The Shape of Water (2017)
A rare event: A Science Fiction Movie won the Oscars
Guillermo Del Toro's leaving the Pacific Rim pays off.
Science fiction is not always about action. Please do not hope for any of it. Enjoy the complexity of the situation.
Ready Player One (2018)
Looks promising. So many easter eggs given. What a sneak peek!!!
Gundam, Street Fighter, Overwatch, Superheroes, King Kong, Star Wars.
My question:
1. has this movie asked the permission?
2. if this concept was made ahead before Sword Art Online Augmented Reality Game concept, then it's okay, cause i see a lot of similarities.
My complete review will be written after i watch the movie
Black Panther (2018)
The Black Panther Phenomenon: The movie of mostly American Africans with the highest income! This will be a record!!
Story line is the essence of the success of this movie.
I am completely astounded by the trending of my neighborhood mimicking the Wakanda cultures and english dialect.
I am not racist, but this movie is still positively influential to the viewers.
Tomb Raider (2018)
Finally, a normal human female hero after Katniss "hunger games" saga is ended!
Lots of unreasonable /illogical events occured, but i still did enjoy watching the movie. I hope this movie will continue. I am 100% sure that Alicia Vikander will shine as the top actor in few years ahead. I was taken by her act.
Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
A worldwide threat treated not seriously.
1. The Jaegers are turning to super robots (super abilities which cannot be explained scientifically).
2. Lack of emotional bond.
3. Lack of thrill of being killed by kaiju.
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Bad cinematography made an original Sci-Fi legend turned amateur
As the 1995 ghost in the shell anime was successful due to the concepts of technologies, the producer should prepare more about the adaptation of the anime. Whether about the martial art side, transitions from Japanese language and cultures, and also story line. I will not discuss the story. But it was just a waste a veteran actor (scarlet) wad not utilized as good as what she did as the black widow. This kind of movie should offer more bangs and booms and fights rather than forced unimportant stories or unimportant scenes.
In this era of advanced cinematography community, a successful 1995 movie becomes an ordinary movie in 2017.
If i was the director, i will convert all into the English, new environment but still the same adapted characters and the same concepts regardless what people will say. Because I have known this story since GitS 1995 and the rebooted GitS 2008
Assassin's Creed (2016)
Extra efforts needed!
1. I will give lower score if this movie has connection with the game timeline. But let's assume that it's not. 2. What's wrong with the eagle? Time was spent too long on viewing the eagle for many times which might cgv + drone video takings. 3. Too much talking as an action movie and action game. 4. This is not a national geographic channel movie. Too much panorama viewing. 5. Extra homeworks for the martial art consultant. The fights can be better. 6. Extra homeworks on camera angles. The fights and the runaway scenes can be better. Mostly it was again visual effects. Even the fan made assassin's creed parkour videos on YouTube are better. 7. Need extra researches before making the movies. Not a smart movie. Less twist, so many mistakes, poor preparations and reviewing before finishing. 8. Weaponry. Bows! When Aguilar took the bow, he could shoot well. But wait! He's a magician too. He could pull out arrows out of nowhere. When he was aiming. It seemed like a first person shooting game. 9. Posing after hidden blade killings. Very cool. But only according to kids, and actually unwise for posing in the middle of a fight with enemies surrounding. 10. The captain of the army reacted slow, and wait till the assassins took the prince away, then he chased after. 11. Animus?? Too scary. It is illogical. If Aguilar run along the city, then the size of the animus is not enough. Funny that cal can roll on his back with animus attached on his back??? 12. Leap of faith?? I think it's a bunch of absent minded people gazing down. 13. Conclusion: actually there are so many unimportant, time consuming and useless scenes that can be replaced with better story lines or more actions. Because the concept is actually wide enough to explore, to make plots and unexpected twists, and even new ideas adjusting the logical aspects and real life aspects (i fully understand that game interfaces cannot be fully implemented in real life. I hope there will be a reboot version, or new storyline fixing this current movie's minus. This movie broke my heart that i regret asking my girl to watch with me and saying that this movie is based on the games i played.
