MOVIE REVIEW - MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: FALLOUT

Many people go to the cinema just to see Tom Cruise again on the screen. Some say Cruise never ages - he stays young forever. Nevertheless, try to focus on his neck rather than his face and you can see that he actually has grown old, just like others.

Anyway, this is one movie you should go and watch. The actions were just endless, and you will be clutching the seats even though you know that hero never dies. One thing I learn for sure is when you are flying a helicopter and then your machine is struck by bullets, or the engine caches fire, you must quickly say: "No! No! No!"

I was just hoping Cruise could quickly get the remote at the end of the movie and save the world. Too much prolonged suspense and I am sure there were people in the audience who needed to rush to the bathroom after that.

Rotten Tomato gives five-star review for this movie. You will all get easily entertained with abundance of actions and fights (read: violence)? I must admit, I did.

MOVIE REVIEW - "EDGE OF TOMORROW"

I initially wanted to watch another movie but it was not shown at that particular time so without much choice, we went for "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Cruise. This was one very confusing movie, which had the tagline: "Live. Die. Repeat." Basically, the hero of the story, Tom Cruise a.k.a Cage was the only person who could save planet earth from mass destruction (AGAIN?) against the aliens. He was the superhero who had the power to come back alive, as if he just woke up from a dream, every time he was dead. So what he had to do as a soldier was to improvise his strategies and techniques to destroy the aliens. A cat has nine lives, Cage had many more. It was a happy ending even though audience would still be left in confusion how could that happen. In fact there were scenes that were repeated many times, something like a de javu.

Nevertheless, this was an entertaining movie and fortunately I did not doze off, like what happened while watching "Spiderman" and "Godzilla". The movie in fact has received good reviews from moviegoers.
