Review: "Pandorum movie review"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As it is from the producers of Resident Evil, you can see some similiar things between them. Pandorum's story plot may not be very original but it does its intensity and suspense good. I had fun with this intense non-stop action movie with its suspense.

The story: It starts straight to the action. Bower wakes up from his pod and found that he may be alone. But sooner, he knows he is not alone. Yep, he is definitely not alone in the big ship. Things unwanted starts to appear. What is it? The adventure around the ship will start seeing some mild twists. Action and chase scenes are intense with its unusual soundtrack. It choose not to be the creepy soundtrack that most horror movies are using. It is filled with non-stop shock scenes and sometimes that gets annoying. Bower walks, BOOM! What the hell! He turns around. Five minutes later, he walks and see something and BOOM! What the hell! I was not that shocked but more of being annoyed. They are cheap scare scenes.

Overall: It is a pretty good intense thriller that is worth to watch it in cinema as you feel the darkness around you but obviously, it does not really have the claustrophobia feeling. "This is an order, motherfucker!"

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: 4.5/5 Review: "Man of Steel movie review" With all the hype from the trailers, I must say this is what it looks to be expected. I have to say that this is the biggest and epic superhero movie yet. This treats destructions like child's play. It is also the most explosive superhero movie. There are so much explosions that they could literally make you exhausted from watching all those. Although this is directed by Zack Snyder, this does not have much of his trademark except the visuals. His slo-mo trademark is not featured. Instead, the action is rapid fast. Man of Steel is a good entertainment with exciting action scenes and visuals but at the same, a somehow touching human drama. The story: We get an extended opening scene on Krypton where Kal-El is just born. However the planet is going to be destroyed with General Zod adding to the problem. To save Kal-El, he has to be sent to another planet known as Earth. What is interesting about the movie that it do...

Rating: 4.3/5 Review: "American Made film review" "An entertaining and fun well-made film boosted by great direction and acting." Doug Liman and Tom Cruise paired up together again for a fast-paced and colorful biography on Barry Seal. American Made may not have the blockbuster action but it holds up on its own firmly with the help of a great direction by Doug. Tom Cruise is definitely the main highlight of the film and he is what made it so entertaining. The story: The pace is brisk; it takes the audience on a crazy ride from the start and never slows down. Though it never felt boring, sometimes I felt that it could have slowed down for some development. After the film ended, it seems that Doug and Tom had a clear mind on just keeping the audience as entertained as they can be. It cuts to the chase and never dwells on anything such as emotions. It moves quickly from event to event. Advantage is that I was not bored at all. Disadvantage is that it felt li...
