MOVIE REVIEW - "RAMPAGE"


George was an albino gorilla which was infected by a genetically modified pathogen/serum from outer space which resulted him to grow rapidly and become more aggressive and vicious. The only person who could stop George from destroying the city should be Okoye, George's adopted parent - a primatologist, who also an ex-soldier. The problem was there were another two animals who had grown to become giants and machines that destroyed the city and its people - a wolf and a crocodile. Do not worry, the superhero who was invincible to save the world was there - Dwayne Johnson a.k.a the Rock was unbelievably immortal to an extent that the whole story has become illogical. But then, we were there to see magic on screen and the CGI was so good that we thought everything was real.


Very high entertainment value but quite violent but there were many parents bringing small kids to watch the movie. Perhaps, they thought the gorilla in the movie would be a cuddly and could not kill human beings. But then, nowadays violence equals to entertainment, I suppose. *sigh*

MOVIE REVIEW - "MOANA"


When the fish no longer swam around the island and the plants were all destroyed, Moana, the 16 year old daughter of the chief, was determined to solve the problems for her people. Even though her father forbade her, Moana sailed into the open and wild sea and met Maui [the voice provided by Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson who is a Samoan], the demi-god, who once stole the heart of the goddess Te Fiti. They had to return the heart to its rightful owner and hence, the adventure began and friendship was developed between the two.
  

I just saw good things in the movie, with positive values in abundance and many comical scenes. With beautiful animation and beautiful music, something like a semi-musical movie, what else should one be asking for? 

This movie was based on the myth and legend of the Polynesians. I tried to google for more and I found quite a lot of interesting links which I would visit and read later. Watching "Moana" is actually not just for entertainment, but one could also learn and appreciate others' values, culture and history.
