Warning - I really liked this (to the point of thinking "best action film since Fury Road") but my partner was less impressed and was itemising plot holes and unlikelihoods on the drive home, saying it woulda been fine if it was a Resident Evil movie but not as good as Busan.
This continues in the same specific Korean Zombie-verse as Busan without any of the characters - four years after the collapse of Korea, four survivors return motivated by the possibility of getting enough cash to do more than survive as a sub-refugee in Hong Kong. Complications ensue after the arrive, including two groups of resident survivors, there's action and plotting aplenty and a suitably (over?)emotional finale. It may be that it's been a while since I've seen something with this level of action creativity in a cinema, and with a bit of scale to it, but I loved the hell out of this - it's ambitious and heartfelt and wildly engrossing for me.
