REVIEW: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

Plot: Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

I didn't manage to watch the first one, but i heard it was so much better than this one. I was not impressed by this sequel, it is an example of how sequels can go wrong. I didn't like the way and pace that the story was told. Nevertheless, the marvelous visual effects will stun you. Thank goodness for Hollywood.

Rating: 2.5/5

REVIEW: Ice Age 3: Dawn of inosaurs

Plot: When Sid's attempt to adopt three dinosaur eggs gets him abducted by their real mother to an underground lost world, his friends attempt to rescue him.

Yet another fun-filled adventure set in the Ice Age, this one, also, is intelligent and humorous at a moderate and balanced rate. Better than I'd expected. But then again, there is a limit to how great such a film can be.

Rating: 4/5

REVIEW: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

Plot: A bachelor is haunted by the ghosts of his past girlfriends at his younger brother's wedding.

Sigh... I'm not impressed. In fact, i'm disappointed to have wasted my time and money. The storyline is so boring and the cast is not impressive at all. So sorry.

Rating: 1.5/5

REVIEW: Terminator Salvation

Plot: After Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust, a group of survivors led by John Connor struggles to keep the machines from finishing the job.

Kudos to the sound engineers and technicians who filled up the visuals and made it all work, with maximal impact. T4 is highly and aesthetically entertaining, and should be examplified by other film makers of this genre.

Rating: 4/5

REVIEW: Drag Me to Hell

Plot: A loan officer ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.

A very good laugh for me. If you were to narrate this whole story, it just sounds stupid. Some scary parts do not make sense and could be mistaken for a wacky... THE MASK-ish remake that failed. Honestly, it isn't a scary film.

Rating: 2.5/5

REVIEW: State of Play

This film is about how a few investigative journalists track down the crook behind a very mysterious murder of a congressman's mistress.

A very suspenseful and fast-paced political thriller, categorized under the either-you-like-it-or-you-don't section. Amazing performances by Russel Crowe and Helen Mirren. A good watch, but rather forgettable.

Rating: 4/5

REVIEW: Star Trek

Plot: Journey through space and time.

Star Trek was a fun watch, though I did get confused with the plot a little. Credits for superb visual and, especially, audio effects.
