A Saga de Slyth

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.
