‘Alienoid’ Review – One of Us

Can this bonkers Korean sci-fi movie be described? Find out in the One of Us crew’s Alienoid review.

Do you want a movie about a cyborg alien guard and his robot sidekick assigned to monitoring and capturing extraterrestrial prisoners hiding here on Earth inside human brains? How about one that takes place in the 14th and 21st centuries with characters able to cross time and space in a souped-up, sentient sports utility Jeep that can double as a spaceship?

How about one that has a baby girl rescued in the past and brought to the future and raised by the cyborg and robot but has grown a bit too witty and curious and has figured out her “Dads” might actually be from another planet? How about impressive Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Wire-Fu enhanced by expert hand-to-hand martial artist actors and PlayStation 4 CGI?

Not enough yet? Okay! How about a movie that has competing bounty hunter wizards in the Korean Goryeo Dynasty who can bend air, pull swords from fans, mutate kittens into people, and use sci-fi tech to create forcefield prisons? Or maybe you want a movie about an alien invasion of a major city where tentacle creatures possess humans and a space hero has to CGI boss battle his evil counterpart while preventing a widespread gaseous explosion that may render all of Seoul helpless against the malevolent force?

Or, ya know what? How about we put ALL of that into one movie? Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Alienoid Review

Tessa, Chad, Lewayne, and T.C. are here to review that actual film. But maybe, just maybe there’s a way to do an entire MCU Phase of plot in one film and succeed. Does Alienoid do that? The Squad is here to tell you.
