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.

4/4

It’s not just an unhinged thrill ride, but a layered adventure with latent themes, including the tensions that come from being so near North Korea, and the true nature of the beasts that hint at something even more grand.

Hope moves at a rapid clip, delivering a propulsive genre-bender that only rarely pauses its nonstop gory action to catch its breath.

4/5

"Hope" comes out of the gate like a cruise missile and the first 90 minutes explode with well-staged action and nerve-jangling suspense. If he could have kept it up for the movie's 160-minute running time, "Hope" would be a classic.

3.5/5

What works in #Hope‘s favor is that humorous mean streak; it’s insistent that every tense set piece have its share of grim comedy, which does wonders in keeping the tone light amid the relentless, gory chaos

Hope has one of the most dramatic downturns from a great movie to a disappointing one that I’ve ever experienced.

This is an excellent film. My only complaint is that the opening dragged before the monster was revealed. A tighter edit in the first act would have improved the pacing and shortened the overall runtime.
