Watched it. It's pretty good, but overly long and has too many ambitions going on at once (it kind of shifts back and forth between a more intimate story of the formation of a family from a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits to a pretty elaborate and more bog-standard grand tale of corporations, sabotage and the fate of mankind) which muddles the final product a tad and makes it lose the edge to be truly great.
But it's a very fun ride, and the main cast of street sweepers oozes charisma and chemistry. Whenever the film is just on them they really carry it. Mr. Park and Bubs in particular steal the show with 0 effort.
Also the main villain is legitimately just Elon Musk, which is fun. The capitalist critique is always welcome, though I think the end of the movie makes it a bit toothless.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
Today Netflix dropped a new look at the movie, directed by Jo Sung-Hee, that gives us a bit more of that wild action and some very cool looking robots. But it also gives us a few more details about the plot of the film, which sees a crew of starship junkers, hungry for money, facing a surprising ethical dilemma: when one of their hauls uncovers a young android who also happens to be a terrifyingly powerful bomb, do they protect her and others from harm or reap the big bucks that trading her on the black market would get them?
