jlo mein | 08-01-2016 07:30 PM | Saw this last week at Cineplex Coquitlam (don't know if it's still playing). Hats off to that Cineplex for showing new release Korean movies throughout the year, they've played some nice ones.
Unfortunately I think perception of Train To Busan is a little off. It's not scary at all; I hate horror and jump scares but this one is more tame than Walking Dead. As far as Korean summer blockbusters go, this is quite watchable and many would find it entertaining. Typical for Korean action it doesn't have much plot or character development, but it can be a fun popcorn flick.
I also noticed the Korean dominant audience laughing a lot more than I was. There's plenty of jokes and I think some of it may be lost in translation. Just an observation, doesn't really effect the film too much. |
