Ender's Game (2013)

This is a sci-fi movie that tells the story of Ender Wiggin (Asa Buttefield), a teen genius when it comes to war tactics and strategy. The movie is set in the future where earth has survived a prior invasion attempt by an alien race known as the Formics. To prevent another invasion, the International Fleet is tasked to train young people for battle and command positions in the war against the Formics. Ender is picked by a Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) as a talented potential candidate based on his response to being bullied and his advanced tactical skills.

Ender begins his training but feels increasingly isolated and starts to despise all the violence and killing but he excels. He is selected for Command School and has to undergo a series of simulation battles against the Formics to graduate.

The movie may be a little slow in the beginning and one can feel that the actions never actually starts but the story is tight and if you pay attention to the dialogues, it's quite an engaging movie. Fine performances from all the leads and decent special effects. The ending however can be a bit abrupt and feels a little rushed.

Rating : 3 out of 5 stars.

Muppets Most Wanted (2014)

Haha.

This made my day.

After the reboot  The Muppets (2011) I was not sure how they would continue The Muppets in the movies, apparently, right after the first movie.

This movie is so nonsensical, that is actually good!!!

The cameos are staggering!! Celine Dion, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, Josh Groban, Salma Hayek, Tom Hiddleston and many many more.

And with all this big stars, it is amazing that alot of them, if you blink you would miss!!!

That shows you the power of The Muppets. People would do things for them they usually would not even consider.

The highlights for me are all the Siberian Gulag scenes. Very VERY funny!!!

Aw come on, we are all young at heart. Watch this. I know that you know you want to.

Broken – A more subtle revenge thriller from South Korea

The first hour is pretty spot on when comes to setting up the characters. In tone, it’s a much more fleshed out movie when compared to last year’s “Prisoners”. While the main story is about the destroyed father searching for his daughter’s killers, it also touches on a failed justice system that allows light sentences on prosecuted underage murderer. I’m pretty impressed with the jump cut editing that shows how confident the director is in his narrative choice. Some might find it jarring but here it became an effective tool to build suspense without going too expository. Pacing or rather direction switch gear to a three way cat and mouse game during the second half between the father, the cop and the killer. It also not afraid to show uncomfortable scenarios like how underage prostitution ring responsible for the killing. Both lead actors gave an exemplary performance as the grieving father and troubled cop. A solid effort.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Hollywood did get it very wrong in many places on this one. I cannot take the whole movie seriously and I thik if it was a parody I could swallow it better.

It's a big budget movie and the production values are great. Special effects are great but the plot line lost it for me.

My complaints in the spoiler though I doubt many have yet to see it.

Ant-Man (2015)

This is easily the most UNUSUAL super-hero origins movie I have ever seen!

Why is it unusual you ask?

Well, the beats are more attune to old Shaw Brother's Kung Fu movie rather than an American production!!!?! laugh.gif

So was it good?

YES!

Storyline?

Unusual for an American Movie.

Casting?

Bold. Great to see Michael Douglas up and about.

Evangeline Lilly (whom I mistaken for Liv Tyler. I kept asking myself why did they cast Hulk's Betty as... laugh.gif) looks like she is gonna bust out in Elvish!!

Paul Rudd (who usually as an air of unassumingness), an interesting choice works well as Ant-Man.

And I also need to add, this is probably one of Marvel's most ambitious work, because what they had managed to get on screen (technically speaking), is mind boggling!!!

I suppose what most of you want to ask is, are there "short" in the end credits, and the answer is yes.

Two in fact.

One very shortly after the end credit starts, another right at the end of the whole end credits!!

So in short, it really does not matter what I say here. If you want to watch this, regardless of what I have to say, you will go watch this.

For those who are on the fence, it is a rather fun movie. Very tongue in cheek.

So, apa tunggu-tunggu lagi???

its been a while since my last watching movie in cinema,been addict to pq and sq of bluray i actually can wait a few month for bluray release but..but..yesterday i give it a try in ipoh parade bcos of atmos.

Ok,as i'm always expectected, the sq and pq are poor,very poor that spoil my mood to concentrate along the movie so eventhough this movie u rated is fun,for me its predictable,the action scene is so so and far lower than my expectation.

Now,can u or anyone recommend which cinema is the best for atmos experience?
