A South Korean sci-fi epic, Space Sweepers follows a team of the titular scrappers, people travelling through space struggling to make a living off floating debris. However, they find a young, humanoid robot on board a derelict ship. When the crew discover that it is a weapon of mass destruction, they make a dangerous play and hold it for ransom.

Full of extravagant scenes, plot twists and incredible characters, Space Sweepers was one of the best kept secrets of the year. The special effects and CGI are incredible, immersing the audience the grand sci-fi setting. With the success of Parasite and Squid Game recently, Space Sweepers is an essential sci-fi epic to add to the ever-expanding popularity of South Korean cinema.

Aside from the impressive visuals, its the characters that really shine. The chemistry between the crew is tough to take your eyes away from. All the characters are relatable and flawed, without any two-dimensional performances. It is a brilliant film that deserves more recognition in not just Netflix's library but the whole sci-fi genre.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
