The idea is undeniably intriguing, taking quite a unique approach within the realm of post apocalyptic features. However, the execution falls short of doing it complete justice, as the presentation leaves much to be desired. Followers of Korean cinema, in particular, would likely agree that this film does not live up to the exceptional quality they are usually known for producing.
The main issue is the tonal inconsistency of the writing. At times, the story takes on a serious tone as expected in typical dystopian stories, but then it abruptly tries to incorporate elements of dark comedy, culminating in a jarring blend that felt out of place and unnecessary.
