estava certa, é um filme para se ver chapado. Você não da nada o filme inteiro, até mesmo na ultima cena eu ainda estava desacreditada de como um filme com um orçamento, nas alturas não foi engavetado? Com um elenco de peso com ninguém menos que Kim Woobin e So Jisub, que só o cache deve ser absurdo. E oq dizer do CGI? Esse filme tem muitos efeitos especiais por ser fantasia, além do figurino que também não deve ter sido nada barato. O pessoal estava mesmo apostando nesse filme.
Internacionalmente falando, nunca ouvi ninguém citar esse filme, certamente não faz o tipo de muitas dorameiras. Com muitas cenas de ação e de luta, é um filme que com certeza deve ser visto chapado, ainda mais por ter 2h30 de duração com um final aberto.

Divertido e emocionante
Que filme fantástico! Ele é uma fantasia misturada com um mundo distópico e muito cômico, ri horrores! Acho que pra mim ficou enfadonho essa parte dos aliens sabe? Mas com a história e com certeza com os personagens ficou bem melhor, da metade pro fim quando eu tive certeza que a tae ri era a Yian eu fiquei empolgada e a gente viu o que aconteceu. Mas eu realmente não esperava que fosse ter um segundo, espero que venha logo pois já estou empolgada! Amei o Jun yeol nesse papel, dei muitas risadas com ele, um papel tão diferente do meu fav em replay 88, ele tava mais cômico, divertido, foi ótimo! Fique extremamente triste porque imaginei que o controlador estivesse nele ?, e ao que tudo indica ele vai morrer. Amei o Kim woo bin o nosso pai robô <3. Amei a quantidade de atores conhecidos nesse filme, me empolgou muito, o nosso thunder e os gatos foram incríveis também, gostei dos efeitos do filme e que não só vingadores pode destruir a cidade inteira pra um filme kkkkkkk. Enfim, muito bom!Was this review helpful to you?
MANO!
Esse filme foi maluco, genial, surpreendente. Uma história bem diferenciada, e bem desenvolvida, mas é necessário prestar muita atenção, por conta dos pequenos detalhes que fazem toda a diferença para a história. A Kim Tae Ri foi maravilhosa como sempre, a personagem dela foi incrível! Ryu Joon Yeol arrasou e Kim Woo Bin meu amor, nunca decepciona.Was this review helpful to you?
É um filme que me deixou bem perdida até o meio da história porque é muita informação para ser processada, muitos personagens, ou seja, a coitada aqui ficou bem confusa, mas não é uma história ruim.
Pra mim os efeitos especiais foram bem legais e com um bom timing cómico e de ação.
As atuações foram um arraso também, todos os atores entregaram bastante.
'Alienoid' termina em aberto com a mensagem "to be continued", e se não tiver uma continuação para sabermos o fim de toda a confusão vai ser muita cachorrada ?.
