Strap yourself in for an epic two-part sci-fi/martial arts/fantasy/thriller of blockbuster proportions from Korean action master Choi Dong-hoon. See both films in this time travelling adventure for a double feature that will have you cheering in your seat.

On present-day earth, human bodies function as prisons for alien captives. Six centuries earlier, magicians and sorcerers compete for the mystical Divine Blade, which promises power and riches. When a portal opens between these two time periods, a spectacular entanglement ensues. Director Choi Dong-hoon (The Thieves, Assassination) has assembled an all-star Korean cast – including Ryu Jun-yeol, Kim Woo-bin and Kim Tae-ri (The Handmaiden, SFF 2016) – for a truly astonishing saga of spectacular scale. Watching Alienoid and Alienoid: Return to the Future together is a jaw-dropping and wildly entertaining experience not to be missed.

The movie is bursting at the seams, as if Choi ... was drunk on pure filmmaking pleasure and threw every cinematic genre into a gigantic blender
