 2009 Lost Memories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2009 Lost Memories (2002) is a South Korean SF action movie, directed by Lee Si-myung.
Japan joins the permanent U.N. Security Council in 1960, launches the Sakura 1 satellite in 1965 and holds the 1988 Olympics in Nagoya (not Seoul), and Lee Dong-gook scores for (not against) Japan in the 2002 FIFA World Cup Japan (not 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan).
Anti-Americanism is also evident in the film, with the United States allying with the hated Japanese oppressor in World War II, and with the "JBI" (Japanese Bureau of Investigation) heavily modelled on the American FBI.

2009: Lost Memories had been hyped a lot, this was looking like the film to take the mantle away from Shiri but I am sorry to say that it turned out to be a disappointment; it is hard to say this because the first half really is enjoyable.
2009: Lost Memories is a huge production and aside from the two great lead performances the other stars would be the sets.

The first three quarters of this movie were a super cool mystery and investigation movie taking place in the year, you guessed it, 2009.
2009 clocks in at a whopping two hours and 14 minutes, however, had they run all the slow-motion scenes at full speed, I estimate this movie would be about 37 minutes long.

Lost Memories picks up its pace only when there are some explosions, light shows or other excuses for CGI effects.
The other thing that stands out in the memory after watching this film are the sheer number of crooks, freaks, and eccentrics roaming the streets and giving life to this modern day fable.
Every second or third gong-dang scene in Lost Memories winds down to a crawl, in some cases totally trivializing whatever it is that the scene tries to convey, in other cases compromising perfectly fine effects shots or performances.

 Movie Review - 2009: Lost Memories - eFilmCritic
And while "2009: Lost Memories" has its shares of plot holes (e.g., the Inoue Foundation’s illogical decision to display the ancient artifact in a traveling exhibition, the lead character’s visions, and the inner workings of a major plot device), Lee settles for a patently absurd, explanation-free, if uplifting, reunion between Sakamoto and a secondary character.
South Korea’s 2009: Lost Memories, a science fiction/action film directed by Si-myung Lee with impressive, if excessive, John Woo-like energy, takes as its premise exactly that bold, thought-provoking scenario, an alternate near-future where Korea remains a Japanese colony and Japan emerged from World War II relatively unscathed.
Ultimately, the flaws and shortcomings in "2009: Lost Memories" are difficult to overlook, but bravura set pieces and the central relationship between friends turned enemies (aided by Dong-Kun Jang and Toru Nakamura’s credible performances and onscreen chemistry) make it well worth recommending (and watching).
