JUNG_E MOVIE REVIEW
Streaming on Netflix and from the internationally acclaimed mind of Yeon Sang-Ho, step off the Train to Busan and into the post apocalyptic world of Jung_E. In the distant future, mankind has traveled into space to escape the desolate trash-ridden war-torn wastelands of earth. Three space stations were built to save mankind and just like mankind do, more war has erupted between the people that now inhabit the stars. A heroic soldier named Yun Jung-Yi (Kim Hyun-Joo) has become the pride and hope of the military. We’re talking huge victories over impossible odds resulting in a celebrity status that would even make Nicholas Cage blush, with cereal boxes, toaster ovens, action figures, and maybe even an uninspired christmas album. Eventually the day comes when Jung-Yi doesn’t survive her mission but her brain has been saved by the government. A team of scientists led by Yun Seo-Hyun with a complete lack of morals and ethics use her brain to create a platoon of perfect super soldiers called Jung_E. Bradly, LeWayne, and Dogget deliberate the ethics behind privatizing an identity for military action and monetary gain, ponder ethics behind a dead soldier’s rights in the face of billion dollar opportunities, and discuss which One of Us action figure would line the most pockets.
DIRECTED BY: Yeon Sang-ho
STARRING: Kang Soo-yeon, Park So-yi, Kim Hyun-joo, Ryu Kyung-soo, Lee Dong-hee, Uhm Ji-won
YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)
Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.
