Jung_E: A Thrilling Dystopian Film with Thought-Provoking Themes
Jung_E Review and Plot Summary Jung_E is a new Korean film on Netflix that explores a dystopian world where humans are at war. The film follows the story of Captain Yun Jung-yi, an almost indestructible soldier who is the prototype for an AI project called Jung_E, which is aimed at ending the war between the Allied Forces and the Adrian Republic. After a failed mission, Yun goes into a coma and her daughter leads a team to create an AI combat robot modeled after her. The film offers a fresh take on the humans vs robots scenario as several characters possess cyborg-like qualities. The well-choreographed action sequences are a standout aspect, typical of Korean movies. The plot features several shocking twists and turns, and the production is futuristic with elements of nostalgia. However, the film struggles with pacing and world-building, leaving some storylines underdeveloped and the climax unsatisfying.

The attack of the cinematic universes
With movie theatres ruled by a few big franchises, individual, one-off movies get less and less attention.
