not great, but i don't regret watching.

i had first watched this movie because a) song joong ki was in it and b) it was on the headline of my netflix homepage. i was intrigued by the plot about 30 minutes in, however i was a bit disappointed at the end. i expected a better ending. however the production/CGI was spectacular, let me say. this might be a bit farfetched, however i felt like i was in space. it was so so amazing, the CGI was. i maybe was paying attention to the storyline, but i do wish james sullivan had a deeper reason for essentially planning to kill over 1B people on Earth. the reason, if i remember correctly, was a bit..one dimensional?

Wow...what a movie.

Now, before I start, I just want to say that this review is subjective. It is not a disincentive for you to not watch this movie.
Real, is one hell of a movie.
Real, in my mind, 1st watch, was about--sex, drugs, gambling, mob, Kim Soo Hyun. The amount of unrealistic bed scenes in here was too much. But I understand why it was added for some of them.
Real is confusing for me. Now after I was done watching the movie, I read some of the reviews listed underneath here. It makes sense now why Real was so confusing.
If you're looking for a movie that has a easy-to-grasp plot, this isn't it.
The plot is here, unlike what other said. It's just difficult to find. The writer/director decided to create this movie in a difficult way, therefore only few know what the plotline is.
That's why I wasn't one of them.
I couldn't grasp the plot until, what, maybe 10 minutes left of the movie? I had only just known, then, that Siesta was a drug used to get high. The antagonist plot, I didn't get at all. But, once again, if you pay attention to the movie (which I clearly didn't enough), you will understand the movie at a better level.
The acting--Kim Soo Hyun continues to impress me. He portrays the two characters so differently--without changing their physical appearance. The way the two talk, smack their gum in their mouth, their eyes and how they act on their own, their reactions to events--they are different. And that's something that I was amazed by. Jang Tae Young was acted greatly by him.
