This film has an emotional starting premise, and not much happens past that. It seems like this film would be about how the existence of Wonderland is problematic and how people should leave the dead to be, about a big revolt against the system by the AIs or the loved ones or about the adventure of a deceased person trying to escape Wonderland or make things up in the real world from there.
The latter happens in Bai Li's arc, which is by far the best and most emotional, but it has too little time to play out due to sharing the film's limited screentime with less interesting plots.
The Suzy arc has an intriguing set-up and some very real-feeling scenes in the middle but it's boring, though the ending is sweet.
The operators don't do interesting things in this film, except for in the end with the mid-credit scene. The problem really is that there are too many arcs, making none of them long enough to have an actual story that goes somewhere. And that while there are only 3.
But fair is fair, there are some great moments in the Bai Li arc. Especially when she interacts with Gong Yoo. That dance in the mirror scene was so beautiful, it's the kind of moment that makes you remember and want to like a film that is otherwise not noteworthy.
