Alienoid: Return to the Future (2024)

An excellent wrap-up to the prequel's cliffhanger, no less impressive than Hollywood's best sellers.

If you want a good story and character development, watch a kdrama. This movie's all about one thing and that is brainless spectacle and comedy, with technical feats that prove Korean cinema can make movies just as action packed as American titans, a large part of why I had to watch how far we could go. Tricky camera angles, seamless CGI integration, no shortage of stunts and total disregard for any historical accuracy or scientific justification whatsoever. The protagonist's sword in this looks like an oversized Egyptian khopesh lol.

While the sequel does give you enough to know as a standalone movie, I highly recommend watching Alienoid 1 first if you haven't already, because to be frank these two films are basically one movie split in half. You miss out on half the cool stuff you're being sold if you don't bother with the prequel, and the cruelty of the cliffhanger of the first is struck down for good with the absolute conclusion of the sequel.

This movie is also recommended to watch with children if you have any to watch them with, and although there is a body horror element with the aliens doing their thing, the films totally omit the gross outs of juvenile humor, none of the violence revels in gore for shock value, and the only person who's going to get offended by the content of the movie is the kind of person who demands realism and depth in a quick flick about time travel alien busting with sword and sorcery.

Only thing I'm disappointed with is that the cool robotic suit of armor is underused in both films, it's like if Iron Man had to save on batteries.

Alien + Time Travel = Why not?

I really love this one- it's so much better than the 1st part, although we kinda need the 1st part to build up to where we are.

This one is more lighthearted, funny, action packed and faster pacing. I love the combination of sorcery and science, past and future, young and old, and everything in between

More than one plot twists and its real good. It's also touching in the end, got me in tears.

I love the casts too- like everyone of them did really well and play very important part

I become a fan of Kim Woo Bin after this too! Highly recommend part 2!

The much-awaited conclusion to a masterpiece

It was very entertaining, exciting and really enjoyable. The movie is very action-packed. Though, the sequel had its downs, still, it was able to wrap-up the two huge movies together.

The story was not as perfect as the first one. Maybe because the first one ended at a very high note and a huge revelation. This one immediately started from a recap and then the repercussions from the first movie. New characters were introduced in this one, however they were weaker characters than those who were introduced in the first one. The story picks up again when Mu reuk and Lee An met again. I actually find the chemistry between these two characters the best in the movie. The idea that Lee An softens and able to show care to Mu Reuk when she learned he was her long-lost childhood friend (very Kdrama). Then, the BIG PLOT TWIST happens. And, this is where everything becomes exciting again. The huge action-sequences were well-choreographed. All the characters fighting as one against the big bad to save the world, Whoo! I can say this can be at par with the Hollywood's action movies. The movie ended with a perfect conclusion for the two large masterpieces.

In the end, I still recommend this movie. I love Mu Reuk, he's funny, quirky, loyal and very lovable. And the BIG PLOT TWIST was VERY shocking. You thought you already knew what was happening just because you watched the first one, NO YOU WERE WRONG. Lol.

The questions has been answered

The long wait is over, the sequel movie is here to slay. Our narrow escape has been solved our agony in waiting four our curiosity has finally come to an end. Some say that the first sequel is better but for me its way more better than the first one. The all star cast makes it more beautiful plus its special effects are very stunning. The story continues as a matter of fact it has a successful ending.
I like the time travel effect which is very relevant to the story. I nevert expect it biggest plot twist all along I know the monster living inside the body is Mu Reuk infact Thunder used her body to save Yi An. The monter is living inside Yi An"s body for a long time.
I love to see Kim Woo Bind and Ryu Yun Jeol in one frame two of the hot oppas are here. I like their comedic side of characters here. They also show their heroic stunts in this movie.
All in all this movie really gives a good vibes, I can she the iconic ending wherein they won their fight against the bad guy.
I love the ending wherein. Mu Reuk follows his heart desires and go to Yi An's world.

I think I was too kind giving pt1 a 10, tho Kim taeri is a certified 10 every time

This was like a tv show that was cut into two seasons with a year gap, the story continues right where it left off but the memories were hazy, I remember the events but not the plot

My mom also watched pt1 I think😝 I think I was working and I made her watch. it wasn’t a watch with me so she didn’t remember it well


I feel like, acting and visuals were 10/10, the mix of time travel, historical times, and aliens was cool, but the characters lacked much depth and presence, everything was too convenient to wrap up the story from the start
It’d would’ve been better as a tv show with a bit more scenes at the end

The plot “twist” of the evil one being in her and the robot dad giving his powers to ml then thunder being the catguys was nice
But it didn’t give much time for character exploration, everything just fell into place to make the last fight

Mom wanted to see how he’d go back to her🤣 he got the taxi part but how will he know where she is?
And it’s kinda sad, she lost her childhood in the future and she’s back to her present as an adult and lost her dad/uncle dad😆
But atleast ml could go to her🥹

The Time is Now

The first part of the movie was a little better than this sequel, but I'm glad I have now seen the story to the end. The plot combines past and present well and provides a satisfying conclusion to this complicated but entertaining sf adventure. Everything somehow falls into place.

One thing that bothered me while watching was the emphasis on comedy. The film uses every scene and every situation for some stupid jokes. There is one joke on a treadmill that was so stupid that I had to laugh, but otherwise the goofy jokes were just annoying. I also think that the screenwriters were sloppy because the plot flows somewhat forcedly from one event to another without a sufficiently logical sequence.

The special effects are great, the fights are very good, the characters are charismatic. There are a lot of details that make the film attractive, so I spent a fun evening with Alienoid 2 but I still have the impression that the film could have been much better and more dramatic in terms of atmosphere if it had taken itself a little more seriously.

Um filme que entrega tudo

O primeiro filme me impressionou muito e esse aqui não foi diferente. Até agora me pergunto como eles uniram elementos tão diferentes tão bem. Além de uma história incrível o filme conta com ótimas atuações, um plot twist surpreendente e um final de aquecer o coração !!! Não posso me esquecer de falar que ele entrega comédia tbm e muitas cenas de ação mas, mesmo assim, achei tranquilo pelo fato de não ter cenas pesadas (com sangue, por exemplo) pois o filme aborda temática fantasiosa e toda "violência" contida nele é fantasiosa. Recomendo muito mas antes de assistir se prepare (muitas emoções).

Que final ruim

Ainda bem que demorei para ver o primeiro, pois pude assistir a essa continuação logo no dia seguinte.

Fiquei feliz em ver o Kim Woobin em mais de 2 produções no ano, depois do câncer ele ficou um pouco sumido, mas aparentemente 2024 foi o ano de comeback dele com força.

Gostei que o So Jisub não voltou como vilão, pois deu abertura ao desenvolvimento de novos personagens. Particularmente adorei os gêmeos feiticeiros nesse segundo filme, ainda mais depois que eles vão para o futuro e ficam presos na esteira, quase nunca vi alguma produção que faça o isekai reverso, por que pior do que ir para o passado, é ir do passado para o futuro, isso me lembrou a franquia de filmes De Volta para o Futuro, e aquele outro dorama com a namorada do Kim Woobin, a Shin Mina, Tomorrow With You.

Sobre o final, deixou muito a desejar. Fiquei com receio de não dar tempo de terminar a historia em dois filmes e ter que fazer um terceiro, pois faltando menos de 30 min para acabar o filme e nada tinha dado certo ainda. No fim das contas, conseguiram fazer o vírus não disparar, mas para que toda a historia do filme não se repita, a IA Thurnder explode ele, junto com o Kim Woobin pai, o vírus e o ET vilão, deixando a bucha para a coitada da protagonista. Levaram os gêmeos e o par romântico da protagonista de volta para a era deles, no entanto nos últimos minutos de filme o fdp do menino me volta para o presente e acaba o filme, pronto final aberto.

Ai que raiva, poderiam ter feito mais meia hora de filme, para mostrar os dois como casal reconstruindo a vida juntos, ou passar anos depois, para dar um desfecho real para a historia, mas não tinha que ter final aberto.

Outro ponto que não gostei, foi o fato do Kim Woobin ter dado o poder dele para esse sonso desse menino, que passou a vida inteira dele sem saber de nada disso e, fazer pouco caso disso. Além dos gatos não terem falado que na verdade era a IA Thunder quando encontraram a protagonista, se ele tivesse falado não teria tido metade do filme, pois eles passam a maior parte do filme procurando esse trem.
