Star Trek Into Darkness | is freaking awesome

Quick review
I LOVE it! I'll give Star Trek Into Darkness a  9  out of 10. Awesome cast. Solid acting. Lots of kick-ass action with enough amount of emotion and heart. (CinemaScore gives the movie an " A ", IMDb gives  8.3 , Rotten Tomatoes certifies it  fresh  scoring 86% from critics, 89% from audience)

Smooth special effects, too. The 3D makes the warps big fun. I have great time watching it. 

And the villain -- oh, the villain. Benedict Cumberbatch! Simply amazing. Just... amazing. Awesome. Brilliant. Superb. What else...

In short? Definitely worth to watch on big screen!

First: le Traileurs (what)
Ah, the drops of water that quenched my thirst since I waited for it years ago.. Ima embed them here~ just for future viewing. This first trailer on the list is the one that fits the mood of the movie most, I think.

enough heart and emotion, enough action and laughter.
...maan, now i wanna watch it again

warp! and amazing scenery. red planet!

Plot & Cast 
For the plot, I'll only say this: basically the movie's about the crew trying to catch the terrorist "John Harrison". Whose voice is badass. And since I'm mentioning him, I'll start the cast countdown with the one I love the most:

"JOHN HARRISON", Commander - That dude in the poster. The villain. Brilliantly, amazingly, awesomely portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch. Cold, calculating, witty, brutally ruthless and efficient, Cumberbatch's John Harrison WILL make you pay attention to him every time he's on screen. Cos he's such a badass. And there's even a point in the movie where I 'get' where he's coming from and kinda rooting for him.

Cumberbatch's definitely one of the major strength of Star Trek Into Darkness (although the rest of the cast are also doing a great job, mind you).

And when he got John Harrison to speak! Oh my gaawd.. Dat VOICE! So out of this world. Heck, a day after I got out of the movie the first time, I felt like I was still high and weak in the knees just from hearing his voice!

I especially love when he half-whispered/spat the word "Captain," to Kirk when he first met Kirk and co, with loathe dripping from his tone. W.O.W. I got goosebumps remembering it. And that cold, unblinking, steely gaze doesn't hurt, either. ;)

benedict cumberbatch - dang it, why is your voice so sexy??

Btw. Turns out that there's a scene where John Harrison is showering that wasn't included in the movie. I read it on hollywoodreporter. But what do you know: Abrams gives us this EXCLUSIVE peek at it on Conan show:

About Benedict, the British actor also did a genius job in Sherlock (BBC), the multiple award winner tv mini-series of a modern day Sherlock Holmes. 9.2 on IMDb! Can't wait for the next season (season 3).

He mostly do documentary I think, mostly on BBC. He played Vincent van Gogh, Stephen Hawking (where he got an award in it. oh, he was amazing!), did an amazing short film with Tom Hardy in "Stuart: A Life Backwards", he's on star-studded movie "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", he's playing legendary dragon Smaug in "The Hobbit", ... Man, I can go on and on about him. Hmm, I think I'll get him his own corner in another entry.

Point is: he is hot. Some people say he looks 'weird'. But for me, the fact that he's different is what makes him all the more scorching hot. And he's awesome. And can act. And he's such a shy (and sometimes cutely awkward) and down to earth gentleman who smiles a lot too, in real life. Ah, Benedict. I think have a crush on you. Blush blush.

JAMES T. KIRK, Commander/Captain - Or just "Jim", the captain of the ship. The gut-feeling-factor of the movie. Portrayed by Chris Pine.

I like that Pine can bring out the emotion and fragility to the brash and sometimes cocky (?) Kirk. Makes the character likable, even if I'm sometimes pissed at him for being so reckless at times. The dude is a preetty good actor, I must say.

Rise of the Guardians | 3D animation, action, adventure movie. Want.

Hugh Jackman, Chris Pine, Jude Law - Eye candiies~ Well, ga literally sih, cos mereka cuman 'keliatan' suara doang iks. Pilemnya 3D animation, dan dari trailernya kayakna asik ni pilemnyak. Adventure, magic, action, and unorthodox portraying of the fairy tales characters. Ni yang di poster lengannya Santa, btw. Tatonya keren bang.











Inti ceritanya, Bogeyman membelot n pengen ngebuat dreams anak-anak isinya nightmare doang. Dan tokoh-tokoh utama bergabung untuk mencegahnya. You know, the usual.

Btw. Ternyata setelah browsing, baru tau kalo tokoh utamanya si Jack Frost (Chris Pine, Star Trek guy). Belum keliatan di teasernya di atas ya. Jadi penasaran, kayak apa ni si abang bentuknya, cos karakter lainnya agak beda ma biasanya digambarkan di dongeng-dongeng.

[edit:] Scratch that: this is Jack Frost. Handsome bloke, you.

Characters (so far), pics dari snapshot di teaser di atas (credits to Dreamworks Animation ya~):

Battleship | fun, action, army, movie

Fun movie! - Put down the lust for intricate and slow plot for awhile. It's time for high-tech weapon show-off!

"Boom," is what Rihanna said. 

Ya namanya juga pilem action, jadi ni film fokusnya ke action! n explosions! n cool visual effects! -- which SUCKS for me cos di bioskopnya cuma ada versi 2D doang. Argh Empire, Empire... Kejamnya dirimu hiks. Me wanna watch the 3D versioon :(( booo booo. Gara-gara Titanic 3D tuh kayakna -__-

Anyways. Intinya sih posisi kita diketahui planet alien yang terus kirim tentara untuk ngeliat planet ini. Seperti yang dikatakan masnya di awal movie:

Kalo sampe ada kehidupan cerdas di luar sana, it'd be like Columbus and the Indians; except that we're the Indians. 

Nah, ternyata memang persis seperti itu. Tapi menurutku, benernya aliennya juga ga jahat-jahat amat sih. Maksudnya, reaksi mereka ya mirip reaksi kita kalo misalnya kita ke planet yang benar-benar asing kok, so it's pretty easy to be at their shoes. 

Mereka juga sebenarnya ga asal ngehancurin bumi, tapi milih cuma target yang threatening buat mereka yang dihajar. So, it counts as self-defend. I think.

Bourne Legacy | a spin-off?

(a re-post of an entry from rotikismis )


JEREMY RENNER ris laris nis manis uy - Lanjutan franchise agen Bourne yang ini, The Bourne Legacy, ternyata ga dibintangi ma mas Matt Damon. Dengar-dengar si masnya ga mau ikut di pilem ini lagi karena produsernya ganti. Dia lebi cocok ma produser lama, jadi begitu produsernya ganti dia memutusKEN UNTUK!! ga ikutan.

Nah, biar ga menutup kemungkinan kembalinya si Matt (bukan mas Amat yang jual kupat tahu *aack garings mania*), si produser bikin naskahnya dibikin beda ma novel aslinya. Jadi semacam spin-off ya (tapi kok judulnya sama yak.. oh, well.). 


Ceritanya tentang seorang agen lain yang sepabrikan ma mas Bourne. Yang memerankan agen lain ini adalah *drumroll* Jeremy Renner *enter squealling fan girl here*.

Inti cerita movienya sih --and I quote-- :

There was never just one.

In case masi asing ma nama Jeremy Renner: dia yang paling akhir ikut di Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, jadi anggota tim Tom Cruise. Dia juga sempat cameo dikit di pilem Thor, persiapan kali yak, cos dia bakal memerankan Hawkeye (superhero yang senjatanya panah--love it) di The Avengers yang isinya bintang-bintang gede itu tyuh (semoga ga gagal, cos like they say: too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup).

Yang pasti, mengecewakan fans Bourne series or not, diriku kayakna akan nonton. The action seems pretty cool. AND I kinda have the hots for Mr. Renner there :"> . So.

Summer 2012! I'll be waiting~~
