The feel-good part
The storyline and plot were impressive. The moments between a father and a son were also mesmerizing. The cinematography captured all the elements in a polished approach. The choreography shined best in the combination of comedy and violence.
The disappointing factor
When too many things happened at the same time, the movie didn’t make much sense. Too many characters were involved in a single event which was disappointing.
In-depth analysis
Stellar combines comedy with action elements and a bit of family drama. The melodrama had pleasing efforts with both good and bad moments. The movie combined car-chase elements with a road-trip aspect that had Young Bae was fumbling over almost every issue a driver can slip upon. Offensive drivers, mechanical issues, and impolite customers were willing to resort to violence to solve their problems. The action approach was comic, but occasionally, the scenes were violent. Other than action, comedy is another central aspect of the movie encompassing all other films. Young Bae’s memories of his father and childhood bring the element of family drama that occasionally borders on melodrama. The functions of the car possess elements of humanity.
Star power
The acting was pleasing. The star quality benefited the movie. Son Ho-Jun as Young Bae was outstanding. He played his role the perfection and enthusiasm.
Overall opinion
Stellar is a comic and heart-warming movie to watch. It is a fun and easygoing movie.
