Review: Skyline





Alien invasion are always cool in entertainment world, Independence Day, Men in Black, Halo, Transformers and the list just go on... This year, is Skyline who comes in and fill the void, and are really disappointing.


Let's just start with the basics, plot. This movie lack even the most simplest form of alien invasion storyline, that is the purpose of the alien. In Men in Black and Transformers, aliens (or robots you say in Transformers) comes to the Earth to find something that is lost to the galaxy and discovered on Earth. In Skyline, there's nothing explaining why there are lights up in the air sucking people up. NOTHING!!! The story feel completely disjointed and all over the place...

The cast are not good as well... In the prologue already you know that this movie's dialogue and acting are weird and in complete mess.

For a budget around $20-30 million, it has a very good visual and sound effects, for a sci-fi movie... But for everything else, go watch another low budget sci-fi movie, District 9...

Pros: Brilliant visual effects, sound effects and action sequences
Cons: Everything else

Verdict: 2/5 (Skip)

Review: Megamind





"I try to use a much more humble name, Megamind", This is what Megamind said when in the prologue of the movie. Megamind is not a movie under 12-years olds, but for someone older (like me), it was a really a fun and laugh out laugh movie. Movies typically tells a story about a hero and his struggles. But in Megamind, Dreamworks decided to put villains as protagonis, in a good way.


The story is not as brilliant as it seems, the story is very predictable with its directions. The only surprise of the movies is what happened to Metro Man (Not a spoiler), the rest just go along.

Why I said 12-year-olds won't find this movie funny? Well, the humours in the movie are very adult orientated, for example politics, love triangles, musics, tributes to other movie... These jokes usually don't work towards kids and I know it by seeing those children's response to the jokes, only 6 of us laughing most of the time (the audiences sure felt weird). For me, the jokes are really nice and me and my cousins and sisters laughed really loud at the cinema...

Verdict: 3.5/5
