Professional Review of "Natural City (Japan Version)"

Well, I enjoyed it. It's not Blade Runner, but then again, what is? What it is, is an action-packed dark Korean flick full of body armour and chunky weapons, powerful bad guys and determined or tormented good guys, rainy streets with obligatory noodle stalls, and of course a plethora of beautiful Korean women. The sound will drive your ears out the other side of your head: the weapons go chunka-chunka-chunk or rat-at-at-at, the boots and gear make all sorts of noises meant to indicate they're being worn by heavily-armed dudes who will happily tear out your brain stem, and of course the various shouting, screaming, and assorted warfare sounds leave you in no doubt that this is not a romantic comedy. The lead actor, Yoo Ji-tae, can also be seen in the excellent Park Chan-wook film Old Boy, although in a very different character. Here he gives heart and soul to his role as R, an MP who's secretly in love with cyborg girl Ria (Seo Rin): the society here regards cyborgs as not human, and refers to all the girly cyborgs, apparently built for pleasure, as dolls. (Some might say there's little change from your standard MTV clip these days.) There's some lovely CGI, as you would expect from a cyber-flick, and the ghetto areas are suitably grungy, although not as extensive as they could have been (I suspect budget constraints). There's a lovely dancing-girl (the love interest), a uniformed computer-savvy girlie (also beautiful. But then this is Korea) and a cute tough-chick type. The male roster includes the obligatory mad scientist, the head of the MP team (who's also a friend of Yoo's character), a jowly government type, and several auxilliary blokes who are clearly on set only to be killed, tragically or humorously as required. Film nerds will spot plenty of parallels with other films. There's a bunch of stuff clearly borrowed from Blade Runner, a few scenes reminiscent of some famous HK films, and assorted other pastichery (since that's French, perhaps it should be 'pasticherie'). There's even a motorbike scene that was filmed in HK, unless Korea has recently acquired its very own HSBC building with the iconic design. But never mind. Overall then, lots of killin' stuff fun, some lovely CGI and women, and almost two hours of happy mindless entertainment. 8 defective AI chips out of 10 by Alison Jobling - heroic-cinema.com |

| Its a story of a guy who feel in love with an android who is about to be destroyed. The visual effects were done nicely. The story is very good. Not the classic one. Worth buying. |

Expect to see blood and body parts, and some scenes are vigorously dark. But, on the brighter side, the two girls are hotties. They're the utmost reason why I keep on hoping for something fresh throughout the movie. The plot itself is cold and underdeveloped. The scene keeps on jumping from one story to another, without any grounding characterization. This is my first actionpacked Kmovie, tho, so I don't have comparison of such. The action is good, but it's pretty much the usual with any other asian actions. The another plus point is that it has well graphed CGI representation of future world. |

| I think it my fault expecting it to be more of like a "hide from the police, and run like hell to save the girl I love so that I can be with her" kind of movie. It wasnt exactly like that. Maybe it was my fault expecting from more from the characters. I though there should have been some more love scenes. Sure they dont have to hug and kiss every 5 minutes but at times, they hardly talked. Plus, I think their love was suppose to be something special like, there was a certain reason why they fell in love. Like, maybe she had become more human with her time with him. Maybe she softened his heart- But it didnt seem like that happened. Maybe I need to look at it agian, but she seems so much like a robot. I really expected her to show some more human characteristics. But I think in the end, she kind of did. Also, what i did like was that the movie was so long, it had a lot of scenes that just dragged with that annoying girl. But I do have to say, the dvd start up screen is pretty sweet, kind of like the ending. But, I still think they marketed it wrong in the trailer. |

| If you are a Bladerunner fan then you need this in your SiFi collection!!! If you are a high tech buff then this movie has lots of it. It has great techie mockups of a futuristic environment any future architect/designer/gamer would love. Backdrops you would see in the movie Bladrunner and video games like the inside of a lab in RE or The Rise of the Dragon. Great story, action, girls and mood. -T18EL |
