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...

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: 4.6/5 Review: "Avengers: Endgame IMAX movie review" (181 minutes) This is surely the most anticipated movie this year. This is a non-spoiler review so it won't be very long. The ultimate question is: Is the conclusion worth the wait? Those who have invested 10 over years on every Marvel movie should have no doubts watching this on big screen. I personally find Endgame a little disappointing as it felt safer compared to the brutal Infinity War. The story: It is a direct sequel. And that's all a reader should know. There are some surprises along the way and it ends in a satisfying way. Audience should know that it is a 3 hours movie so they SHOULD NOT expect an action-packed thrill ride like what Infinity War is. It takes its time with characters and therefore it is reasonable to call it an action drama that delivers an emotional and nostalgic ride. Although it does feel a bit long, I found it consistently engaging. Music by Alan Silvestri is a bit lacki...
