Review: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D movie review"

This is said to be Michael Bay's last installment to his Transformers trilogy. It is a good end to the franchise although the last minutes could have been extended to give a more closure to the final movie. As usual, this is filled with explosive action, epic music and a hot babe.

The story: The story lasts for one and an half hour before moving into an hour of action. The movie starts off with footage of the first people walking on the moon but they were not there just to start a new record, they were there for a special mission. The movie tries to be like a spy movie where things happen for an unknown reason. Sam and the Autobots have to uncover that mystery. Well, that doesn't actually do well for me but thankfully the pace is decent and packed with action. Carly, Sam's new girlfriend, replaces Megan Fox's character. She is just there to add in the eye-candy. Although she is not as tough as Megan, she still looks pretty and hot. The action scenes are done well. Lots of slow-motion too. The action is the best out of the three movies because it is longer and more thrilling. The last hour boasts cool action scenes filled with explosions.

The 3D is well-done too. Although two and an half hour is a bit too long for a 3D movie, I still could bear with it. People are comparing the 3D effects with Avatar and I would say this boasts better and more effective 3D effects. Some close-ups with the robots are amazing, it is like the robots are just in front of you. When it comes to the action, it is alright that you can at least see the depth between the action and the backgrounds. The action in 3D is better than the disappointing Pirates of the Carribbean. No wonder James Cameron praised Michael Bay regarding of the 3D effects.

Overall: Is it the best Transformers movie? I would say it comes pretty close. The first Transformers movie is the first movie that did the impossible thing; the stunning effects and action. I can't really choose the best. But this is better than the second movie. Michael Bay's Transformers has ended and is one of the best action trilogy out there. There are rumours that there will be a next trilogy without Michael. Bring it on!

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...
Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...
Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "John Carter movie review" Unfortunately, I didn't catch it in 3D. I wasn't sure of how the post-conversion would turn out. Back to the movie. To tell the truth, before John Carter opened, I was not sure if I should give the movie a try. The posters are boring and uninspired and trailers are not really exciting. It was only the week that it opened that I decided to catch it in cinema. I am glad that it is actually a fun and entertaining movie that is worth to watch in cinema. The story: It does pack a lot during the 132 minutes runtime. And it does feel slightly bloated. But it is still fun entertainment. The movie starts with a short action scene on Mars and moves on to John Carter on the human world. Then the next 20-25 minutes show John on Earth. So Sci-Fi will have to wait a while to see John on Mars. The story is simple to understand but the number of characters may confuse. It is sort of a chase movie. The action scenes while short are many...
