By the time Colony’s un-Die Hard action swoops into its epic finale, you’ll be whooping and hollering like one of the undead horde. Go to Full Review Zachary Lee TheWrap May 27
Zombie projects can be smart, but this project seems too unsure of its own identity to fully commit to the zany ideas Yeon has in store. It would have been better to stick to being brainless. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com May 25
Maybe Sang-ho needed the confined space of a train to really hit his mark. Let’s get him back on board one soon. Go to Full Review Rohan Naahar The Federal 1d
A sporadically clever but ultimately convoluted affair, Colony is somehow both underwritten and overplotted. Go to Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast 6d
3/5
Colony feels like a mix of Yeon Sang-ho known works as well as a lens of current events. While the latter may not have been intentional, the genre's sameness weakened the narrative, as it lacked a compelling motivation for the premise. Go to Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast 6d
3.5/5
Colony hooks you early with its premise and strong setup, only to slowly lose momentum. Whether it’s the pacing or the runtime, it never quite delivers on the promise of its opening acts. Still, an okay watch all things considered. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
