Movies You Missed: Doomsday Book
on January 11, 2014 at 12:01 am
This is a 2012 Korean, science-fiction anthology movie with three stories. Each story takes place in the near-future and has to do with the end of the world.
The first story is love story with zombies. It’s very subtle and not gory at all. It’s probably the weakest of the three, but kind of creepy.
Next is the best story, which centers around a robot achieving enlightenment in a Buddhist monastery. Unlike most American sci-fi movies, it isn’t jammed with over-the-top explosions and special effects. It’s actually a smart short that explores the subject matter in some depth.
The final piece is a weird story about a little girl who somehow accidentally accesses an alien Internet and orders something that destroys most of the world. It’s got a weird, quirky vibe.
If you’re looking for some different science-fiction, you should definitely check out Doomsday Book.
