Review

Solo Leveling: Reawakening is a unique theatrical experience that blends a recap of the groundbreaking first season with an exhilarating sneak peek at the upcoming second season.

The first hour revisits Sung Jinwoo’s rise from the weakest hunter to the only one capable of leveling up. While it’s a nostalgic trip for fans, the recap feels overly drawn-out—especially for those familiar with the source material. Despite the fantastic story of the first season, the recap doesn’t fully capture its energy and momentum, leaving this part of the movie feeling more like filler than fan service.

However, the second portion is where the movie truly shines. The preview of Season 2 is electrifying, with stunning visuals, top-tier sound design, and the kind of storytelling that had me grinning ear-to-ear. Seeing Jinwoo’s evolution in action, coupled with teasing glimpses of what’s to come, makes this preview a thrilling promise of an epic continuation.

If you’re a die-hard Solo Leveling fan, the preview alone justifies the experience – but be prepared to sit through a somewhat sleepy start.

Rating: 3.5/5

⭐ The Season 2 preview: 5/5

⭐ The Season 1 recap: 2.5/5
