Inception

Watched @ Eng Wah Suntec City

It's about dreams. It's actually like matrix. It's like a bridge that makes matrix seems much more realistic and possibly achievable. It's scary and yet so worth looking forward to. Paradox is apparent thru-out the movie. But it's a good show to watch. Make your brains think and think. Even though it's a movie that has a beginning and an end, somehow there's so many part of the movie which allows for speculation. So much areas left for imagination and interpretation.

Just think about it. Look at every detail of the movie from a different angle and you can find that the movie could have been telling a totally different story. I think that's what makes it magnificent!!! You know what's the best part? I only thought about this point NOW!!! almost 6hrs after watching the movie. How interesting is that!?

Children of Men (2006)

Watched on 19th June 2009
@ PPStream

I've been watching quite a few movies online thru this program called PPStream. It's quite good actually. They have "new" movies or series updated every now and then. Since this blog is about movies I will not talk about the serials I've watched on it and only focus on movies.

This movie is set in the future 2027, where mankind is on the verge of extinction cos we have lost the ability to reproduce. It's an interesting plot, considering it's a 3 year old movie. But similar plots can be found in Æon Flux. I find watching this movie reminding me alot abt Æon Flux, cloning will be the only future man has if we do not reproduce.

Anyway, back to Children of Men, in a world were there had been no babies for almost 2 decades, a miracle has happened. Kee, a young African somehow got pregnant. And the story flows along the line of bringing her to a group of humanitarians only known as the Human Project.

The whole plot does have a few loopholes here and there, but it is plausible. So I just watched on to see the ending. Well... it's a typical disaster movie ending, people die so people can survive...

Oh I have to mention this, the whole world is IN CHAOS, and UK is the only government left in the world!! HAHAHAA!!! Even Singapore was destroyed, yes we appeared in a newsflash for less than a second..
