Critics Consensus

An unhinged sci-fi epic that boasts awe-inspiring production design and amusingly quaint visual effects, Na Hong-jin's Hope gets the adrenaline pumping whenever it focuses on the unraveling of its hapless human heroes.

It’s all mightily accomplished and fun...until the antagonists reveal themselves.

The movie has a goofy, galumphing beauty; it’s a bigger, dumber, shinier object than its predecessors, yet it also manifests the crudely violent small-town comedy that is one of Na’s signatures.

Once the mystery of Hope’s villainous element is revealed, it all falls apart.

In Hope, a thrilling, terrifying first half gives way to utter chaos. By the time the credits roll, viewers will have no idea what they just experienced. And not in a good way.

9.5/20

… a nearly plotless, depth-avoiding machine that takes good ideas and bludgeons them to death with repetition, repetition, repetition.

7/10

Hope feels like an epic compilation of what director Na Hong-jin has been working toward, and it may be just the beginning.
