Review of Seoul Station (2016) by Late R — 30 Sep 2017
The animation is a little tacky and often looks cheap and flat with that distinct and unsightly CGI, 3d-ish feel, but the backgrounds are nicely done and play a big role in crafting the eerie atmosphere.
The story itself is a classic zombie tale that doesn't break any new ground, but is still tense and suspenseful enough to hold your attention, despite dragging a bit here and there. The characters are quite unremarkable people (and quite annoying most of the time, if we're being honest) who don't have the highest of standings in society, a specific choice made in order to be able to deliver some sort of social commentary which is where the film really makes a mark, giving you something to sink your teeth into.
It's bleak, gruesome and offers an interesting viewpoint, but it's the great ending that elevates this to above average, packing a punch and sending this film off on a high note.
