About The Antarctic Octopus
Due to profit-driven commercial scientific research by humans, it led to the emergence of retaliatory actions from a giant squid in the depths of the Antarctic against the Antarctic international scientific research station. Han Lian, a member of the Antarctic transportation team, gets involved in this disaster. In order to rescue Rosa and his teammate Qiangzi, he engages in a life-and-death struggle with the giant squid and ultimately manages to escape.
Directed by Simon Zhao, The Antarctic Octopus leans on a strong ensemble — Xu Jia, Chen Ruoxi, Zhu Tianfu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2023.
