Member whitesnake Posted July 17, 2020 Member Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) https://variety.com/2020/film/asia/korea-peninsula-box-office-asia-cinema-return-1234708158/ - July 16, 2020. "South Korean zombie action film "Peninsula" made a blistering start in cinemas across Asia. It is the highest-profile, first-run summer tentpole to have released since the coronavirus forced many cinemas in the region to close." So far Peninsula has opened in South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. Next week it is expected to open in Thailand and Vietnam. Peninsula is not playing in Hong Kong, since the theaters there have just been shut again. Peninsula probably will not play in China, due to a Chinese "semi-official boycott of Korean cultural goods," for the past two years. Well Go USA has North American rights to Peninsula, which may be opening at select theaters on August 7, 2020. https://www.instagram.com/peninsula.movie/ and https://www.wellgousa.com/films/train-to-busan-presents-peninsula Edited July 18, 2020 by whitesnake 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted August 11, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted August 11, 2020 I checked this one out in the cinema over the weekend (my first visit to one since this whole pandemic began, and it couldn't have been a more apt choice ), and definitely enjoyed it a little more than the vastly overrated 'Train to Busan'.

Member morpheus Posted August 16, 2020 Member Share Posted August 16, 2020 Train to Busan (2016: Yeon Sang Ho) South Korea It was much more than just a horror film; it really dove into the characters...that's what made me like this film. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member laagi Posted September 1, 2020 Member Share Posted September 1, 2020 Peninsula pretty much sacrifies everything which made Train to Busan special to deliever a hollywood style action spectacle. That's not to say it's a bad thing as I was well entertained. Unfortunately it is weighed down by some pretty cheap looking set pieces and CGI, which do take you out of the epxerience one too many times. Also the ending is overly long and probably by now is expected overly dramatic... a real tear jerker. What they seem to forget is that in order for this to work you need characters to care for which I honestly didn't. Lots of recent korean productions seem to target an international audience and love to include some english dialogue. Peninsula does try the same and it's just plain bad at times. Anyway, all things considered it's entertaining popcorn cinema. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted September 3, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2020 I just finished giving this a view a little while ago. It is completely different to Train To Busan but it is a fun ride, I enjoyed it. The wife really enjoyed it and she was rooting for Lee Jung-hyun, that last 5 minutes was a big tear jerker for the wife. And yes the English dialogue is terrible. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Yihetuan Posted October 27, 2020 Member Share Posted October 27, 2020 Finally got around to watching this and I have to agree with the comments already posted above especially @laagi. It didn't have what made Train to Busan seem like a breath of fresh air in the zombie genre but still an entertaining way to spend a couple hours. I still feel that director Yeon Sang-ho's best works are his early animated works but of course, Train to Busan was very good and I felt Psychokinesis was very underrated too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DarthKato Posted February 16, 2021 Member Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just got through watching "Train to Busan(2016)": Now this was a really good zombie movie. Man, this movie kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. Also, while I thought all the actors/actress did a fantastic job, Ma Dong-Seok really stood out as the bad*ss Sang-Hwa. At one point, this dude literally picks up a zombie and bashes it against the ceiling of the train! So yeah, defiantly a recommend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speaking of All Of Us Are Dead, I was very disappointed it ended in a way that makes it hard to have a second season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
