Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters Premier Screening

Courtesy to Churpchurp, I get to watch Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters Premier Screening, the second sequel for Percy Jackson % The Olympian : The Lightning Thief.

Based on the best-selling book, PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS continues the young demigod’s epic journey to fulfill his destiny. To save their world, Percy and his friends must find the fabled and magical Golden Fleece. Embarking on a treacherous odyssey into the uncharted waters of the Sea of Monsters, they battle terrifying creatures, an army of zombies, and the ultimate Evil.

Honestly I am disappointed with this movie. If I would use a chart to represent this movie, it is flat! The movie lack of hard boiled journey, suspense and character development. Weak storyline as well if I may add in.

The title Sea monster doesn't refer to the monster they gonna battle, but is the place where Luke gonna resurrect Titan leader, Kronos. I am disappointed! The Titan Kronos suppose to be powerful but he is easily killed by Percy with his almighty father, Poseidon sword. I just gave a BOO on the movie boss and the OX at the earlier movie seem be much better boss than Kronos.

Of cource, ending of the movie hinted another sequel of the movie. Oh god, I almost fell asleep when watch this movie. I find myself rather enjoy watching The Smurfs 2 on previous day. Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters will be available at local cinema by tmrw!

After Earth Movie

Courtesy to Nuffnang I get to watch After Earth last night. Not premier screening but still, free movie :P

A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

I guess when you heard too many bad critic on this movie and you already lower down your expectation, the movie somehow turn out to be watchable. Nothing much to shout on After Earth. It is beautifully done CG but come with crappy story. The story by Will Smith and the director fail to create better chemistry between Cypher (Will Smith) and Kitai (Jaden Smith) as father and son. Ironic isn't? Dislike how monotone and expressionless can Cypher be in the movie even when he flash back about his own daughter. Side effect of learning ghosting maybe? Or he just pure cold and heartless.

With so advance technology from them (assuming from the architecture and space ship from their planet), their weapon is pretty shitty. A sugar cane alike wood that has 40+ configuration? and a Cutlas as main configuration? Why no laser gun, high end bow or whatever long range weapon to fight with Ursa? Wait, what? Ursa? I though Ursa suppose to be some bear but turn out some ugly looking alien that doesn't look like a bear at all. Why the alien release Ursa to kill human? To feed them as food? To conquer the planet? It wasn't mentioned at all in the movie. The color changing suite wore by Kitai seem pretty useless too. Why not equipped some real battle suit for defense enhancement?

There was a pointless argument as well between Kitai and Cypher about the death of Senshi Raige where Kitai blaming his father not being there to save her while Kitai mum, Faia Raige told Cypher that Kitai actually blaming himself for Senshi Raige death. So whose fault actually? At the final battle between Ursa and Kitai also proved that Kitai actually a superman. The moment when he stop fear and learn ghosting, he stood up confidentally against Ursa as if his previous wound was nothing. Oh wait, did Cypher just said Earth is class 1 quarantine planet? But where is the danger during the adventure? It doesn't spark my curiousness and I doesn't feel nervous at all.

End of rant. Overall, I am glad I don't need to pay to watch this movie. As I said it is still watchable if your expectation wasn't high. The movie has more room of improvement to be better sci-fi adventure movie.

Parental Guidance Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang I get to watch Parental Guidance Premier Screening before it release at cinema.

Artie and Diane agree to look after their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents need to leave town for work. Problems arise when the kids' 21st-century behaviors collide with Artie and Diane's old-school methods.

Love it or hate it, this film are meant to be comedy yet heart warming, well not exactly too heart warming. Just a perfect movie for people who need laughter and release stress. However the dynamic of the movie wasn't impactful enough.

The chemistry between the grandchildren and the grandparent can be more to create better emotion. But then, it is comedy afterall and maybe the director wasn't on this direction. Other than that, Billy Crystal still look so freaking young!! Doesn't look like a grandpa at all ;/

Overall, simple and just alright movie for everyone.

The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang I get to watch The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premier Screening last night.

After the birth of Renesmee, the Cullens gather other vampire clans in order to protect the child from a false allegation that puts the family in front of the Volturi.

Seriously I felt this instalment is pretty unnecessaries. As far as I remember, previous Twilight engaging quite alot emotion in slow pace but this one stuff happen pretty quick. Yes plothole everywhere. Somehow the Breaking Dawn part 1 and part 2 can easily merge together by removing unnecessaries drama and tapao in one movie straight.

To my surprise Kristen Stewart show more facial expression. That's mean she feel more alive when she is vampire? Jacob pedophiled Renesmee, Bella daughter seem very quickly acceptable by them and Jacob gonna call Edward father. This movie better related with Underworld! :P

Plot seem pretty draggy all the way until the ending when the battle start. That's the only part where I feel much better watching on head rip off here and there without blood coming out. Vampire don't have blood? Of coz, expect some unexpected twist and overall it was happy ending. Last thing I almost forgot mention, CGI seem low budget this time.

Movie gonna release today! Go catch at cinema and end this saga! ;P

Hotel Transylvania Premiere Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnang I get to watch Hotel Transylvania Premiere Screening before it official release in cinema.

Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teen-aged daughter.

On the first sight I find those character design wasn't so attractive. Maybe because I too used to PIXAR and Dreamwork styling. However after watch the movie, I change my mind. Every character has their very unique design in it and of course, I love this movie very much.

What attracted me most actually the animation and all the character movement. It was so hyper exegeratted and fast moving. Kinda remind me those 80's cartoon like bugs bunny, road runner etc kinda of movement. It is very enjoyable watching it.

Storyline was pretty simple and direct though I found that Dracula actually cannot stand on sunlight but yet he is nothing when he is inside the car. Not much on screen for Mavis since the story more focus on Dracula and Jonathan.

Overall, as I said it is enjoyable. All the joke and humors definitely made my day. Thumb up to Adam Sandler too for doing awesome job as Dracula voice actor. Catch this in cinema on Thursday with your kids, it will totally worth it ;)

Resident Evil : Retribution Premier Screening

Courtesy to Nuffnnag I get to catch up with Resident Evil : Retribution Premier Screening before it release on cinema this Thursday, which is today :P

The Umbrella Corporation's deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race's last and only hope, ALICE, awakens in the heart of Umbrella's most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by new found allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

As a resident evil game fans, again this movie instalment is a disappointment like previous one. Click HERE to check out my previous movie review. However I am happy to see Jill Valentine is back in action! This instalment also introduced Leon S Kennedy and Ada Wong, both my favourite character from Resident Evil 4 games.

Still, I am disappointed with the actor who act as Leon. It doesnt fit the awesome macho handsome looking from game. Plus the age look very old...event older than Leon from RE6 game. Of course, the most drooling part will be Ada Wong play by Li Bing Bing..but I couldn't stand her tone when she speak and expressionless.

Not much zombie in action this time. Just more slow mo, more pose and awesome stunt action. Mini boss came out and die fast, pretty useless. Soviet Zombie use gun but failed to hit any one of them. Plus, they can dive and swim in cold water..truely a evolution of T-Virus.

Facepalm to myself as a fans of the game. Leon and Ada character has been ruined completely. There will be next movie and hopefully is final movie, since they stated is humanity last battle. Chris and Claire Redfield come back pls!
