Comments on Douban:

科幻基金:

This deserves 5 stars just by looking at the source material and trailer! Too bad the actor for Kim Jong-un doesn’t look like him…I don’t know how they are going film the local scenes, did they have to reconstruct the glorious capital of Pyongyang?

This will be the last film made by Hollywood, perhaps it will be the last film made by mankind, and maybe it will lead to World War III.

All the drama that happened outside the film is already worthy of 5 stars.
