Doomsday Book (2012)
5/10
It's alright but not worth the 6yrs it took to make this

Warning: Spoilers
This is segment movie that has 3 different stories in one movie. This movie took 6 yrs to make because of budget issues and for a movie that took 6 yrs it's just mediocre at best.

The first segment is about a guy that eats a contaminated apple inside a cows intestine and turns into a zombie and starts infecting others. The biblical verse at the end of this segment doesn't make much sense for the context of this segment. It has a bit of Korean culture and dating elements but besides that nothing stands out about this segment. It's just zombies eating humans and the zombie population in Korea keeps increasing and soon they all get nuked at the end. Yep, hardly any substance besides the Korean culture and personalities shown in this segment.

4/10 This second segment is my favorite out of the three. It's like a mix between "I,Robot" and :Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence". Except this one has shorter budget and shorter length. The different philosophical theory is what drives this one. With the debate that revolves around enlightenment, spirit and machines. It's not one sided but both sides has interesting things to say which makes the debate even more intriguing.

7/10 The third segment is the end of the world by a giant 8 ball story with Korean style humor thrown in. The humor in this works way better than "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World". It's one of those stories where all the characters are awkward and the humor is awkward as well but it works. Since it's short it doesn't have much development and isn't anything special but it's passable.

6/10 5.8/10
