Immortals (2011)

Immortal (2011)

Synopsis:

Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spectacular 3-D adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful. The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission. As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

Everyone has been dreaming of immortality ever since ancient moments ago especially the ancient Rulers and Kings.
Endlessly conquering the land and enjoying the unlimited wealth and fame and power.
That is what we claimed as GREED.
Epic adventures and fights emerge due to these immortality craps.
Practically for a mortal to be an immortal is a joke unless you're the chosen one. (Definitely bestow with great responsibility. Sounds like stress to me.)
What's so good being immortality?
Pros:

1. Never die.
2. Usually bestowed with great power to turn the tide around.
3. Forever young.
4. Watching enemies die while you are alive.
5. The mortals treat you as god.

Cons:

1. Watching everyone beside you die one by one due to growing age, friends and families.
2. Alone being stuck in the wheel of time.
3. End up everyone even the close one scared of you.
4. You will gradually fail to appreciate life because you doesn't know what is death.
5. The fear of dying is greater within you because you never knew what is death compare to mortals who accepted the fate of the life cycle.

So, again, what's so good being immortals?

Yes, you get the power, the wealth and the never ending life.

But that is only for a short term.

How will you feel after 10,000years of being alive? Already enjoyed and being numb with the wealth and power repeatedly. Definitely the word boring will pop up from your head.

By that time you will probably wanted death so much to end up this miserable repeating life (no-life is what we called nowadays).

We as human should always accept the fate of life cycle.

Okay, okay....

Back to the movie, Immortals (2011).

It will be slashing its way to the screen by 11th of November 2011. >>> 11.11.11  (Nice figures ^^)

From the producers of "300", "This is Spartaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!"

I guess I will be watching a 70% CG movie again this time.

The best thing about this movie is that even Gods need a hero.

Ever heard of that? Me neither.

Anyway, looking forward to this whack and slash movie in the screening soon.

Mark your calender with a cross slash and wait for the show to be on screen on 111111.

Peace!

Shark Night 3D

Shark Night 3D

Synopsis:

A sexy summer weekend turns into a blood-soaked nightmare for a group of college students hunted by blood-thirsty underwater predators in Shark Night 3-D, a terrifying thrill-ride featuring a red-hot young cast. 

Arriving by boat at her family’s Louisiana lake island cabin, Sara (Sara Paxton) and her friends quickly strip down to their swimsuits for a weekend of fun in the sun. But when star football player Malik (Sinqua Walls) stumbles from the saltwater lake with his arm torn off, the party mood suddenly darkens. Nick (Dustin Milligan), a shy pre-med student, finds himself taking charge—administering first aid and informing Sara they don’t have a minute to spare to get Malik to a hospital on the other side of the lake. 

Setting out in a tiny speedboat, the college friends quickly discover the lake has been stocked with hundreds of massive, flesh-eating sharks. When the boat malfunctions in mid-trip, marooning them without medical care or a way to call for help, they are shocked to find that it has been deliberately sabotaged. As they face one gruesome attack after another, it becomes frighteningly clear that someone is engineering a deadly plot aimed at killing them all. With their options for rescue dwindling, Sara and the others struggle to fend off the sharks, get help and stay alive long enough to reach the safety of dry land. 

The director David R. Ellis knows a thing or two about killing people in extraordinary situations and he specializes in fun, exciting thrillers and realizes the importance of shooting them in 3D. This is yet another terrifying thrill ride from director David R.Ellis of The Final Destination franchise, where a sexy summer weekend turns into a blood-soaked nightmare for a gang of college students trapped on an island surrounded by underwater predators.

Having piranha chasing after you in the amazon river is a pretty scary experience.
But how bout having man-eater sharks chasing after you in the lake?
How's that to you? ^^
Having no ways of escaping but to struggle to fight back and get yourself away from those predators.

Shark Night 3D will be swimming to the screen by coming 3th of November 2011.
It will be definitely a bloody scary night at the cinema that day.
Have a peek of the movie while waiting it to hit the screen.

Real Steel (2011) and Met New Bloggers

Real Steel

Okay, "Real Steel" here is the real deal here now.
I have just watched the screening of the movie yesterday at 9.30pm at The Curve.
Thanks to Nuffnang, I get two free tickets for the screening.

Together with my friend BenjaminFoo, and some new met blogger friends, we watched the movie together.
Some of them might have watched the movie screening previously on Saturday, tickets from ChurpChurp.
But they returned for more because the movie is awesome.
Awesome enough to make your jaws drop right on your seat.

The movie featuring a father and a son and a junkyard old generation boxing robot.
Father's name Charlie, by Hugh Jackman, son's name Max, by Dakota Goyo and the junky robot, Atom.
The story of the movie I wouldn't be revealing here as my readers might hate me because of the spoilers. Hahahaha...

Atom

The movie is pretty awesome as rumors say.
Throughtout the whole movie, I can hardly get my eyes blinked.
Actions after actions keep on coming to keep your jaws dropped.
The movie concentrate on actions mostly but some scenes potraiting very touching moments especially when Charlie unveiling his feeling for his son.
It's a very meaningful movie and packed with marvelous actions.

Training Session

As for the CG, the designs of the robots are well made.
Their shapes and appearance can be observed nicely.
Movements of the robots are better than expected.
It's moving shiftly as if the real human boxer in the ring.
However, the sturdiness of the robot is maintaining a little to potrait that it's actually robot fighting and not human fights.
Whole movie takes 2hours to be finished.
But the whole 2hours are absolutely fun.

As for the new met bloggers, they are definitely great people.
All came from different places and different ages.
Seriously it surprises me a lot.
They speak very good English and definitely giving me stress. HAhahaha..
I couldn't even start off with anything there.
I remained silent most of the time.
What a shame~ LOL
Anyway, it's great to meet so many people from different fields.
