Kat Nap

4.5/5 stars (but Google doesn't have 0.5 increments) I just finished this Netflix movie and OMO! Wow. What a game changer for K cinema. As a long-time sci-fi fan, this is now easily in my top 10 films of all time in that genre. I love the reimagined Wizard of Oz allegory, dynamic plot, production quality, talented international cast, and richness of the elaborate multicultural world and full-bodied characters - amalgams of collective dystopian civilizations and all my favorite elements of some of the best sci-fi movies that have crossed our paths through the decades - 'Blade Runner', 'Serenity', 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'The Fifth Element', 'Total Recall', and many others. A handful of awkward lines as well as scenes with lukewarm tertiary character acting or mildly disjointed transitions do detract a few decimal points from a perfectly seamless viewing experience, but the magnitude and refreshing exhilaration of the entire film still overpower those and make it a must-see.
