Save the Green Planet! Reviews
Additionally featuring a great finale, and a number of twists better left unsaid in this review, "Save the Green Planet" is a masterpiece curio, and at the same time, so much more.

Clearly designed to win a cult following, its "chuck everything, including the kitchen sink in" approach to weirdery treads a fine line between "endearingly bat's-arse" and "trying a bit too hard".

Punk graphics and a snaking camera add zest to the story, which is alternately heartbreaking, suspenseful, and darkly funny.

Part thriller, part dark comedy, part sci-fi epic, Save the Green Planet is both insanely addictive and completely insane.

The film oscillates between wild humour, suspense, horror and pathos, sometimes all in one shot. It's quite something.

Save the Green Planet may look like an ironic, jet black comedy -- and it succeeds brilliantly on that level -- but in it's sad and wistful heart, it's a completely sincere call for saving the Earth.

Wrapped up in all this madness is an affecting human core.

Save the Green Planet just can't shake its repellent, stagnant mood.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 9, 2005
Save The Green Planet has a free-ranging mood, mixing tragedy and comedy irregularly, but Jeong's film is equally free with genre, and entertains its audience openly before pouring on the astringent.

Writer/director Jang Jun Hwan has an imagination to be envied, and luckily he knows how to deploy it to full effect
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 14, 2005
All this melodramatic wackiness might be entertaining B-movie material if it weren't dragged down by boringly deadly battles between cartoon characters.

Like any roller-coaster ride, it may make you queasy, but you'll never be bored.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 5, 2005
Made up of equal parts whimsy and dementia, Jang Jun-hwan relentlessly pushes his story of madness, revenge and petty power plays to the limit.
| Original Score: B- | Aug 4, 2005
Demented yet somehow humane, Save The Green Planet is a visually ingenious hybrid melding horror, black comedy, revenge thriller and science fiction into an unpredictable, cohesive whole.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 22, 2005
While Save The Green Planet has a certain cult appeal for its wicked, subversive tone, it is such a mess in terms of tone and storyline that it may lose most viewers before they get to the end.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 22, 2005
Entertaining, visually inventive and truly out-there.
