Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ark is a 2003 US-Korean science-fiction action film directed by Kenny Hwang, starring James Woods as Jallek (with some additional lines supplied by Lex Lang), Kirby Morrow as Rogan, Chiarra Zanni as Amarinth, and Trevor Devall as the film's Big Bad Baramandanote the film also features Richard Newman, Brian Drummond, Scott McNeil, Tabitha St. Germain, Sandy Fox and Lee Tockar in supporting roles.Described as an attempt to address the failures of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and redeem the use of photorealistic CGI in animated films, Ark strives for reaching a broader, much more westernized target audience, while keeping the film's plot close to it's Eastern RPG influences. Not striving for originality, the common elements - the protagonist being The Chosen One, a spunky Anti-Hero, the film being a Space Opera from a distant galaxy, a treacherous advisor who is the film's Hidden Villain, etc. are all here, but somehow this movie managed to entertain far more than it should.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Set in 2204 in a distant galaxy, the aftermath of a great war over the ownership of Planet Alcyeon between it's inhabitants, the Storrians and Ceveans, results in Alcyeon's once-lush surface being reduced to a wasteland. The Storrians, winners of the war, terraforms the planet's surface with technology and high-tech machinery, while the Ceveans are forced to flee into the wilderness. But in the thick of the war, a conspiracy is discovered, a powerful dictator intends to use an ancient superweapon for his own selfish reasons, and Alcyeon is facing impending destruction...Much of the film is centered around Amarinth, the daughter of Commander Jallak of the Storrian army. When Amarinth befriends Rogan, a Cevean refugee who escaped Storrian authorities, an unlikely friendship happens between the both of them. Somehow, Amarinth herself is involved in a planet-destroying prophecy - specifically, she will be fated to stop it, and unbeknownst to Amarinth she is destined to be savior of both the Storrians and Ceveans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Uterine Replicator: Early in the film, Commander Jallak - then a sergeant - and his team comes across a Cevean laboratory housing numerous birthing pods. It was one of Jallak's officers deciding to simply machine-gun through all the pods, never mind if any of them are occupied by infant Ceveans, simply For the Evulz, resulting in Jallak being forced to kill both his colleagues in order to make them stop; and along the way, find the pod containing the infant Amarinth which he then decides to adopt as a daughter. | |

Towards the end of the film, the effects of Baramanda having Amarinth's DNA injected into his body to power the Ark took it's toll, with Baramanda's flesh bulging out through his skin, his veins glowing and pulsating, and much of his muscular structure overflowing through his face, chest, and torso. And somehow, he indulges in it. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The film ends with Commander Jallak and Piriel blowing themselves up to destroy Baramanda and the first Ark, while Amarinth, piloting the Golden Ark, carries the remnants of Alcyeon to a nearby green planet, sacrificing herself so that the Ceveans and Storrians can be spared. At the end of the film, Rogan, the only surviving main character, states that the Ceveans and Storrians had put their differences aside and will strive to restart their civilization in a new world. The End. | |

Body Horror: Baramanda have a swarm of worm-like "pets", capable of draining victims of their life-force turning them into skeltal husks, which he gleefully demonstrates on an unfortunate Cevean prisoner. The film implies he's been doing this on a regular basis. Towards the end of the film, the effects of Baramanda having Amarinth's DNA injected into his body to power the Ark took it's toll, with Baramanda's flesh bulging out through his skin, his veins glowing and pulsating, and much of his muscular structure overflowing through his face, chest, and torso.

Green Aesop: The destruction wrought from the war between the Storrians and Ceveans, followed by the Storrians' technological advancements, turned the once-beautiful Planet Alcyeon into a polluted wasteland, subsequently contributing to it's destruction. By the end of the film, the survivors of Alcyeon's destruction is shown restarting life on a lush, beautiful green planet full of vegetation. | |

Ambiguous Robots: The film doesn't attempt to explain if Amarinth's pet, Juju, is a living thing or a machine. It resembles a canary with organic features, it is clearly sentient and capable of obeying it's master, but it has a battery power source on it's back. Baramanda's Elite Mooks are humanoid, but their skin is clearly mechanical (evidenced by the clanging sounds when being shot at by Rogan and Jallak), their joints and movements emits mechanical noises, and they are incapable of speech, only bleeping. | |

Amarinth giving up her own life to pilot the Golden Ark as a vessel to carry the remnants of Alcyeon off it's surface, as the planet implodes. The film's ending states that she died, like her mother did centuries ago, to save her entire race. | |

Animesque | |
| Ark / int_db08a39d | comment |
Animesque: The film's animation bears close resemblance to the Final Fantasy games and typical JRPG, given the inspiration source that's quite intentional. | |

Public Execution | |
| Ark / int_dc0ca62a | comment |
Public Execution: Commander Rogan is subjected to being executed in the middle of the city square, in a mechanical Iron Maiden-like cage, with Baramanda's demands being that Amarinth surrenders herself in exchange for her father's life. It works, but not for long. | |

Human Aliens | |
| Ark / int_f4aeb714 | comment |
Human Aliens: The Storrians and Ceveans all look like humans, with some minor differences being having slightly pointier ears and sharper facial features. | |

Great Offscreen War | |
| Ark / int_f722f635 | comment |
Great Offscreen War: The war between the ancient Ceveans and Storreans centuries ago is never shown onscreen, only narrated in the film's opening by Amarinth.The Infodump does fill in audiences enough details about the backstory, about Alcyeon being owned by two warring tribes, the Storreans becoming the ruling class dominating the planet, the Ceveans seeking the ancient Ark to reclaim the world, and the impending doom Alcyeon will suffer because of the war speeding up it's core's inevitable implosion. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter | |
| Ark / int_fd1f1a63 | comment |
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Amarinth's pet, Juju. It looks and sounds like an earth canary, but with the facial features and expressions of a chipmunk, and can inflate itself to bounce all over the place before settling in it's owner's palm. | |
