Review: "Underworld Awakening 3D movie review"

This is the first movie I watched in cinema and it is not a bad movie to start the year. Underworld Awakening is the first 3D movie in the franchise and I am glad to have watched it in cinema. The movie is shot using 3D camera; it is not the lazy post-converted 3D movie. With its short runtime of 88 minutes, the pace moves briskly and it becomes an enjoyable action flick. And not only that, it could be the best in the franchise.

The story: If a story has to be explained, it goes with Selene trying to find Michael. But no luck and she wakes up about 13 years later where she finds out she has a daughter and yeah, she is still trying to find Michael. Basically, the story serves to string up the different and various action scenes together. The action scenes range from fight scenes to a car chase. It has probably the best action in the franchise. With the added dimension of 3D, the action turns out better. Acting is fine too. Music wise is fine. The 3D effects are surprisingly better than what the other reviewers are saying. Most of them complained the movie is too dark for 3D but it is clear and good to me. I am glad that I hadn't listen to those reviews. The 3D as usual shows another dimension between the characters and the backgrounds.

Overall: It is an action-packed movie for the fans of the action genre and Underworld movies to lap it up. It is inevitable that the movie ends with a cliffhanger and we may see more if the Box office is good. It is a good 3D movie to start the year as this year still sees lots of post-converted 3D movies.

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...

Best and Worst movies of 2011 2011 is over! It sees many good movies so it was kind of tricky to list the best 4 movies of 2011. It had been a good year for movies. Let's see if 2012 is any better. 1.Transformers: Dark of the Moon Rating: 4.5/5 It is one of the best 3D movie ever. It has cool action, great 3D and robots. It may be the final Transformers for Michael Bay. Only thing that can be improved is that rushed out ending. Other than that, it could be 2011 best action movie. 2.Sucker Punch Rating: 4.5/5 It is sad to see the critics slamming this movie. I find its presentation kind of cool and unique. The action is not bad too. Zack Synder really has a sense of cool visual which the movie a more interesting view. 3.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Rating: 4.5/5 The end is finally here. Although it is the most action-packed movie in the franchise, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the climax. I wanted a longer and more epic battle between Harry and Voldemo...

Rating: 3.9/5 Review: "Iron Man 2 DVD review" Well, for me, it is kind of disappointing. Seeing the lack of action and three short action scenes disappoints me as this movie has been reported to have a higher budget than the first one. Another thing disappointing is the pace. The pace in the first Iron Man movie is intense, it is filled with intense moments and quirky humour. This one's pace is slower with all the melodrama of Tony trying to live his "broken" life as he thinks he will soon die. And he starts being an ass, some drunk ass, and blah blah.... The story: The first third of the movie is not bad, still holding up some interesting moments like the villian, Ivan in a car race scene. The second third is where the story slows down, luckily it is bearable, when Tony behaves like an ass, drinking and dancing like some nut monkey. Then there is an action scene with Tony and his best friend in armour. The last third is the climax between Tony and Ivan which is...
