But perhaps, the film's best assets are its visuals and technical achievements, which could compete with those from Hollywood. Budgeted at US$22.5 million, "Mr. Go" is reportedly the first South Korean film to be fully shot in 3D. The baseball games, the helicopter chase, and the rampage scene in the finale looked quite well as the detailed, animated gorilla appeared realistic with clear emotions and character.
In terms of story flow, "Mr. Go" moves in a nice fashion but lacked some character progression. The film also starts a little lousy with a simple narration but it becomes exhilarating until the end, where Ling Ling finally meets his match - an unexpected but familiar foe - in an epic baseball battle that best wraps up the movie.
Overall, "Mr. Go" is a good family film that won't waste your time. With an insane premise, visual marvels and a compelling narrative that will give you just the right blend of suspense, humor and drama, this gorilla movie has definitely hit a home run.
Distributed by Reality Multimedia, Inc, "Mr. Go" opens in SM Cinemas on October 16, Wednesday.
