Meow is a 2017 movie that tells the charming story of an alien cat, Simulu, on a mission to collect crucial information about Earth before it faces destruction. However, through a heartwarming series of events, Simulu finds himself adopted by a human family and ultimately concludes that humanity deserves to be saved.
In a distant galaxy lies the beautiful planet of Meow, populated by highly evolved feline creatures. Unfortunately, this planet resides in a perilous meteorite zone, leading to its decline. King Meow, recognizing the need to assess the conditions on Earth for potential habitation, sends a group of soldiers on a reconnaissance mission. However, these soldiers vanish without a trace after being treated as gods by humans.
Thousands of years later, King Meow decides to send his most distinguished warrior, Simulu, on another mission to evaluate Earth. Armed with the power of the Meow warriors through a special artifact, Simulu travels to Earth. He must gather information and, if necessary, prepare for an invasion.
In Hong Kong, we meet Su Lung, a retired goalkeeper struggling to adapt to life as a soccer commentator. After losing all his savings, he starts selling various products to support his family. His wife, Lai Chu, is an aspiring actress who ends up taking care of their two children: Yao Choi, the trickster eldest son with dreams of film directing, and Yao Yao, the youngest daughter who courageously copes with a disability in her leg.
On one fateful day, after a mishap, Simulu crash-lands on Earth and loses his much-needed artifact. Meanwhile, Su Lung, tasked with caring for Mr. Lam's cat, unwittingly brings Simulu into his home. The cat's appearance leads to a series of comical and chaotic situations as the family grapples with the strange, oversized feline.
Despite initial fear from the family, Yao Yao quickly bonds with Simulu, whom she names Sai Sai Lay. As the cat attempts to navigate life on Earth, it disrupts the household, leading to funny scenarios and unexpected moments of connection among the family members.
In a twist of fate, Sai Sai Lay, initially intent on destroying the family to fulfill his mission, has a change of heart. When robbers invade the home, the cat decides to protect the family, displaying courage and willingness that surprises everyone.
As time goes by, Sai Sai Lay becomes more attached to the family, leading them to a series of adventures—from school competitions to newfound fame through commercials. The family begins to heal and bond in ways they hadn’t before, with Sai Sai Lay becoming an integral part of their lives.
However, trouble brews when Su Lung’s financial irresponsibility threatens his family's stability, jeopardizing Yao Yao's chance for surgery to fix her leg. This creates tension between Lai Chu and Su Lung, leading to emotional confrontations before a heartwarming reconciliation.
As the plot unfolds, after witnessing his immense impact on the family, Sai Sai Lay realizes that he no longer wants to fulfill King Meow's destructive mission. Instead, he takes the initiative to heal Yao Yao, using the powers from his artifact to mend her leg during a pivotal relay race at school.
In a symbolic act of love, Simulu reveals his true identity to the family and informs them that he must leave due to the impending memory-erasing spell. His journey culminates in a farewell that signals the end of his apparent mission and the beginning of a new love story between him and the family.
Months later, after returning to Meow, Simulu finds himself missing his Earthly family, thus embarking on a journey to reconnect with them. Despite the memory-erasing spell, a powerful bond remains, affirming the narrative that love transcends memory. The family instinctively remembers their beloved Sai Sai Lay.
Ultimately, Meow showcases how compassion, acceptance, and connection can create a world worth saving. Simulu's transformation from a creature of conquest to a beloved family member is at the heart of this enchanting tale. This film reminds viewers that love is not just in memories but also exists in our hearts, leaving us pondering the question of how far one would go to protect those they love.
