Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 15, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 15, 2021 Quote With Earth in ruins, 24 hours on the clock, and the odds stacked against them, a team of space specialists embarks on a seemingly routine mission to the moon. But when things quickly take a turn for the worse, they’ll fight for their lives and uncover secrets that make their mission seem more and more impossible by the minute. Mystery sci-fi thriller with a brilliant cast. Really looking forward to this... Available to stream on Netflix on Christmas Eve! @Bluewolf @Mel81x @Tommy @Batard @Viva la FCB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available to stream on Netflix on Christmas Eve! @Bluewolf @Mel81x @Tommy @Batard @Viva la FCB Looks great! As I'm in a Sci-Fi mood at the moment anyway, I'll definitely give it a go. From the actors I recognized Bae Donna straight away, from Cloud Atlas. And the sleazy guy from Squid Game. I know that other main guy too, but I don't know where I've seen him before. What is it with Korea conquering Netflix these days? Is it a deliberate choice from Netflix to support their Film/Series industry? I mean, it's a good choice as they often do great stuff.

Yes, Netflix have been investing heavily into Korean movie/series industry in recent years. One reason is definitely their aim to expand into those huge markets (Asia mostly), but I also think it coincides with the fact that western audiences "discovered" high quality and production value of Korean film-making, and demand for it is growing, especially now that Hollywood seems to prefer rebooting and rehashing old stuff instead of coming up with interesting new ideas.

I for one welcome our new Korean Film and Series overlords. Serves Hollywood right for rebooting stuff, or focus on a franchise like Avengers that has like 99 different movies now with all their different superheros. Or the same old Zombie shite over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 26, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted December 26, 2021 Really enjoyed it. It's not flawless, but a very entertaining watch with some interesting ideas and concepts. Very atmospheric and suspenseful. Loved the whole "exploring a mysterious abandoned moon station to uncover some secrets" angle. Hope there will be Season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actor who plays the captain of the mission definitely is, he played the mysterious face-slapping guy who recruited players for the Squid Games. I don't know about the rest...

MUFC 1,501 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Watched episode 3 this morning. Initially I was suspicious about the guy in charge of the teams. But now I'm looking at the main lady who was asked to change her profession to be on this mission. Episode 3 was on the spooky side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I watched both Reacher films and despite Cruise's small stature the story keeps it interesting. Not sure if you noticed yet am sure the author Lee Child was at passport control handing back Cruise's documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I noticed by you alerting me this is in the wrong section I will have to move it now into the right thread, no, I never noticed Child in the film?

MUFC 1,501 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I really enjoyed the sense of tension and mystery. The way they discover one dark secret after another is shocking because they're out on the moon and seem powerless to do anyth8ing about it. Is there a season 2?

I really enjoyed it too, but found some things a bit too predictable, so that is maybe my minor complaint about it. So far, there are no news about Season 2. It hasn't been officially announced, but I hope they will. The story is far from over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,613 Posted January 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2022 Just finished the first season. Some very frustrating illogical things happening. Like, the characters literally behave stupid as fuck sometimes. But it was still entertaining, and it had it's good and clever moments. So I enjoyed it for the most part. 2nd season could be intruiging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
