Needless to say that I hadn't heard about this 2023 Thai sci-fi movie titled "Slyth: The Hunt Saga" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. And with it being an Asian movie, of course I opted to sit down and give the movie a chance. Sure, I didn't have the slightest of ideas of what I was in for here.

The storyline in "Slyth: The Hunt Saga", as written by Panjapong Kongkanoy, Nattapot Potchumnean and Tientan Petcharoen, turned out to be a storyline that felt rather random. Sure, there was an overall plot throughout the course of the movie, but so many of the scenes felt like random fillers, which didn't really do much to further the narrative. And that made sitting through "Slyth: The Hunt Saga" somewhat of a pointless experience.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. Though there wasn't anything outstanding, I will say that the acting performances were fair enough, taking into consideration the contents of the script that they had to work with.

There was a nice feel of a pseudo-cyberpunk feel to the movie. Though many of the items were just modified items that you could buy from Wish, Temu, AliExpress and the like. But hey, points for putting in an effort. And it actually did work out well enough.

I have to say that I found little enjoyment and entertaining in the narrative, and directors Panjapong Kongkanoy and Supawit Suwannet failed to win me over with this 2023 sci-fi action movie. Would I recommend this movie to fans of the Asian or Thai cinema? No, not really. It is a movie that felt rather bland and pointless.

My rating of "Slyth: The Hunt Saga" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

This is not a bad movie at all. Once you suspend your disbelief and come to terms with the CGI, it was actually done really well. The characters have redeeming qualities, the plot is good, the action is great.....if you are just looking for an entertaining movie, this was pretty good.

I am not so worried into the backstory of the Slyth or anything like that, I just wanted action. And.....there is some plot twists in this that were pretty good too.

If you want to watch a movie that is entertaining, this is definitely that. Dont expect a cinematic marvel and I dont want to say its generic. Its just good entertainment if you are in the mood for it.

If you are in the mood to criticize something, I am sure you will find plenty. If you want to enjoy it, you will.

I gave it an 8 to bump its score. Its rating is not fair to the quality of the movie.

It starts off with a promising premise a sort of Dr Who smog episode rip off with traditional car crash involving a small child or adult with issues type of thing.

It rips off Tron, Ready player one, Scooby Doo, Cyborg, Power Rangers and many others.

It fails to deliver on any of these rip offs and has a storyline written by either :

A) a drama student Or B) a failed drama student consumed with bitter jealousy

C) The special effects are quite good but the acting is dreadful and the writing is interestingly bad.

I liked it up to the point where it became children's TV.

This had so much potential and it literally dissolved before our eyes.
