Weak Movie, Too Much Action
Hmm, how can I say this? It was decent at most.Yet another film with a post-apocalyptic premise, where the main threat is human instead of a natural disaster or wild animals. Wow, I did not expect that. Can we get something unique?
The introduction of the film is too fast; they might as well not show the earthquake scene. It was too brief, and the introduction of the seductive character isn't good enough. Secondly, how? How did the organization find those teens? How did the female sergeant find Nam San? Why did she need him? She specifically asked him and emphasized his name like she knew him but didn't bother to explain.
The plot is weak, with nothing interesting. The female sargeant (Ahn Ji Hye) and Suna (Roh Jeong Eui) acting is soooo bad. Especially Ahn Ji Hye, her acting is soulless. The action is brutal but at the second half of the movie, it became dragging, with to much action.
As much as I love Ma Dong Suk, I did not enjoy this movie. Not recommended at all.

ENTERTAINED ME...
The utilization of the same location as "CONCRETE UTOPIA" for the building scenes appears to be a curious choice, adding a layer of familiarity for viewers. While unconventional, this sequence provided an enjoyable diversion. The visual effects maintained a consistent level of quality, with CGI that, while not groundbreaking, was competent. However, the reliance on clichés such as the mad scientist, zombies, and transformed humans felt uninspired and failed to captivate. As a result, the film may ultimately be relegated to the realm of forgettable entertainment, lacking the originality needed to leave a lasting impression. Despite this, there's still some enjoyment to be found in its execution, making it a passable option for casual viewing.Was this review helpful to you?

What is even this plot?
The plot goes nowhere. What caused the earthquake? What is the mad scientists backstory? What does the serum actually do? How does it work? What are the main characters relations and how do they meet? etc. I could line up many more unanswered questions. The glimpses of any sort of backstory were directly told to us in an unnatural placing, and what wasn’t told to us is left to for us to guess with much uncertainty. I watched this for Ma Dong-Seok and was left disappointed as his character was so terribly written I somehow managed to dislike him despite the writers attempts to make him the righteous, unbreakable character.Was this review helpful to you?

wasn’t what I expected. Overall I enjoyed this movie
it’s not a masterpiece or a mind blowing film, but in general I enjoyed this movie. I was barely on my cellphone while watching, so that already a good point. The casting and acting is good. The actions/fighting scenes were also good, I didn’t expect this much blood and everything. It also not what I imagined before stating with the experience on human and the people become « monsters ». That was a surprise, I don’t know why I was just expected a girl kidnapped and not monster people ahahThe plot is okay, we already know from their first appearance that they are bad guys and that they would killed the older people. It was kinda predictable plot, don’t expect big plot twist. However, his daughter in the jar, that surprised me. Also at first when we realized that they weren’t dying maybe…. Anyway
Good ending though : bad people dead, happy ending, all our leads alive and happy. But I would have like to see the woman too with them at the end
The guy character with ML is really handsome, I was like I feel like I’ve seen him somewhere. I was right ahah he’s the guy in the upcoming drama The impossible heir… See you soon

Un film d'action post-apo entraînant
Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir vu Concrete Utopia pour voir Badland Hunters. Le film se suffit à lui-même et tant mieux. Si on sent qu'il manque un bagage sur les personnages, cela n'enlève en rien le bon moment qu'on passe devant ce film.Les scènes d'action sont excellentes. J'aime les univers post-apo pour des tas de raisons. Mais lorsqu'on ajoute de bonnes scènes d'action, tout devient plus intéressant. Badland Hunters n'est pas avare et offre tout un spectacle. Les scènes sont à la fois visibles, explosives et rapides, mais aussi d'une fluidité impressionnante.
Qu'on le compare à Mad Max, en revanche, me fait un peu hausser un sourcil. Parce que je suis une grande fan de la franchise de George Miller, mais aussi parce qu'à mes yeux, le film n'a que son genre post-apo en commun. Donc, non. N'attendez pas un Mad Max coréen, ce serait trompeur.
Le casting est superbe. De Ma Dong Seok en tant que boxeur sans pitié. Lee Jun Young qui amène la pointe d'humour, mais se révèle plus profond qu'il n'y paraît. Ahn Ji Hye qui casse des gueules avec classe. Et bien sûr Lee Hee Jun en tant que médecin fou, mais où son personnage s'avère plus développé qu'il n'y paraît.
Quoiqu'il en soit, Badland Hunters est un film d'action post-apo simple et efficace avec des scènes de combat spectaculaires.

Um filme pós-apocalíptico bem clichê com cenas de ação e muito gore.
Após um terremoto que colapsou o mundo (do filme), sobreviventes tentam viver em condições precárias devido a escassez de recursos. Grupos violentos raptam pessoas jovens e um grupo, tal qual uma seita religiosa, também está a procura de pessoas jovens prometendo a suas famílias o paraíso em meio ao caos. Mas a verdade por trás desse "paraíso" são experimentos de um cientista louco que busca trazer de volta a vida sua filha morta.Para assistir a este filme é preciso ter muita suspensão de descrença porque há muitas coisas absurdas no enredo, por exemplo, nosso protagonista não é apenas bom de briga, ele também tem uma força acima da média que me levou a questionar se ele também tinha alguma espécie de mutação. Além de um grupo de três pessoas terem conseguido derrotar um exército teoricamente bem organizado e armado.
Mas gostei que a protagonista feminina, a adolescente que foi levada ao complexo dos apartamentos, não era uma garotinha bobinha esperando para ser resgatada. Claro, o grupo foi resgatá-la, mas não se deixou enganar totalmente pelas falsas promessas e conseguiu resistir até onde era possível aos experimentos do cientista.
Um filme para passar tempo, se você gosta de ação, umas boas cenas de lutas e muito gore. Mas não espere muito além disso.
