Space Sweepers, the new South Korean sci-fi flick streaming on Netflix, is so much more than the quaint title suggests.
Directed by Jo Sung-hee, Space Sweepers is Netflix’s first Korean sci-fi endeavor set in outer space. With the inclusion of likably offbeat characters and plenty of aesthetically satisfying visuals, the film successfully paints a colorful dystopian landscape.
The film’s simple and endearing premise paired with a self-aware yet campy execution makes for a wonderfully unique sci-fi experience. Right off the bat, Space Sweepers is presumably a bit different from what most fans of K-horror/drama have come to expect.
