Whilst coming in what appears to be an exciting sci-fi wrapper, what's inside, is a complete let down. Jung-E is in simple terms a woke bore fest. The action, when it arrives after many many minutes of thoroughly tedious female empowerment and navel gazing, is too brief and for this viewer, utterly unexciting. In summary, don't let the glitzy box fool you, there's little of any consequence inside.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/jung-e-review "JUNG_E is not what viewers expect. A war flick without the war, Yeon Sang-ho places the post-apocalyptic action in the background and instead focuses on a compelling study of what it means to be human with a touching mother-daughter relationship at its core. Despite some frustratingly over-the-top performances and one intolerably irritating character, the filmmaker's message is well-intended, clear, and meaningful. Unnecessary exposition and inconsistent visual effects don't help elevate the generic premise, but the impressive stunt work, epic score, and some genuinely captivating combat sequences make it an overall satisfying viewing."

Jung_E is a strange mix of sci-fi ambition and slow-paced storytelling that doesn’t quite hit the mark but still has some impressive elements. The pacing feels off, with long, drawn-out scenes that could have been used to deepen the story instead of stretching it thin. However, the CGI is surprisingly well done, better than what you’d expect even from high-budget Hollywood productions. Visually, the film is solid, but its world-building lacks the depth needed to make the story feel immersive. The acting is decent but not outstanding, and the script doesn’t give the characters much room to shine. The concept is interesting but somewhat confusing in execution, especially in how it handles the idea of AI and consciousness. It feels like the movie wants to explore deeper themes but never fully commits, leaving things feeling underdeveloped. The action sequences, when they happen, are well done, but the film leans more into its tech-heavy, philosophical side rather than delivering a consistently engaging plot. While it’s not a bad movie, it’s also not one that leaves a lasting impact. Worth a watch if you appreciate good CGI and a unique take on AI, but don’t expect it to be a game-changer.
