My Review
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Honestly, I had no idea what to expect. I was just browsing through Netflix looking for a movie to watch and this appeared. I figured i would give it a shot and if it sucked, i could just stop watching. Admittedly, the animation threw me off at first as it’s not my favorite type of animation, but I got over that pretty quickly.
First of all, the music in this movie is amazing! I literally downloaded the soundtrack as soon as the movie ended and I’ve been listening to it ever since. Several of the songs give me the feels and sometimes even goosebumps.
The main trio is also great. Each of them has their own unique personality, but you can feel their bond as soon as they come on screen. They’ve been friends for a long time and their shared goal of sealing the Honmoon forever gives them a great deal of motive. While that is their main goal, they also truly love their fans and their jobs as idols.
Despite how superficial this movie may look on the surface, it explores deeper themes of friendship, found family and redemption. There are some genuinely heart warming moments along with a good deal of action and comedy.
I think this movie would also benefit from being expanded into a series. It would be interesting to know more about the past Hunters, and in particular how these three girls were chosen and what their lives were like before.
Other than that, I really can’t find fault with this movie and there fore rate it 5 out of 5 stars. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Kpop, Kdrama, anime, or is just looking for a good movie to kill some time.
