Critics Consensus

An unhinged sci-fi epic that boasts awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects, Na Hong-jin's Hope gets the adrenaline pumping whenever it focuses on the unraveling of its hapless human heroes.

B

Hope is the kind of movie that encourages talking around, in part that’s because it’s surprising, strange, and entertaining enough to make spoiler avoidance unusually worthwhile. That’s also not the whole story.

The director’s skill with action filmmaking and the highs of the tensest set pieces should have been enough to excite me for a sequel... But after throwing some thrilling opening haymakers, Hope doesn’t offer enough to really encourage me back.

Hope may not be perfectly even throughout, but it is unbelievable—in the best sense—that these kinds of deeply foolish moments can still happen on big screens today.

4/5

After a lacklustre summer, Hope is the palate cleanser that cinema needed. A heavy dose of heart and humour between thrilling action scenes, creating an original blockbuster that solidifies Na Hong-jin’s return to film.

The first hour is an edge of your seat realistic ride of monstrous proportions. The second hour has numerous revelations but gradually loses momentum and becomes monotonous as different permutations of chase scenes reign supreme.

Every ten years, South Korea puts into the world a really compelling monster flick, and this one, directed and written by Na Hong-jin, is another to add to the list. Yet, it's not without its flaws. Namely, it's too long.

first 30-40ish minutes were good. Each scene after took too long and the ending was pretty weird trying to set up a second movie.
