An absolute cinematic disaster.

In the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to investigate a mysterious creature wreaking havoc on the community. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Hope.

Counted the jumpscares in Hope. Lost count. Lost interest. Refunded the popcorn emotionally.

If exposition were a contact sport, Hope would be banned for life.

Hope should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Hope?

Honestly, Hope would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Hope actually is?

Just got out of Hope and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Hope is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the Hope performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Hope?

Look, I wanted to love Hope. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
