Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Great movie , more 80's 90's nostalgic ( in a good way ) than i expected
After the success of Original Top Gun 1986 , there.were a few other Military Fighter pilot films . Like Iron Eagle (1986) ,Into the Sun (1991) . They were OK for smaller budget film for the 80's and 90's period .
Top Gun Maverick , the final 1/4 of the film , the story and plot element reminds me of the "Iron Eagle" and "Into the Sun" . All the nostalgic feeling of watching 80's and 90's fighter Pilot films .
The Covid delayed the release for more than 2 yr , i is worth the wait .
All the Money in the World (2017)
Good Movie , i want to compare it with Kevin Spacey's version
Paul Gitty's character is a horrible person , Christopher Plummer did a fine job of portraying Gitty's character.
I know Kevin's Spacey is even worse person .
A very horrible person portraying a horrible person . i don't see the problem with that .
i want to see it .
BloodRayne: The Third Reich (2011)
I was better than i expected (spoiler)
As vampire movies collector, i have to buy some Vampire movies DVD, even if i don't like the movies.
Unlike the "Twilight" franchise which i hate to buy to buy them ,but i have to . Bloodrayne: The Third Reich is actually better than i expected ,and i would be happy to buy it .
It is a decent vampire movie .
The lesbian scene with Natassia Malthe is worth my time and money . I bought Elektra (2005) DVD just for that 5 second kiss scene with Natassia Malthe and Jennifer Garner.
The budget may be low , but they did a good job with what they got.
Terminator Salvation (2009)
So many plot holes, i wish i can ignore Spoiler
I love the Terminator franchise, but T4 could be so much better if the plot holes was explain .
Spoilers
* * * John Connor was still only a mid level commander , the high command won't even pick up his phone call.Why would Skynet use so much resource set up a trap to catch him and Kyle?
And how did Skynet know about Kyle 's connection to John?
Kyle was just a teenager , a nobody civilian ,And recognised Kyle's face in a computer scan ?
John just trust Mucus just after he save John's life.But they just make up a plan to rescue Kyle within a minute and exchange a few word and hand him a communicator device.
If the Resistance can have large base and airfield, why did skynet just nuke their base or spread bio weapon into human area.
And skynet repair Macus 's organic body , and no guards ,no T-600 watching over him , he can just smash his way out of the lab.
Would Guerrilla Warfare tactics make more sense than sending a large fleet of choppers . The Tech-com high command sub boardcast underwater the shut down signal,and let skynet aircraft attact them from the air. They could just board cast the signal in with large sateille dish like the one in the beginning of the movie , and when the sub detecting hunter killer, they could just shut down the boardcast and dive deeper and escape.
Where is the resistance get spare parts and fuel for their aircrafts. They lost a lot of chopper and A-10.
The motorcyle robots, Skynet make their shape so easy for human to sit on them.So John just catch one and override the computer, and he got himself a fast moterbike.
Does the T-800 with Arold's CGI face have to be naked waiting for John?
How did Mucus knew his heat and blood type are suitable for John?
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
updated special effect ,but lost the original message
i saw the movie in HK yesterday
Well i am disappointed
The best thing about the original was when Klaatu make his warning speech to the entire world and stop the world as a warning message.
But in this version, Klaatu was not allow to speak to Representatives of entire world.so the process to destroy the human race started .
In the end Klaatu gave the earth one last chance and stop all the machine on Earth as his warning massage.
But the message is not as clear as his speech of original movie. Would the Worldleader get the message ? and would they dismiss the stop of machine as some EMP side affect.
The movie remind me of Jeff Bridges 's movie "Starman", an Earth woman and an alien running from the government.without the love relationship. Klaatu's change of heart was because he saw the other side of humanity. If he was able to form a deeper relationship with Jennifer Connelly's character, then at least the movies can be a alien /human love movies.
But it was not that kind of movies either, it is sort of between Sci-fi movies with environmental message .
