Are you ready to get swept away by Netflix’s upcoming outer space sci-fi blockbuster “Space Sweepers” starring Song Joong Ki and Kim Tae Ri?

Directed by Jo Sung Hee of “A Werewolf Boy” and “Phantom Detective”, this South Korean sci-fi film also stars Jin Sun Kyu and Yoo Hai Jin. The main trailer reveals that Earth has become a bleak planet in 2092 and will soon be uninhabitable. Thus, a pristine habitat was created in space for UTS citizens.

‘Let’s go make some money’

All the space travel has also resulted in tons of space debris. The crew members of Spaceship Victory live off salvaging this debris.

Crewed with a genius space pilot Taeho (Song Joong Ki), a mysterious ex-space pirate Captain Jang (Kim Tae Ri), a spaceship engineer Tiger Park (Jin Sun Kyu), and a reprogrammed military robot Bubs (Yoo Hai Jin), Spaceship Victory surpasses all other space sweepers.

After successfully snatching a crashed space shuttle in their latest debris chase, Victory’s crew finds a seven-year-old girl inside. They realize that she’s the extremely dangerous human-like robot wanted by UTS Space Guards, and decide to demand a ransom in exchange for her. In their quest to earn money, these misfits just might save the world.

Check out “Space Sweepers” on Feb. 5 at 4 PM Philippine Standard Time, only on Netflix.
