The World's End (2013) - IMDb
9/10 from my side. A good print is out although it is just a screener but good enough. The movie was a lot more fun than most of the hollywood garbage that come out and that is why i love british scifi/comedy or horror/comedy genre a lot more. The story is pretty fun and the performances are all very good. I will consider it almost as good as the great "shawn of the dead". Do give it a try guys...

I love these guys and their movies. Which print did you watch? How good was it?

Well it is a screener and was good enough... it is not a dvdrip though although the quality is not bad and it is not a better looking camera. There are a lot of annoying chinese subtitles though...

[Lord Ammar]

Fast and Furious 6 - 8/10 - Thoroughly entertaining flick if you don't take the ridiculousness of every car chase scene in the movie seriously.

The world's end. ​

NOW this is how you do comedy. Loved it. Forget Elysium, Fast 6, Man of steel etc etc, This is My favourite movie of this year after Star Trek Into darkness.

I knew it was going to be good considering the previous works (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the dead) of the awesome comedic trio Edgar Wright (Director), Simon Pegg and Nick frost. But it blew away my expectations.

It was a Sci fi comedy and DAMN it was a good one. The cast is great. It was well acted, well written, well directed, had awesome and really enjoyable action scenes, and really over the top enjoyable sci fi story. I was smiling almost throughout the movie and was laughing out loud at some points at really great jokes. There was good character development too with some emotional drama scenes thrown in the mix, which added to the movie.

Simon pegg stole the show for me. His character was awesome and his acting was really awesome. That's not to say that the other actors acted really well too. Everyone was giving their best. There was a small role of Pierce Brosnan (Previous james bond) too, which I thought was a really nice touch.

The first half of the movie is friends getting together after a long time type comedy and its pretty funny, but then the sci fi aspect kicks in and the film goes into over drive from there. There are some really cool and funny action scenes, WHICH are ridiculous, but works well for the movie. Loved them. They were surprisingly very well choreographed too, especially considering this is a comedy movie.

There were also some hidden deeper meaning of the story regarding humans, some of which were shown in some really funny ways. The ending was really surprising and I loved it.

Definitely one of my favourite comedy movie of all time. A must watch for everyone, especially if you liked/loved Shaun of the dead and/or Hot fuzz.
Highly recommended.

8.8/10

Snitch: 6.5/10
it was OK drama, a bit of action but since dwayne was in it, i wanted to see some more action but that kinda left me disappointed....

das experiment: 7/10
Now this movie was good, hollywood copied this and made the one with adrian and forest whitaker, now this one worked as a team and showed all people equally the hollywood one pretty much made adrian and whitaker THE MAIN lead guys as they do... so IMO if i had to choose this german one was overall GOOD but acting wise THE HOLLYWOOD remake BEAT'S this one to a pulp, that maniac acting from whitaker was just TOO GOOD and adrian wasn't bad too !

jack the giant slayer: 7/10
Just pure family fun movie this is, could had been made so much good with gore and stuff but not even a pinch of blood in this one PG rating anwyays good

Porkys: 7/10

TRANCE (2013)​

Danny Boyle needs no introduction. 127 Hours & Slumdog Millionaire are names quite famous, evident of his phenomenal work. Trance is something different from Boyle, something which would make the audience confuse, and make you board the roller-coaster ride to a sub-conscious world.

From the beginning, Trance tests your patience and requires your undivided attention. The first quarter makes you question, Is it a Thriller focused on Revenge for stolen property? Second Quarter makes you wonder, if its just about the lost painting? Third Quarter is where things pick up the pace but you still ask whether its a Love Story? Till you reach the end, you think that you have solved the confusion and have predicted the ending. BUT NO. It tests your attention till the very end. It seems for a moment that its a Fight of a man with himself.

Script was weak where it could've been more interested and thought provoking, making the audience ask questions on several occasions like - "Why there was a need for Rosario Dawson to show full frontal nudity, or Why she needed to sleep with MvAvoy". The acting could've been less emotional by McAvoy for audience to figure out what exactly was going on. But we are forgetting that Boyle made the audience struggle, so all things forgiven.

Earlier we have only heard about Hypnotism in novels and stuff but the actual presentation of it was quite thrilling to watch to be honest.

Spoiler: show

The start makes you feel James McAvoy being the good guy but till the end, you may find Vincent Cassel (Ocean's 13, Black Swan) more interesting character than the former

The ending part where Cassel is stuck in the burning Car was so intense and well shot that for a moment it suck me into the movie. Trance 'eh?

That being said, i don't appreciate Rosario Dawson showing this kind of nudity. I like her in Respectful, emotional and appealing roles like in Seven Pounds. Nonetheless, she was a focused part of the movie and i like her screen presence.

Plot was brilliant, story telling was phenomenal and mind-boggling, acting was superb and emotions - HIGH. Infact, this may remind the audience the "feel" of Seven Pounds (2008) movie on several occasions especially when McAvoy was with Dawson. And some places would hint another Inception (2010). The chemistry between James McAvoy & Rosario Dawson was immensely over shadowed by the deep strong emotions by McAvoy.



You will immediately fall in Love with Trance after you cross the first 20 minutes & You will immensely appreciate the work of Boyle and the great shiny piece he presented (despite all its shortcomings). I'd easily give it 8/10. Besides, even after paying undivided attention, i still had to take approx 5-10 minutes to revise the movie in my head, to see what actually happened lol.

THE COLONY (2013)
​

If anyone of you have seen Pandorum (2009), you will find this movie quite similar. Almost the same subject "Survival", but Earth is Fine this time, just Colder ... & snowy.

The Colony tries to make a dark atmosphere where a small population of human is trying to survive the Frozen earth, when they find a Colony goes feral. Humans kill each other for food and after that it goes on like a wild-goose chase. I couldn't find any single thing where i could differentiate this from the other movies on the same subject. Which means the ending was kind of predictable.

Action sequences were lame, characters weak & plot linear. I was interested to see Laurence Fishburne (if anyone remember Morpheus from The Matrix series) but with little to no acting and no being-hard-ass stuff, it got bored very soon. Film makers did a very good thing killing him early which kinda kept his role almost solid.

The lead actor Sam (Kevin Zegers) and her lady love Kai (Charlotte Sullivan) had no chemistry at all, no impressive dialogues exchange, heck no emotions as well.

All in all it was an OKAY watch and good thing it was not overly stretched, with 1 hour & 34 minutes. I'd rate it 5/10.

Aisa he samajh looo my dear...First watch Iron man 3 & Avenger then you'll know

I have seen them.
And Man of steel action scenes seem fine by me. There is no one like Superman in those movies so you can't compare their fight scenes.

The World's End

Could have used at least one more track from Sisters of Mercy.

NOW this is how you do comedy. Loved it. Forget Elysium, Fast 6, Man of steel etc etc, This is My favourite movie of this year after Star Trek Into darkness.

I saw that this weekend, i though it was pretty mediocre TBH, I haven't seen Elysium yet but I'm almost entirely certain it'll be better than Star trek.
