Tomorrowland movie from the beginning to make people exasperated because of its promotion of the all mysterious, even the trailer and the synopsis does not help at all. Though labeled a Disney film which is usually light and fun and easy to digest for the whole family. Tomorrowland itself was still a "Disney movie" which is how sophisticated its action and adventure remains a family-oriented, but it is also true that this film is designed like a mysterious works of the writer, Damon Lindelof (Lost series, Prometheus).

After watching, first of all, I admit I was intrigued at the concept and idea would be submitted. This film is about how human effort to realize his dream of a better future, but always obstructed by another man happy nature damage and devastated the dream anyway. Then dreamers and inventors that make Tomorrowland, a city in another dimension that is already ahead of the world "we" now because they do not ridden political interest and gross human motivation. Then there were as many now are "scare" about the bleak future of humans - including films post-apocalytic, but there is one man who remains optimistic wants to change it so much the better. Big ideas are sufficiently conveyed well in this movie.

Plot of the film itself is actually as simple as a teenage boy (who looks old = p) "elected" to find a way to Tomorrowland though not know also why he should go there. For that he must be assisted by a little girl who is not a girl and not small (?) And an uncle who was never to Tomorrowland but were driven back to the earth, because as beautiful-beautiful dream when he was small, it all fell apart when he "see the world" and know what it is bitterness and disappointment. But still, the reason why they have to go there and do keep bothering me. Well, as it turns out that the mystery was revealed at the end of the movie.

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is, I do not understand the true intent and purpose of the overall film, hahaha. Kayak exist in various layers of the story, but I caught just a little. Fortunately it has included its love story that does not feel awkward reasonable read CLAMP manga. But, I think I can not catch it thoroughly. Perhaps the point is no one party that wants to let man reach for one's own demise while others build something new, and there are others who want to prevent it for the common good. I think anyway, but do not know deh also it does so or baseball. Even the ending of this movie I'm still unsure whether I bener estimates that it is indeed meant so * avoid spoilers * * gak *. There is a feeling prop when absorb what I had seen. This film is like a clumsy between want fun or want to absurd. Maybe there is not so good Disney movie, because it is rather difficult to digest point. But I can not help anymore, just the title is taken from Disneyland rides.

But, as a spectacle, I do not hesitate to say that this Tomorrowland entertaining. Brad Bird directing style that does not talk much fun it remains to be seen (probably doi influence was wide animation director of The Incredibles and Ratatouille many languages ​​use images), his action was laid out okay - absurd but okay anyway, and visualization cities Tomorrowland- Her cause admiration, cause I was really looking forward to the future world could be like that. Saucy pictures seen, I myself watched in IMAX and the film fits in the format. So overall, though not a hundred percent satisfied, I still feel watching Tomorrowland it worth my money, and values ​​that would be submitted also relevant and could I receive. A strange way (but somewhat cutting edge) to spread hope and optimism, but let's just say I would rather feed the good wolf, so I want to absorb the fine of the film.

My score: 7/10

Despicable Me (2010) -and its sequel, Despicable Me 2 (2013), is the animated film has enough uniqueness. First, the film makes a villain as the protagonist, although is made ridiculous and still have a heart to the theme of family is quite thick. Second, the main figures of the film was even less well-known than the characters aides, called the minion. With the form, the doings, and the language of cute adorable, the minion become a new star in the world of animation. Naturally, this opportunity was used by the animation studio Illumination Entertainment to create a movie spin-off called Minions, giving place to the yellow creature appeared in front.

Minions conceived as a prequel of Despicable Me, as well as the story of the origins of the minion. Minions was indeed created to serve and admire anyone who strongest-that usually are criminals. They are always looking for such figures to be the boss. Ranging from Tyrannosaurus rex in ancient, medieval Dracula, until Napoleon Bonaparte in the 19th century. Unfortunately, they often lose their bosses because of their own carelessness.

Life without meaning and purpose because it did not have a boss, three minion named Kevin, Stuart, and Bob (all voiced Pierre Coffin) do odyssey looking for a new boss. They reached the United States, and knowing there was a convention of the criminals from all over the world, featuring Scarlett Overkill (Sandra Bullock), which is touted as the greatest villain today. Three minion is also trying to make Scarlett as their bosses, although they had to do quite heavy conditions: steal the crown of the Queen of England.

Minions is one example of a film that is immune to criticism. However the quality of the film, the film will still be welcomed crowded. Frankly, the story is not the main selling materials of the existence of this film. Illumination Entertainment (and studio Universal Pictures) already know very well the market share of their property this one, the children and their parents, who will surely be interested in just seeing the minion is acting on the big screen. Good or poor quality, which is important the existence of these minions stronger and lifted again. Or in another language, it could be a momentum to increase sales of its merchandise.

The story of the origin of the minion who finally met with Gru (the main character in Despicable Me) can actually be done with a short, maybe even fit in a short film. However, because the value of the minions are very high to be sold, of course a pity if only made short films. Unfortunately, the opportunity to make a longer movie does not encourage the manufacturer to make the story more contained.

With equal humor, movie Despicable Me before at least trying to bring family values ​​and acceptance between Gru with the arrival of three orphans. Meanwhile, the Minions it as just a set of sketch comedy of the minion who spliced-connect, entertain a moment without moments that really worth remembering. This film does not have something that can make the minion is preferable than before, in addition to regular laughter each see their silliness with his slapstick humor, which is also not surprising.

It should be recognized that a number of times humor was successful. Besides cuteness minion, the film also slipped Mockery humor that may be more pervasive in the adult audiences-especially how the film made a habit caricature Englishman who likes to drink tea and speak politely. The film is also packed with animated graphics are very smooth and clean, and the design of the characters and objects are interesting and colorful. However, like sweet drinks with artificial coloring and sugar are not healthy for the body, what does it mean humor and interesting pictures without a strong story and characterization. Even when the story moved to the moment the minion given power and was not able to because of their nature are devoted-also evaporated without a trace.

However, once again, because this film was obviously made just to make the audience flocked to buy tickets to the movie theater to laugh and feel passionately alone, Minions not completely "innocent" of the shortfall. Minions managed by naked eyes, fun and entertaining when seen, although it is the sensation that just got there. This film is like a pass away without giving trace means, other than the suggestion to buy toys and ornaments minion only.

 

My score: 6,5/10

Director : Thor Freudenthal

Starring : Zachary Gordon, Robert Capron, Rachel Harris, Steve Zahn, Connor Fielding, Owen Fielding, Devon Bostick dan Chloe Moretz. 
Year : 2010
Score : 3,5 of 5
20th Century Fox

Synopsis:

Adapted from the successful work of Jeff Kinney's novel of the same name, the film tells the life of a boy - men Haffley Greg (Zachary Gordon) who just entered junior high school. Greg summarizes the humorous story of his life in a diary (which he admits is named journal), including about his family, his friends, and friends - classmates.

My Review:

Not many films about the lives of children 1 junior class (or a lot huh? Obviously I have not seen the movie - the movie ...), and The Diary of a Wimpy Kid summarizes the life story of boys - junior boys class 1 well. I think the film (including book) is so funny and fresh as Jeff Kinney is not stuck to include elements of romance in the style of a love-monkey in the film.

Jeff Kinney try to present a new perspective to explain about the meaning of friendship, and the recording - the recording of his childhood about how he sees the world through the eyes of a guy 12 years. No detail - detail that witty, that seemed escapes most teen movie genre today. About the legend of cheese stuck on the basketball court, how to dress in order to look cool, and the desire to be popular at school is - simple things are so special in this film. Extraordinary, the only thing was the brain child of 12 years it could be an interesting thing to me that ten years older. I also like the hubbub of the family of Greg. Brother - men nosy, little brother who followed Greg where - where, indifferent father and mother neutralize everything is a common family life. Simplicity was otherwise cause cuteness fun and not excessive.

Many film critics say it is, that Freudenthal failed to execute the film of the book well. Thus, for some people who have read the book and watched the new film will probably be disappointed. It is often the case of the film is taken from a book. For example, most Harry Potter fans are always disappointed with the films they have seen because it is not as much fun as his novels. But lucky me, I have not read the novel so that it can calmly watch this movie without being stuck with a detailed story of the novel that I never read it.

Recommended for:

You want to look for alternative comedy, you need a movie that can be watched family together - together, and you have just entered junior high school.
