Gravity movie review

So today I saw Gravity, a movie that had Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and when i first saw the trailer i thought it would be something like 127 hours only in space. Once i saw it boy i was wrong, sure it has the elements of survival but this movie was epic. Sandra Bullock does a great job at playing a girl isolated in space, you do get the feeling that no one is going to help you and you are on your own. George Clooney was great too and acted in how you would think real astronauts act in these situations, the plot was well written so you would not get board watching the same thing for the whole movie and the danger shifts from time to time from lack of oxygen to no communication. The special effects for the movie were excellent also and should be at least in the running for an award, at times i was gripping the seat because the movie was so suspenseful. It also has a well put together soundtrack that brings out the emotion, seriously i can see some people crying while watching this movie you start to care so much for the characters. This would change a lot of peoples views on space and also they portrayed space so well as there is no sound in space. Lots of space movies put in big explosions but the silence of this pumps the suspense up even more. I would say this is a great movie for people who want to watch a movie you cant just have it on as background while you do something else. But sit down, enjoy it and it wont let you down.

The Wolverine movie review

Today i saw The Wolverine and i was sceptical going in to the movie because the last stand alone Wolverine movie did not live up to the x men movies before it but once i watched this movie i found it entertaining and gripping. The story takes place after x men 3 with Logan living in the forest mountains still haunted by what happened with Jean Grey is trying to understand what to do with his life, he is asked to come to Tokyo to say goodbye to a man he saved from the Nagasaki bombing. He gets caught up in a family dispute as well as giving him something to live for and get his healing ability back. This movie had great action scenes, the one that stood out the most was the train scene where Logan is fighting gangsters on top a bullet train. The story is much better thought out and put together making it more understandable then the previous Wolverine movie. The actors all played there parts well and its always good to see Hugh Jackman can still pull Wolverine off. The only thing wrong with the film was at times it had shaky camera and it was hard to see what was going on but above all The Wolverine will be a good time for comic book fans and anyone who likes superhero movies in general.

The Worlds End movie review

The Worlds End is a Sci/Fi Comedy film directed by Edger Wright starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg back together again for another adventure. This movie is about a group of all friends getting back together in there old town to finish a beer run from pub to pub they left un-complete years ago. During the run they find that there old town is now over run by aliens. This movie is packed with comedic moments just like the previous Frost and Pegg films also maintaining its mystery and is not short on action. The movie has such a great cast with chemistry that will make you feel like they did go to school together. This movie is a laugh for adults and teenagers or anyone who enjoyed Shaun of the Dead and/or Hot Fuzz. The mild twists and unexpected moments of this film stand out and will draw the audience in even more. I would highly recommend this movie for anyone who wants to kick back and watch a great action com.

Epic movie review.

So today i watched the movie called epic and it does live up to its name. Its about a teenage girl named  Mary Katherine (M.K for short) who moves way out in to the forest to live with her hypo scientist father who is obsessed with finding this forest full of little people, M.K gets shrunk down and given a task to travel through this forest and safely deliver and look after a pod with help from the leafmen. This crisp looking film has a great story that is not completely original but pulls it off never the less. The animation is flawless and they done a really great job bringing this fantasy world to life and not to mention the voice cast. Christoph Waltz as the main bad guy stood out to me as he has that intimidating voice, Amanda Seyfried did such a good job voicing M.K and really made this story great. Josh Hutcherson was good in his role and Colin Farrell did well as the hero knight. I have to say this cast also is not short on music stars ether with Beyonce, Pitbull and Steven Tyler all providing voices. Over all this movie will be great for the kids and even for the adults something the whole family can enjoy.
