From what I can tell here in the ROK, the redeeming qualities the South Koreans look for in film (and computer games) are: computer graphics, cheesy violence, and lots of basic SF type stuff. By that measure, Transformers was pretty incredible and Avatar was just orgasmic. When not watching film, Starcraft is still the go-to. It seems clear, though, that they won’t be renaming their geographical locations any time soon.

It’s actually quite well made for a blockbuster who’s general theme has been done a million times before. Good acting, better then mediocre writing, and beautiful cinematography. But if you’re going to wreck your indie-film-hipster street cred for an American blockbuster go see Sherlock Holmes. It rocked my world.
