Review: "Resident Evil Afterlife 3D movie review"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another cool 3D movie which has the depth of the 3D. The last 3D movie I have seen is Step Up 3D and it makes full use of the 3D. Afterlife also makes full use of the technology but it does not have many things that pop out like Step Up. The 3D also helps to create a bleak atmosphere in the movie and exciting during the action scenes. This is actually almost the same as the other three live-action movies; they basically have the same plotline except that they have different survivors in different locations. This also amp up the special effects like slow-motion scenes.
The story: Alice is still surviving after the big hit against the umbrella corps in Japan. She goes around and sees if there are any survivors. Most of the story takes place in a huge building surrounding with zombies. Alice and Claire are trapped in the building with some survivors. Alice finds that not every body can fit in her airplane which can carry two people...and Alice going to find a way to save them all. The action scenes are not bad, they are like in your face. But the short climax is disappointing. There are some annoying and really cheap shock scenes which involve zombies suddenly appearing behind someone's back. Music is cool though the pop music is sometimes not needed.
Overall: It is worth the money to watch it in 3D. This does give me a sense of 3D and bring me to the terrible and rotten world the characters are in. Though there are not much stuff popping out of the screen, the 3D shows the action and zombies right in your face. The next movie that is filmed in 3D this year is Tron Legacy. Can't wait for it.

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: 3.7/5 Review: "Terminator Salvation DVD review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is not bad. It is not the worst terminator movie, I actually thought Terminator 1 is just okay. Terminator 2 and 3 are quite entertaining followed by also entertaining Salvation. MCG, the director of Charlies' Angels, takes the directing seat and turned terminator into a dark and gritty world. As what he said, he did not want the future to be a shiny world but a dark and gritty world. He is considered to have done a great job in that and creating the realistic and cool action. But his story pretty much stays the same as his other movies, a simple mindless thrill ride. The story: The future is here and the year is 2018...John Conner is a daring man who will be willing to save people from Skynet, a evil organisation which creates Terminators. A mysterious man who is supposed to be dead suddenly finds himself in the year of...

Rating: 3.7/5 Review: "Fantastic Four movie review" "A decent gritty reboot that could have been something more than what it is now." This is Josh Trank's first big budget movie and it seems he is slightly inexperienced of directing a movie of a massive scale. Fresh from directing a small budget movie, Chronicle, it seems that he is overwhelmed by whatever happened (there are rumours that Matthew Vaughn was brought in to reshoot). Nonetheless, on the whole, the reboot is an alright movie that rehashes on the tired superhero origin. It is disappointing that it is a little shallow. I think with a longer runtime, it could benefit the characters' development and flow of the story. The story: Apparently, the writers of the film said that it does not follow any story from the source material. Instead, a new origin is created. I didn't exactly know how the original source material goes (I read a couple of Fantastic Four comic books to know the tone ...
