Quick review of films watched last 2 weeks!
Inside out: Absolutely beautiful! The design wasn't extremely unique, but the thought behind it and the storytelling was lovely! It didn't follow the usual pixar story structure with one character and his/her arc (which is also awesome), but was great nevertheless.
Terminator: Genysis: I didn't have extremely high hopes for this film, but it was really below whatever expectations I had. The action was good, but they took some of the iconic shots from the originals. The storyline was haphazard and the time-travelling was so overused. The characters really needed to be fleshed out better and Khaleesi was terrible casting for Sarah Connor. She looked chubby and cute instead of badass, and trust me, I love Emilia Clarke. But no. The rest were pansies, besides Schwarzenegger of course. He never ceases to be awesome as the terminator (a.k.a: Pops)
Jurassic World: I really regret not seeing this in the theatre. Lakshmi totally gave it a rotten rating, so we downloaded a decent print and gave it a shot. I absolutely LOVED it. I LOVED the action, LOVED the Chris Pratt, and LOVED the dinosaurs! I felt like going home and reading all my books on dinosaurs again. The VFX was stunning, and the animation of all the dinos was top notch. Give it a watch in 3D if you guys can.
Minions: I was gonna go for a film Ishan suggested - Killa. But we got late by 15 mins and I didn't want to watch it like that, so I went for Minions with Akshay Arvind. The three of us laughed so much throughout and it was super fun! I'm not a despicable me fan, but the minions and the main villian - 'Scarlet' were hilarious. I noticed the amazing character design and boarding, hats off to them for making us come out laughing like that! Absolute fun.
Black Mirror: Lastly on a more serious note, this TV series is the most thought provoking and intellectually stimulating series I've ever seen. It really deserves a special mention, and I have been meaning to write so much about it, but I get speechless (literally) by the end of each episode. This series COULD NOT be more Unrrated. Thanks Ishan was the passed on recommendation.
Hope you guys can share what you all thought of these films and Black Mirror, and we can discuss it wherever! ;) Cheers! Over and out.
