Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds (2017) Hindi Movie Review

The Two Worlds is a fantasy movie with so many special effects that it could be a Hollywood production. However, that isn’t meant to be a compliment. Korean cinema has a quite emotional, intense and vivid vibe that makes it stand out but that vibe isn’t present here at all. In addition to that, this film is the first part of a new franchise like many Western fantasy movies as well but I don’t plan watching the sequel that is scheduled for this summer. To be fair, Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is rather entertaining and some of the flashbacks create an emotional connection with the main characters but it’s too little and too late.The first and biggest issue I have with this film is the shallow story. A firefighter dies, arrives in the afterworld and is told that he is an honorable paragon that needs to pass seven trials in order to get reincarnated. One never truly gets told what a paragon is and what makes this particular firefighter so honorable.
