With the successful third launch of the Danuri-ho in May this year, South Korea is already making significant progress towards becoming a space power. What makes The Moon special is that \u201cit presents a story that is realistically possible under the technological prowess of Korea,\u201d director Kim shares.<\/p>\n<p>Another captivating aspect of The Moon is the intense survival drama built on thorough scientific verification and consultation. It depicts the isolation of astronaut Sun-woo (EXO\u2019s Doh Kyung-soo) in the vast and unknown lunar environment, his determination to complete the mission, and the relentless efforts of former flight director Jae-gook (award-winning actor Sul Kyung-gu) to rescue him. Their solidarity surpasses the 384,000 kilometers between the Moon and Earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe spectacle of the vast universe is intertwined with the story of humanity,\u201d says Sul Kyung-gu of the appeal of the film for him. \u201cIt is a movie that gives hope, courage and comfort,\u201d adds Doh Kyung-soo.<\/p>\n<p>The Moon, a gripping, emotional, epic-action, and one of Korea\u2019s highly anticipated films of the year, also stars The World of the Married\u2019s Kim Hee-ae. It opens exclusively in Philippine cinemas August 16. It is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
