The Korean sci-fi movie “Space Sweepers,” which many people anticipated, finally launched on Netflix, and among the unforgettable characters is the ever-adorable Dorothy!
The latest movie offering from Korea is Space Sweepers, a Sci-Fi film about a distant future where humanity has spread its wings and left Earth behind, firstly creating colonies in the sky, and then setting its sight firmly on Mars. At least that’s what it says in the infomercial. Much like Elysium, the world of Space Sweepers is not always so perfect and pretty.
And in this imperfect future of space we find our ragtag crew of the scavenger ship Victory, led by a sullen ex-pirate Captain Jang (Kim Tae-Ri), ace pilot Tae-Ho (Song Joong-Ki), engineer Tiger Park (Jin Sun-Kyu) and a repurposed military bot named Bubs (voiced by Yoo Jai-Jin).
The Space Sweepers Crew Launches Their Space Adventure
The story follows the crew of the spaceship named Victory who lives off salvaging space debris. These space workers are in the lowest class in the society and will do whatever, even dangerous tasks, just to earn money.
The spaceship crew includes the pilot Tae-ho (Song Joong Ki), ex-space pirate Captain Jang (Kim Tae Ri), spaceship engineer Tiger Park (Jin Sun Kyu), and reprogrammed military robot Bubs (Yoo Hai Jin).
