i'd rather go for the 3D effect where everything jumps out at you from the screen (now THAT's 3D!). the best 3D movie i've watched so far that i remember was The Polar Express at iMax Times Square years ago. shame they closed down the theatres.
anyway, we went for a movie marathon at TGV Pyramid right after we got back from KK. we've done 2 back-to-back movies before, so this day really broke the record by watching 3 non-stop @_@.
first up: Fast5.
-----
i don't really follow the F&F movies, but the they're kinda inter-related. the last movie ended with Toretto being shipped off somewhere on a prison transport, with the others planning an assault to free him, and this movie picks up the storyline from there.
i wish i can pull off a robbery such as that one. kakakakaka. i wish i could maneuver a car like that! Significant Other says there should be more car-action, more sexy cars, more hot love scenes? *scensored*.
stay til the end of the movie, there's a short scene right after the end of credits. annoying isn't it, that you have to sit through all those scrolling names just to see a 1-2 minute end scene? i think they purposely do that just to make you sit through all that, hahah. let's just say the Fast movies won't be ending so soon.
second up: Thor.
-----
i don't follow all the super heroes either, so i've never heard of this Thor person prior to this. i do know he's a Marvel comic character, haha. he's also some sort of god of thunder in Germanic mythology.
i got a big headache watching the movie through those 3D glasses. i really wished the movie had a bigger storyline, but mind you Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 83% approval rating so i guess my taste is different from other movie-goers =P. i wouldn't call it boring. bak kate my friends Lix and Niz, 'Thor is Awesome!' (their exact words haha). i just wished there was more action, you know? oh well. let's wait for The Avengers then.
you should also stay til the end of the movie, there's a short scene right after the end of credits. Nick Fury is everywhere these days, don't you think? he's busy recruiting it seems. lol.
we actually planned to watch 2 movies but after Thor ended Significant Other wanted to watch another movie, so we simply bought tickets for the next available movie, which was The Roommate. i didn't realize TGV Pyramid had cinemas #11 and #12 located at the other side of the hall.
third: The Roommate.
-----
so-so movie. think twice about acquiring a roommate after this. make sure your rommate is SANE. there's two kinds of crazy roommates: one that wants you all to your self, and one that practically wants to be you and might go up to the point that she might eliminate you just to become you. which one's your pick? =D
funny how the two main characters seem to look alike at some angles. Significant Other says Leighton Meester doesn't fit into her character, but what does he know? he's bias; he loves Blair Waldorf! (and he is such a die-hard Gossip Girl fan, he's a fan of the Humphrey-Waldorf storyline, hehe).
verdict?
Fast5 is worth watching if you like hot cars. and if you like Vin Diesel. and if you have any future plans in robbing the bank someday. my friends prefer Paul Walker though. haha.
Thor is ok. i probably shouldn't have watched it in 3D. i seriously wish they was more action though. and a guy looking as hot as Chris Hemsworth simply doesn't exist in real life, do they? =D
The Roommate is just plain blargh. hah. watch this if you don't have anything better to do.
a funny note to ponder: the wife of Chris Hemsworth has a role in Fast 5. guess which one she is =P. they look more or less the same, 'athletic-ky'. lol!
