SPACE SWEEPERS * (Netflix Release USA 2021)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Space Sweepers—WOW! What a nicely packaged, totally unexpected piece of entertainment. Spunky dialogue, awesome characters, terrific special effects, great stunt work—a razzle-dazzle to the eyes—this smart South Korean film, despite its complicated story line and some confusion behind the purpose of the story’s protagonist, completely involves its viewers. The film, very well acted, demands that its audience forgive the small problems and just enjoy the ride, and, indeed it is easy to forget all the small challenges and just sit back and choose to be entertained. The introduction of a very sassy robot adds flavor to the well-rounded script. Don’t miss this easy-to-be-missed entertainment piece.
