Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017)

Bienvenue en Enfer !

Que dire de ce film ? Je sais qu'il a eu pas mal de succès à sa sortie et qu'il avait d'ailleurs été traduit par pas mal de fansubs françaises. (Sûrement également anglaises mais vu que malheureusement pour moi, je ne comprends que le français... Oui bon, j'abuse, je comprends quand même un minimum l'anglais écrit x'D mais par flemme hein...)

Alors de quoi parle ce film? Il suit l'incursion de Kim Ja-Hong au travers des 7 enfers afin de pouvoir se réincarner. Son périple sera donc éprouvant et il se voit confronté à de nombreuses actions que les rois des enfers devront juger. Cependant rien n'est facile et malheureusement l'être humain commets beaucoup d'erreurs durant sa vie... Oui, il nous arrive de blesser sans le savoir ou de faire une action anodine qui influencera notre vie voir celle d'autrui... Parce que oui, l'être humain est maître de son destin et de ses choix. Il ne nous reste donc qu'à assumer ceux-ci jusqu'à la fin ! (Vous l'aurez compris, je ne crois pas au destin prédestiné ^^ enfin comme dirait ma mère "Tu ne crois en rien de toute façon" x'D !)

J'ai pris un plaisir évident devant ce film qui nous montre une autre facette de la vie après la mort et du travail de faucheur. J'ai également ressenti beaucoup d'émotions durant mon visionnage et je retiendrai sûrement le dernier procès qui était le plus éprouvant à bien des égards...

Overall “Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds” is a good movie and it’s easy to imagine why so many love it. Unfortunately the great concept they had going was lost in a so-so story and a main character that you, as a viewer, don’t really get to know.

But even though it has some major flaws, I kind of like it, I would be lying if I told you otherwise. So here’s some reasons why it isn’t an amazing movie, but why it’s still worth the watch.

The first half of the movie feels a bit flat in my opinion. The main character is put through these trials that are somewhat repetitive and don’t really engage you since he feels like a stranger, empty and lacking a clear personality. A problem that persists throughout the whole movie. It’s hard to care about the outcome of the judgments when you can’t really connect with the characters.

Another thing that is off putting with the trials, is the fact that they never get exciting or serious. You never feel nervous for the outcome because of how predictable and silly they are. I still, as I wrote previously, love the concept though.

In the second half of the movie you get to know all the characters a little better, better but not well enough to make them feel like 3-dimensional, full characters. Even though it’s still very predictable, you want to see how the story unfolds and if you are a crier like me, you might even cry a little. I must say though, that the comedy and the tragedy in this movie isn’t that great. They play on your emotions in the most typical ways and often fail.

What I really like about the movie is the CGI. Almost every setting and fight was nicely done, something that is rare for these kinds of movies. The great surroundings truly make the movie come alive.

So all in all, I think that they could’ve made the movie a lot better and way more interesting if they wanted to, but at the same time it is an enjoyable movie and totally worth the watch. At least if you are into things like the afterlife, reincarnation, angels and Gods. I know I am, but are you?

Just because a movie isn’t amazing or flawless, doesn’t mean it’s not worth the ride, so don’t let all the not-so-great stuff prevent you from watching this nice movie.
