Directed by Bon Joon Ho (Parasite, Okja, Snowpiercer), The Host blends horror, drama, and comedy seamlessly together.
When it was released in the USA, The Host was dubbed over, oddly enough. Generally, I hate dubbed live-action movies because they're always so cheesy, but the cheese really fits into this movie, making it more fun.
The films lead is Kang-ho Song (Parasite) who does a great job, he is believable, likable, and humorous. I empathized with him, surprisingly.
I did wish that the pace was a little quicker and that the monster would've been in the film more. But in general, I enjoyed the movie. I would recommend it to fans of monster movies, but really I'll recommend it to everyone.

If you said the words 'Gerard Butler' and 'Comet' to me (or pretty much anyone else) prior to this, I'm sure they would envision some form of action movie, where Butler single-handedly saves the world.
In other words, I was expecting something like 'Armageddon 2.0'. 'Deep Impact 2.0'. 'Geostorm 2.0'.
This is nothing like any of those.
Instead, this is really a family drama, with the Garrity's selected by the US government (via random lottery) to travel to a safe(r) location when parts of the comet start striking Earth - things, however, prove not the be as straightforward as expected when they are denied travel due to their son's diabetic condition.
Personally, I also think it probably would have been better with the more ambiguous ending hinted at in the final act.
