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: 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: 3.5/5 Review: Taken DVD review Taken is a new action movie that makes the audiences want more hard and gritty action flicks. I can see that now. Taken has the drama (Yawn!) and the realistic action (Like the Borne movies). Clocking at only 1 and a half hour, the movie starts off slow with drama. After half and hour pass, it goes straight to the intensity and non-stop realistic action. I don't like the slow start. As it is only 1 and a half hour, it do not have the time for slow characters' development. It should drive straight to the action, unless it clocks around 2 hours. The story: It seems to be the usual kidnapping movies where the bad guys kidnap some random girl/boy and ask for ransom. But in this, they kidnap young women to become sex-slaves. A father of a kidnapped daughter is enraged and goes to Paris where his daughter is. "I will find you! I will kill you!" He says to the bad guys. He starts punching and kicking people to hell. He kicks men's b...

Rating: 3.8/5 Review: "Resident Evil: Retribution movie review" It was a pity that I did not manage to catch it in 3D. I have no doubt that it looks good in 3D since the previous movie looks good in 3D. To say the truth, Resident Evil: Retribution seems to be nothing special without the amazing 3D like what Resident Evil: Afterlife is. The 5th movie is all about action and suspense, the story is pretty straight-forward. The story: You are a fool if you go and watch a Resident Evil movie expecting good story line and acting. So far, none of the movies in the franchise have these qualities. But they are entertaining to watch because of the action and suspense. This is the most action-packed Resident Evil movie so far. The action scenes are also better and bigger. It is like a kind of compensation for the lack of action in Resident Evil: Afterlife. It is not only filled with action but it is also intense. Music in this is also the best in the franchise; it has a more ep...
