Prometheus (I) (2012)

A great sci fi that explores the possibility of what's out there.

[9/10 · 30 September 2012]

The archaeologists find a common painting amongst the caves suggesting a star map, a location where extra-terrestrials may live. They believe aliens had some hand in creating human life so off they go with a crew on board the ship called Prometheus to see what's there at the destination. A prequel loosely based on the film Alien directed by Ridley Scott. You don't HAVE to see Alien to understand this film but it may help or entertain you as there are similarities between the two.

There are a lot of complaints but this film was made in a certain way, a way that it's open to interpretation. There aren't as many plot holes as others suggest, most people just do not understand it. If you pay attention and think for yourself then you can enjoy this film.

The acting is great, Michael Fassbender does a wonderful job in portraying a robot. The SFX and cinematography are excellent. One thing this film did a great job in is the atmosphere, it really makes you feel like you're out in space and on another planet. The script is good, it doesn't spell it out for you which can be a problem for some people as most films now tend to spoon feed you. You have to think for yourself.

There isn't much action in this film. It's not an action oriented film but a film with a story. I was blown away by the film with an intense scene that hasn't been done before on the screen with great special affects. It's a mystery film with a lot of unanswered questions that will hopefully be answered in the sequel to this.

It's loosely based on the theory that Earth was visited by Aliens and had some hand in creating human life or evolving mankind. If you're a fan of extra terrestrials, then you'll enjoy this film.

Dredd (2012)

This is Dredd.

[9/10 · 7 September 2012]

This is the dredd film you've been waiting for. It will not disappoint and it's close to the source material. If you're looking for a bad ass action hero and want some entertainment, then this is it.

You don't really care for much of the characters except for the villain (MaMa) and hero (dredd). Dredd is the focus point and he is a bad ass. The director did a great job on the city and you really feel like it is a corrupt and decadent city where law enforcement officers can judge, jury and execute criminals on the spot.

As I watched the film I was being surprised again and again. They really outdid themselves and it's a large improvement over the 1995 film with stallone. The plot is there, it fits in perfect and you won't question the plot or the motives of what each character does in the film. It is somewhat simple. I think this has a better plot than The Expendables 2 so if you were thinking it might be the same, then the plot is a bit better than that.

The acting is average. It's good but there's nothing worth noting or exciting nor is there any acting that is bad. It's just okay and the only acting you need to care for is Dredd and Karl Urban nailed his performance as Judge Dredd.

The film has a good pace and the action length was on the spot. I never felt bored while the action was going on or I didn't stop caring after a while when the action becomes too long. But this film was perfect in the action.

The 3D affects were surprisingly good for once with the slow motion affects and this is coming from someone who is not fond of 3D. If you are a comic book fan of Judge Dredd and want to see a good judge dredd movie then, this is it.
