Alienoid: Part 1

[Opens Aug. 26 in theaters.] While a tenacious alien (Kim Woo-bin) in present-day South Korea and his robot partner (voiceover by Kim Dae-myung) oversee alien prisoners who are transported to Earth and merged into unsuspecting human bodies (So Ji-sub, Jeon Yeo-been, Hong Eon-nyeon, et al.) and then end up transporting an infant from the 14th Goryeo Dynasty through a portal after successfully capturing an escaped convict in Choi Dong-hoon's over-the-top, original, overly convoluted, action-packed, fast-paced, wit-dotted, nonlinear, 142-minute sci-fi film dominated by stunning cinematography, choreography, and special effects, mayhem ensues in both timelines as a clumsy martial artist (Ryu Jun-yeol), a Taoist magician gang leader (Kim Eui-sung), a mysterious gun-toting woman (Kim Tae-ri), and others search for a powerful, legendary sword in 1391.
