Starring Kang Soo-yeon, Kim Hyun-joo, and Ryu Kyung-soo, JUNG_E is described as follows by Netflix: "Earth has been devastated by drastic climate change, and humankind migrates to new shelters in outer space. The civil war that occurs there continues on for decades, and Yun Jung-yi (Kim Hyun-joo) becomes a legendary mercenary and military strategist with countless victories to her name. But one failed mission puts her in a vegetative state. Kronoid, a military A.I. development company, attempts to create the ultimate combat warrior by cloning her brain."
"35 years later, Jung-yi's daughter Yun Seo-hyun (Kang Soo-youn) participates in this effort as the head researcher of the JUNG_E project. When little progress is made despite numerous cloning and simulation attempts, Kronoid abandons the research to launch another project. Seo-hyun learns of their plans and resolves to save JUNG_E. Thus begins the A.I. combat warrior JUNG_E's escape from the research lab..." Check out the trailer for the movie below!
Despite being the top title on Netflix, the critical response to Jung_E has been mixed so far. As of this writing the movie only has ten reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and only six of them are positive, meaning it has a 60% rating on the review aggregator. Empire Magazine awarded the movie a 3 out of 5, writing that JUNG_E "delivers where it matters: propulsive action sequences, emotive drama and grand existential questions about the human connections that sustain us." Movie Nation on the other hand gave the movie a 1.5 out of 4, writing that "There's little human connection to any of it, making for a rare soulless misstep for action auteur Yeon Sang-ho."
