[REVIEW] Elysium

via : wikipedia

Matt Damon and Jodie Foster played together in the sci-fi movie. Pretty good

Synopsis:

In the year 2159, mankind is divided into 2. Rich and poor. Poor people living on earth with the bad conditions and dirty air while the rich lived in a luxurious space station called Elysium. Max (Matt Damon) one of the worker that got radiation at work. He wanted to go to Elysium to cure the illness even though it meant he had to commit a crime.

The premise of this movie is already used in many films like Hunger Games. This film remains unique mainly from his own poster we will wonder why Matt Damon into a robot. Although in this film a lot of terms science and tend rambling, this film can still be followed.

Matt Damon showed surprising physical changes. His head is bald and his body becomes good (not fat like in the informant). His Acting can be no doubt as well as Jodie Foster who has won Oscar two times. The disturbing thing in this film is Jodie Foster’s accent ... so unnatural. That's it.

This film has a lot of values ​​such as caring and helping each other. Surely political story also complete the film. The film also closed with a great ending.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

via : wikipedia

Maze Runner The second installment is quite different from its predecessor

Synopsis:

After Thomas and his friends survived the maze, they were evacuated to safety place. But apparently they are still chased by organization WCKD. They must escape from WCKD that threaten their lives.

If in the previous Maze Runner, it’s quite boring with a slow pace, Scorch Trials will be a little different. At the beginning of the film, Scorch Trials’ paces are very quickly without pause, but when the film went into the middle, the flow was very slow and boring, and as it continues until the end of the movie. Perceived conflicts seem repetitive and less intense. A story of friendship between Thomas and his friends do not help this movie. Fortunately WCKD organizations discussed in detail in this film. Actually, the conflict in the new franchise Maze Runner was emphasized in this second film.

Oh yes, about Thomas, I might sound a bit biased but seriously, Thomas is the hero that most makes me upset. I don’t know why he was appointed as leader when he did not have planning, too emotional, and constantly questioning and that makes me upset. Yep, that's my opinion about Thomas

In this film, minor character such as Newt and Minho succeed steal scene. I even admit they are much cooler than Thomas as the main character

[REVIEW] Terminator Genisys (2015)

via:wikipedia 

Like I said, this is the year 2015 the return of a successful franchise. After Jurassic Park, Terminator now has been returned

Synopsis:

John Connor (Jason Clarke) sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) to protect his mother Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke). But Sarah Connor turns out differently than expected. She is not a coward and can survive. In fact she has Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) at her side. They must work together to complete the mission to protect the human future from the robot.

Actually I watch this movie without any expectation.  I only wanted to fill spare time with watching movies. After Terminator Salvation which I think is not good at all, the film is quite forgivable though the website rotten tomatoes gave a low rating.

Before watching this movie, you should watch terminator 1 and 2. Both films were connected with this film. Especially Terminator 1. Even though there are some explanations at the beginning of the film and in the middle of a movie about 'What is going on', it is only a short and quick dialogue making it quite confusing for those who have never watched the previous series.

For the CGI effects of T-1000, is quite disappointing and not much different from the Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Whereas there should be the development of technology in 2015. For another CGI scenes are good enough. The actor who played T-1000 is Lee Byunghun, senior actor from South Korea.

Chemistry between Emilia and Arnold are very nice. Emilia Clarke who is famous through Game of Throne series can play a role as Sarah Connor who is tough. The fans certainly are looking forward forTerminator Arnie, who became the mascot well as the main attraction of the film. His performance complete with his memorable catchphrase "I'll be back". Arnold’s appearance is as spoken in the movie "Old but not obsolete"

Terminator Genisys is to be made trilogy itself and not to follow the previous Terminator series. This film should be watched for those who are fond of this franchise.
