The oil drilling excavations end in failure and headquarters gives the order to withdraw.
Captain Jeong-man is sent to oversee the crews withdrawal from the Eclipse.

7 gwanggu (2011) Review by Jaho Koo from South Korea
It's hard to give a movie a 10 out of 10. And it's even harder to givea movie a 1 out of 10. Why? Because even the worst of films have a tinylittle element to praise. 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' issomething I consider to be one of the worst films I've ever seen (andI've watched Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus!)...yet that movie had goodCGI (too much of it but still good in terms of visuals).
But here comes 'Sector 7', the first 3-D movie to be released in SouthKorea. I am Korean and I assure you that Americans are more likely tolike this movie...because English subtitles will definitely hide theterrible dialogue in this movie.
"Monster....monster...." says Ha Ji Won when she first sees this globof CG. Then Sung Kee Ahn grabs a gun. First of all there would be noguns on an oil mine in Korea and second of all this reaction is stupid.Why would anyone believe there'd be a monster on board? What's worse isthe doctor on the ship speculates that the gooey substance the monsterleaves behind is semen. What kind of doctor is this?!
We don't see the monster until we get tired of this movie. What I meanby that is we get boring exposition we don't care about. None of thecharacters are interesting; they are just typical monster food. I am ofcourse talking about the girl who won't shut up, the playful boyfriendwho will become overprotective when the situation gets serious, theseemingly wise old man who knows how to use a gun, an obnoxious retardwho's blamed for all the damage the monster is responsible for.
We finally see the monster about half way into this movie. A good movielike 'Alien' will use this technique by creating suspense. There is nosuspense here. When the monster is finally revealed you will wish youhadn't seen it. Not because it's scary but because the CG is faker thanfake. I'm not just talking about the looks (which is terrible), I'malso talking about its mechanical movement. But I should've knownbetter when the opening CG sequence was pathetic. The 1980's flashbackin Sector 7 should give you an idea of how poor the special effects arein this movie.
And why was this movie in 3D? Yeah I know we get one scene where themonster's tail shoots right out of the screen but that was like 0.3seconds and this is a movie that is longer than it needs to be.
This movie tries to be everything. It tries to be 'Alien' (we'll get tothat later). It tries to be a comedy (the audience laughed once inthroughout this movie). It tries to be dramatic. None of the deaths aresatisfying, none of them evoke any sort of emotion (whether sadness orfear or relief).
The worst part of the movie is the climax. Here we have the main leadgirl fighting with the monster head to head in a factory. Soundfamiliar? I don't mind a movie imitating a classic in order to createcheap thrills but this just fails to entertain the slightest bit. Andbesides all I'm doing is looking at my watch.
And don't make me mention the motorcycle scenes because they were sorandom and so stupidly tied into the end. Even in the trailers; whatwas the girl planning to do with the motorcycle? Just ram it into thegiant monster?
This could've been a legit monster movie. The setting was pretty good;it's an oil mine in the middle of a vast ocean. And also there are somemoral issues incorporated into the monster (not spoiling anything). Butthe hollow characters and the actors who take themselves too seriouslyruin this film completely. The action sucks, the CGI sucks. One of theWORST movies I've seen in my life.
Do not let this movie effect your perception towards Korean movies.Even we know it's bad.
7 gwanggu (2011) Review by moviexclusive from Singapore
Bong Joon-ho's critical and commercial success 'The Host' set a goldstandard for creature features in South Korea, but it isn't simplybecause of this genre predecessor that 'Sector 7' rode on a tidal waveof expectations prior to its release. Nonetheless, that wave crashedbefore it even reached shore- overwhelmingly negative criticalreception and soon after audience reception all but ensured that'Sector 7' never became the monster box-office hit it was supposed tobe back in its home territory.
It's unfortunate that the bar was already set unrealistically high forthe movie even before it opened. Indeed, director Kim Ji-hoon'sfollowup to his well-received 2007 historical epic 'May 18' is reallyjust a well-made B-monster movie, without the kind of smartscriptwriting needed for it to meet critic and audience expectations.Sure it doesn't have what it takes to be outstanding, but those lookingfor some good old straightforward thrills will find that 'Sector 7'delivers those just fine.
In case you're wondering, the title of the movie refers to acontinental shelf off Jeju Islands that was thought to hold massive oiland natural gas reserves. Its sovereignty was the focus of diplomaticrelations between South Korea and Japan in the 1970s, with both nationseager to exploit it for its resources. The history behind the stretchof ocean may add a dose of reality for those who have lived long enoughthrough the tenacious two-party negotiations, but any hopes that thismay make for some intelligent social commentary in the movie-especially considering the energy crisis facing the world today- shouldquickly be set aside.
Instead, screenwriters Kim Hwi and JK Youn opt for a standardbare-bones character setup before unleashing the monster. The mostdeveloped character among the lot is Hae-jun (Ha Ji-won), a headstrongfemale engineer atop an offshore oil rig at loggerheads with hercaptain who believes their expedition is a fruitless one. Next toHae-jun is that of her mentor Master (Ahn Sung-ki), who arrives on therig after the order to vacate and convinces the captain it might beworthwhile to persevere. Other than Hae-jun and Master, the others areno more than prey - including Hae-jun's boyfriend Dong-su (Oh Ji-ho),best buddies Sang-gu and Jong-yun (Park Chul-min and Song Sae-byeok)and socially awkward Chi-sun.
It takes about half an hour before things start to go awry, and by thatpoint, besides confirming the audience's suspicion that Master isn't asworthy as he seems to be, Ji-hoon is content to let the action takecentre-stage. So one by one, these characters will find themselveshunted by the monster and eventually meet their demise, until of coursejust Dong-su, Master and Hae-joon are left standing. Ji-hoon reservesthe film's single longest climactic sequence for them, substituting thenarrow passageways beneath the rig where most of the earlier actiontakes place for the wide open expanse on the platform. Logic and reasonare not required from the start of the unrelenting action up till theend- all Ji-hoon demands of his audience is to sit back and let theadrenaline kick in.
At least in this regard, Ji-hoon delivers where it counts, aided by noless than his lead actress Ji-won, who has been dubbed Korea's AngelinaJolie after performing all her own stunts in this film. Seeing Ji-wonin the thick of the action, especially when she gets on a motorbike andzips along the platform with the beast fast behind her, is thrilling tosay the least- though that very standout sequence is somewhat marred bysome not-so-good CGI betraying the green screen against which it wasshot. Nonetheless, she is more than convincing as a female action hero,and one only hopes that the writers had spent more time with hercharacter to make it equally memorable.
Certainly, if even Hae-joon comes off one-dimensional, you can be surethat the monster will only fare worse. The purpose behind the monster'spursuit of its prey is never clearly defined, since it neither seems todevour them or bring them back to its nest where its embryos laycocooned in some gooey mess. The latter's reference is also pointless,since the film makes no attempt to weave it into the story after only abrief scene. And even if it isn't meant to make much sense, the leap oflogic the film demands from its audience when the monster is explainedto be from the chemo-synthetic (read: deep-sea) ecosystem but spends somuch of its time out of the water is just too glaring to ignore.
It doesn't help too that Ji-hoon reveals the monster in its entiretytoo early into the film, abandoning any attempt at building audienceanticipation all too quickly. The decision to rely on a homegrowneffects studio (as opposed to a foreign one like 'The Host' did) mightbe worth touting for their local audience, but you're likely to comeoff thinking that the CG work is nothing remarkable. The same can alsobe said of the 3D in the movie, which lends depth to certain scenes,but arguably not in the action-heavy ones that matter,
You'll understand why then the disappointment that 'Sector 7' was metwith when it was released back in its home territory, since it lacksthe smart scriptwriting and sharp direction needed for it to becomeanother classic like 'The Host'. Instead, it is a perfectly genericcreature feature, offering nothing more than B-grade movie thrills thatwould probably still satisfy an undemanding audience. But since itprobably doesn't have to live up to such lofty expectations here,'Sector 7' will do just fine as a no-frills action adventure-forgettable ultimately but thrilling and entertaining enough while itlasts.
7 gwanggu (2011) Review by lost-in-limbo from the Mad Hatter's tea party.
Underwater monster features making a comeback… here's hoping. Thewell-produced Korean horror feature "Sector 7" won't win any awards asit's a formula that's well worn in its surprises, but its genericformat will always entertain if done properly. On this occasion, itdoes that for most part. A small crew on an isolated oil rig in theregion of sea, known as "Sector 7" fail to find oil, but insteaddiscover a viral life form that infiltrated the rig through thedrilling pipe transforming into a killing machine. However there's moreto this creature with secrets being revealed. After a slow build-upsetting up characters, dramas and the awaiting predicament it succumbsto its undemanding popcorn monster mayhem. You could say it gets betteras it goes along. The tempo picks up, the violence is aggressivelypitched, survival mode kicks in and special effects get extravaganttreatment. On the latter, the quality of the CGI was a complete mixedbag. Sometimes acceptable, other times poorly conceived that it cantake you out of the mood with its parading. However it was made for 3D.Watch as one climatic standoff is finished off with another and thenanother. This beast isn't easy to dispose off and it seems to come offin the thrill stakes with many spectacular encounters. The oil rigsetting is an imaginative choice, blending special effects (screechingtrail bikes) and set-designs to develop a confined, dank and remoteatmosphere. Technically quite strong and a clean crisp look with aworkable premise, but the script is dumb down and consists of someactions of annoyance. The performances won't set the world alightdespite some eccentric and quirky support; however Ji-won Ha'sharden-tomboy character really does hold it all together. Not perfect,still a fun and flashy monster throwback.
"There's a monster on the rig!"
