Natural City (South Korea, 2003)

Two cops, R and Noma, hunt down renegade cyborgs. The cyborgs serve a number of duties, ranging from military commandos to "dolls", engineered for companionship. They have a limited 3-year lifespan, although black market technology has been developed to transfer a cyborg's artificial intelligence into the brain of a human host.

It's not hard to see that the director of Natural City is a huge fan of the setting in Blade Runner (1982) and the action of The Matrix (1999), and I would easily go as far as to say that without those films Natural City wouldn't even exist. But hey, those are some excellent films to take cues from when making a sci-fi film.

The film failed to please the majority of the crowd, but sci-f movie buffs should check it out. A tale of cyborgs and cyborg hunters, with a splash of spectacular violence.

Genre: Action/Drama/Sci-Fi
