Flight of the Living Dead - Outbreak On A Plane

Fight of the living dead is a special effects packed Sci-Fi / Horror / Action thriller about a routine flight from LA to Paris on which a renegade scientist, on the run from the CIA, has smuggled a secret coffin containing the body of a scientist infected with a deadly genetically engineered virus.

The 747 jumbo jet collides with two massive thunderstorms at one which drops it into the eye of an inescapable storm. The non-stop turbulence triggers the release of the infected “flesh eating” scientist from the cargo hold. A life and death battle ensues as the virus turns the unsuspecting passengers into “the undead” and the terrified uninfected passengers try to survive the flight they wish they missed. Now, no government will allow the “infected” 747 jumbo jet to land. Stranded in the air, the passengers have no place to hide from their ravenous tormentors…flying the deadly skies…


If you like to watch Zombie / Living Dead type of movie, then this movie cast by, David Chisum, Kristen Kerr, Richard Tyson and Siena Goinesv is your choice. To me, this is just a normal movie with action - the battle between human and zombie. But, do you dare to take flight together with scientist after watched this movie?

Saw 5

Jigsaw murderer reborn?

I can't recall the story of Saw 1-4 but still remember the John (starred by Tobin Bell) or Jigsaw murderer dead in the last episode. But why still have Jigsaw Murderer?

The answer is detective Hoffman (starred by Costas Mandylor). He was trained by John to become new jigsaw murderer. Few of the previous killing games were assisted by Hoffman.

A detective become series killer? You will know the reason why he becomes the killer after you watch this movie. Nothing special from this movie again, still the same that the victims need to play the game planned by jigsaw murderer to survive.

Wall-E

Wall-E is one the good movies I watched recently, even it just an animation movie. The storyline is about Wall-E (a robot designed to clean all the rubbish in the world) and Eve (a fighting robot) to bring back the human back to their mother earth.

The movie talks about love (between 2 robots?) and also advise us to save our environment. We should recycle the rubbish to avoid same like what happen in this movie, no more flora and fauna, until human staying in spaceship in galaxy.

Let's recycle and protect our mother earth.

3D-Journey to the Center of the Earth


Journey to the Center of the Earth is first live-action feature film to be shot and released entirely in digital 3D. The cast is lead by Brendan Fraser (as Prof. Trevor Anderson), Josh Hutcherson (as Sean Anderson) and Anita Briem (as Hannah Ásgeirsson).

The Story
No one believes that Trevor Anderson is on to something. The science professor’s unconventional hypotheses have put him on the fringe of the academic community. But during an expedition in Iceland, Trevor and his teenage nephew, Seam, accompanied by their beautiful local guide, Hannah, make a breakthrough discovery that launches them on a thrilling adventure into the unknown. As their journey takes them deep beneath the Earth’s surface, they travel thorough never-before-seen-worlds that bring them face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures, stretching the bounds of the visionary scientist’s own imagination.

Personal Comment
From the movie, you can see how advance the current technology of animation is. The scenes appear in the movie are very nice. The selling point of this movie is the 3D technology. Without 3D effect, I don't see anything can attract the audience.

The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor


Just back from GSC cinema after watched the premier screening of The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor at 1 Utama shopping complex. So, I quickly post something about this movie here.

In The Mummy 3, Rick O'Connel (starred by Brendan Fraser) faces the challenge from mummy again. But this time is not Egytian mummy, is Chinese mummy - Terracotta Army leaded by Emperor Han (starred by Jet Li). I believe that Emperor Han of the movie is First Emperor in China named Qin Shi Huang (or Shi Huang Ti) who ruled China from 241BCE to 210BCE as King of Great Qin. Besides Chinese mummy, you also able to see yeti (or snowman) and 3 heads dragon in this movie.

Why I said Emperor Han is Shi Huang Ti? Shi Huang Ti undertook some gigantic projects such as current version of Great Wall and Terracotta Army. Besides, he was the king always look for immortality. It all are exactly what Emperor Han does in the movie.

Basically the story started after world war 2 when Rick and his wife Evelyn (now starred by Maria Bello; previously starred by Rachel Weisz) are assigned to send the eye of Shangri-la back to China from England. But they are betrayed by their friend Professor Wilson who used Rick & Evelyn's son Alex to find the Emperor Han & his army.

With helps from Jonathan (Evelyn's brother), Lin (starred by Isabella Leong) and Lin's mother Zhi Yuan (starred by Michelle Yeoh), can O'Connel family defeat Emperor Han who helped by a group soldier leaded by General Yang (starred by Anthony Wong Chau-Sang) and Choi (starred by Jessey Meng)?

Generally this movie is considered a nice movie with a lot nice animation and fighting scenes but the movie time too short.

Let's take a look on the below trailer:
