Lucid Dream (2017)

Unique style technique 2 solve an abduction case

An american remake -Investigative journalist, Dae-Ho, is searching for his son who was abducted three years ago. With the help of a detective and a psychiatrist friend, he retraces his memory of the incident through the use of lucid dreaming techniques.

I was seriously entertained. The best thing about "Lucid Dream" is its lead actor Go's persuasive emotional performance as a father. The movie wins with thrilling twists .

VERDICT_ The way they present the concept of dreams is very simplistic and understandable. Fast paced screenplay is the major positive thing in the movie. And the investigation scenes are really nail biting.The way they portrayed the relationship between father and son is really impressive. The climax twist is decent.

The synopsis of the show sounds like a rip-off of the lucid dream concept in Inception. Unfortunately it is a poor attempt to replicate the success of Inception.

In terms of the story, on one hand the pacing feels rushed. On the other hand, I understand the need to dive straight in to the main crux of the storyline - the lucid dreams and follow-up detective work. There is a twist towards the end of the movie that honestly is not all that surprising.

Go Soo does a decent job and most of the other characters are quite ancillary to his character. But honestly, 'rubbish in rubbish out'. A good actor can only do so much with mediocre material.

A slightly entertaining watch.

Improbable, pero divertida.

Sueño Lúcido es una película donde destaca la interpretación del protagonista principal, así como los buenos efectos visuales que ocultan el cierto tufillo televisivo que desprende la película. La banda sonora también es destacable, y la dirección de Kim Joon-Sung firme y efectiva.

Sin embargo, cierta tendencia a la exageración a la hora de ahondar en el concepto de los sueños lúcidos hace que la cinta quede bastante por debajo de Origen, con la que comparte algunos elementos argumentales y estéticos.

Aunque si sabes perdonar este defecto, probablemente pases un rato la mar de entretenido, lo cual no es poco.
