Angels & Demons

I'm fortunate to able to watch Angels and Demons at the premiere date at the KLCC despite I'm quite dissatisfied with the ambiance of the cinema, such as the carpet of the cinema emitted some weird smells as well as the cushion in the seats of the cinema. It feels as these seats and carpet needed to be place under the hot scorching sun to eliminate those foul smells. Not to forget, a ignorant person who brought a walkie-talkie equipment in the cinema. It spoils the exciting moments (such as Langdon going to discover the murder scenes) by emitting loud  and squeaking monotonous sound, waiting for the owner to response.

 

Warning, for the eyes who have seen the movie or do not feel offended by looking at facts that might spoil the fun. I shall held no responsibility on that.

 

The movie plot is modified from the original book, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, with more direct, quick and slick both action and thriller movie.

What is not included in this package are the side plots of the storyline, such as the elaborated explanation about anti-matter, the reporter who receive information from the murderer and the famous leap of faith from the helicopter is not done by Langdon.

Overall, it is a good movie to kill time and enjoy the informative investigation by Robert Langdon and his team on discovering the Vatican's City most deadly secrets. A must not miss movie.

Rating: 4.2/5

Nokiafield

In response of my friend has blogged the review of cloverfield, I have some additional information to add after I watched Nokiafield instead of Cloverfield.

The whole movie was filmed by a casual video camera noob user which involves a lot of movement around, unsteady shots and motion sickness handling of the video camera.

As the movie unrolls itself, you will see Nokia everywhere. Even before the monstar starts to run amok, you will notice that New Yorkers love Nokia phone so much that if you don't have a Nokia phone, you are outdated an outsider!

"...they quickly evacuate from the building and head out to the street below just to witness with their own eyes the Statue of Liberty's head rolling like a bowling ball onto the street. It looks funny when almost everyone get their cellphones and cameras out to take pictures of the head"

This is where everyone gets so excited in showing how good their nokia phones able to capture instant photos for press and blogging purposes.

The movie also stressed that even in poor reception you will able to use Nokia phone perfectly. However, it also advertise one of Nokia's drawback -- medicore battery power. When Rob wants to make more call, he realized that he is running out of juice. Thinking out of the box, he rushed to the nearest electronic store where they are selling only genuine nokia batteries.

Whem the trio run to the subway that owned by Nokia, you will see only Nokia advertisement around.

The rest of the movie is less dominated by Nokia (maybe I wasn't paying attention).

Therefore, Nokia + Cloverfield = Nokiafield.
