Overpowered but Flawed

"The Silent Sea" is a drama with a unique atmosphere, unlike any other. The idea of the plot is very intriguing: space, the moon, secrets, and mysteries.

However, in some moments, I wished for better execution, especially in the development of key story elements. The ending left a lot of unanswered questions, which I didn’t like.

As for the cast, I’d say I liked them more or less, but I couldn’t really remember the characters. I don’t think it’s the actors’ fault; perhaps if we had more time, I would have gotten to know them better.

Still, the atmosphere is so unusual and captivating that I definitely recommend watching it. If you’re looking for something unconventional and a bit dark, you’ll enjoy it.

Jack Sparrow comeback?

"The Pirates 2: Last Royal Treasure" is a great choice for those who enjoy adventure films with a pirate theme. If you're a fan of "Pirates of the Caribbean," I highly recommend watching this movie. It's like a Korean interpretation (in the best sense).

The main character, played by Kang Ha Neul, is particularly impressive. His character is incredibly charismatic: funny, a bit cringy, but at the same time very interesting and multi-faceted. His behavior and mannerisms are reminiscent of Jack Sparrow, which adds extra charm to the film.

The plot captures your attention from the very first minute: pirates embark on a dangerous journey in search of treasure, facing numerous challenges and enemies along the way. The film has it all—action, humor, unexpected twists, thrilling sea scenes, and well-developed characters.

This movie isn’t just entertainment but also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Korean cinema, which once again proves its ability to create high-quality stories.
