Pacific Rim (2013)
9/10
best gigantic war movies ...ever made...
13 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
viewing a gigantic war movie in 3-d was really an awesome experience.the director Guillermo del Toro and the total special effect team made the monster's look vivid.their was humor through out the movie and the gigantic action scene will really blow you away,and above all the plot was also good.

PLOT - The Jaeger program is initially successful in fending off Kaiju attacks and at first turns the tide of the war. However, over time, Kaiju cross through the portal at a faster rate, with each new Kaiju becoming increasingly well-adapted for fighting against the Jaegers. As such, the robots become less and less effective, causing the now-united governments of Earth to lose faith in the Jaegers' ability to defend humanity. The Jaeger program is terminated, with resources diverted to building the "Wall of Hope", a coastal fortification to protect Earth's cities. The four of the remaining Jaegers are redeployed to Hong Kong to defend the unfortified coastline until the wall can be completed. Stacker Pentecost, the commander of the Jaeger forces, devises a plan to end the war once and for all with an illegally-acquired Russian nuclear warhead.

Pentecost approaches former pilot Raleigh Becket and convinces him to return to the program. Becket and his brother Yancy had once been pilots of Gypsy Danger and tasked with defending the Alaskan coastline. During a mission, they ignored an order and engaged a kaiju directly. Yancy was torn from the cockpit while still connected to his brother, and the experience traumatized Raleigh. Upon returning to the program, Raleigh goes through a rigorous process of testing to find a new co-pilot, since the stronger the connection between two pilots, the better their performance in battle. Raleigh demands to be partnered with Mako Mori, a test pilot whose participation Pentecost opposes, as Mako is his adoptive daughter. He eventually relents and allows her to partner Raleigh. The couple's initial test run nearly ends in disaster when Mako gets caught up in a memory of an encounter with a kaiju as a child and inadvertently activates and nearly discharges Gypsy Danger's primary weapons system while still in the hanger. The two are withdrawn from the field indefinitely as the remaining Jaegers are tasked with fending off a dual kaiju attack. The defense of Hong Kong goes poorly, with the kaiju quickly destroying two Jaegers and disabling a third. Pentecost has no choice but to authorize Raleigh and Mako to mount a last stand, and the two drive off the assault.

Meanwhile, Dr. Newton Geizler—a scientist studying the kaiju—assembles a machine that allows him to establish a mental link with a fragment of a kaiju brain in the same way that Jaeger pilots connect with one another. The experience nearly kills him, but he discovers that the kaiju are actually genetically-bred weapons sent to Earth as an invading force to allow their masters to colonize the planet. With Pentecost's approval, he seeks out Hannibal Chau, a major figure in the trade of illegal kaiju parts, in an attempt to get a new kaiju brain to repeat the experiment. Chau criticises Geizler's foolishness in merging with the kaiju brain, as he has now attracted their attention, and the kaiju attacking Hong Kong are specifically seeking him out. After Gypsy Danger kills the kaiju attacking the city, Chau and his crew of poachers move in to harvest parts. Geizler realises, too late, that the kaiju is pregnant, and Chau and his crew are attacked by the newborn baby kaiju. The baby is unable to survive outside the womb and dies after eating Chau. This allows Geizler and his skeptical colleague Hermann Gottlieb to merge with the baby kaiju's brain, where they discover the secret controlling the flow of kaiju through the portal.

The Jaeger forces reassemble, planning to use the nuclear warhead to destroy the portal once and for all. Pentecost, revealed to have been one of the original Jaeger pilots, takes command of Striker Eureka as one of its usual pilots was injured during the defense of Hong Kong. Pentecost ventures out into the ocean depths, with Raleigh and Mako supporting him aboard Gypsy Danger. Geizler and Gottleib inform them that the portal has a fail-safe system to control the passage of kaiju, which will only allow them entry if they can mimic the genetic code of a kaiju. Before they can process this information, they are attacked by a pack of kaiju, including the largest kaiju in recorded history. Pentecost detonates the warhead, destroying his Jaeger and its pilots, in order to kill the remaining kaiju guarding the portal. Raleigh and Mako seize the corpse of a dead kaiju and use it to pass through the portal, intending to overload Gypsy Danger's nuclear reactor to use it as an improvised bomb. With the Jaeger critically damaged from the fight, Raleigh ejects Mako and manually overrides Gypsy Danger's safety protocols before ejecting himself. Gypsy Danger detonates on the other side of the portal, destroying it and the alien commanders, as the two pilots emerge safely back on the Earth's surface.

i would really give this movie 9/10 for its super action and vivid monster,really this movie worth's your time and money.

The Chaser (2008)
6/10
the bollywood remake murder 2.. is better ..than the chaser ..
25 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I have seen the the Hindi remake of the movie 'the chaser' that is 'murder 2' .and i must say that its Hindi remake is better than its original movie.The chaser is a psychological thriller .Plot revolves around a x-cop now a pimp investigating for his missing girls.during the course of its investigation he finds a man Je Yeong-min,guilt for his loss.The man Je Yeong-min,is a mentally unstable person.Things that i found better in murder 2 as compared to the chaser are as follows.first i was able to get the thrill in murder 2 ,i found the plot of the chaser goes too low at some point.second the actor playing the role of an mentally unstable person in murder 2 was very scary as compared to the chaser.third the ending of the movie in murder 2 was very good as the villain was killed at the end,and seriously i saw peoples clapping in the theaters when the villain died,where as in the chaser the villain was only arrested.fourth and the last you can enjoy melodious songs in murder 2. So i recommend to go for murder 2 rather than the chaser.

Sonam Kapoor was better then her last performances,Abhay Deoyl was good too.The character of Murari was also good.The movie was good and its songs were also enjoyable.

Man of Steel (2013)
8/10
man of steel-- alias-- man of mass destruction
23 June 2013
First of all the movie was great.Zack Snyder the director of the epic action movies '300' and 'watchmen' made another hard core action movie . There were action scenes from beginning till the end.the movie didn't lack on action scenes,it rather lacked some humor.Their was just fast paced action scenes which really would make you bite your nails .The sci-fic part especially when the plot started on planet krypton was really amazing.the four winged birds,the space shuttles,the war scenario all looked very real. The plot didn't have too much of twists.it was straight rather the screen play was good.The actors were fit to their role and the whole cast was perfect.Michael Shannon in the negative role of general Zod was remarkable. the movie really focuses on mass destruction,first on planet krypton and then on earth. lack of humor was the only thing that tied me to give full marks to the movie.Believe me the movie has ample amount of action scenes to enjoy and the 3D effects were magical. I suggest every one to go to the theaters rather than waiting for the DVD version.Believe me this movie wont let down any action and super hero movie fans.

The Host (2006)
8/10
a great monster movie to be viewed...
21 June 2013
I am not a keen viewer of Korean movies.one o my friend suggested me ,and i saw it.i really have just one word for this movie "AWESOME"The only thing i hate in monster movies is that they are not shown to you bang up one your eyes.but in this movie u can see the monster crawling from the 13th minute of the movie.and its clear although. PLOT-the plot starts on the year 2000,when a scientist throws a lot of toxic chemicals to the Han river for some irrelevant reasons.then after 6 years of that incident the monster grows large enough to feed on the peoples.It attacks on the peoples near the Han river and believe me the action seen was really good their.the monster takes a small kid and runs back to the river.the whole family of the girl thought that she died.now the center of the plot begins when the family of the girl plans to recover her from the monster ,after she calls from her cell phone and tells that she was captured by the monster. The plot was great,the monster looked very real and above all the action scenes were marvelous.The ending of the movie made it even better. The only thing i didn't like about the movie is the girl died at the end,but latter the girls father got an abandoned little child and got responsible about his family. The movie was really amazing and it wont let you down.

Warm Bodies (2013)
5/10
just time pass........
8 June 2013
Not a great zombie movie.A type of unusual kind of movie you could watch it just one time. plot-The plot was not well designed.keep some zombies keep some humans make some romance .This was the whole idea of the movie.The movie was not at all scary.of course you would find the boonies(zombies who have eaten their own skin)look good.It is also not good in comedy . All you get is a new subject of a zombie romancing with human.The most negative of all is every thing was going very easily and fast like a zombie entering a human territory,zombies converting into human in just one night. The cast was also OK It just only can be a time pass,nothing else.

no second thoughts....just go for it...
31 May 2013
I was very much excited for yeh jawaani hai diwaani.Of course i am a Ranbir Kapoor fan after his two back to back super hits.It is also an Ayan Mukerji movie.Now i must say the movie was awesome.The story revolves around four friends bunny(Ranbir Kapoor) Avi(Aditya Roy Kapur)Billi(Deepika Padukone) and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin).Bunny is an adventure and fun loving guy where as Billi is a good nature d girl who loves to study.The movie revolves around four friends who take a road trip in their holidays to cherish their life. Every thing works well between them.Until bunny and Billi split up and meet at a wedding of their friends. The movie even gets better for its songs.special appearance of Madhuri Dixit in the song ghagara just rocked.Their was lot of comedy and funny movements.Emotional movements also worked up brightly.The movie was an absolute treat to watch.

Your ears will love this movie....
29 May 2013
Frankly speaking,i am an emotionally challenged person...but this movie mad me cry at the end.it is really an epic musical dram movie,which has world of its own.A movie 2 and half an hour long,has no dialogues only poems.

PLOT-In 1815, convict Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) is released on parole by prison guard Javert (Russell Crowe) after serving a nineteen-year sentence for stealing a loaf of bread and numerous escape attempts. Valjean is driven out of every town, because of his paroled status. He is offered food and shelter by the Bishop of Digne (Colm Wilkinson), but steals his silver during the night. He is captured by the authorities, but the Bishop informs them that the silver was given as a gift, then gives him even more, securing Valjean's release. Moved by the Bishop's grace, Valjean breaks his parole, vowing to start an honest life helping others under a new identity. Javert swears he will bring the escaped convict to justice.

Eight years later, in 1823 Valjean has become a factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer.the goodness of bishop changed his way of life.He gets into trouble when he encounters javert in search of him,but he was not recognized by javert.After that he flees with an 8 years old child(daughter of one of his factory worker)then an lifelong game of police and thieve starts.

CAST-No personal introduction needed,each and every cast of the movie was doing awesome. At last the movie is lovely to ears,it has a flow,it has emotions but it gets a little boring in some portions.so it worth's 9/10

your day gets bad....... if you see this movie
29 May 2013
Seriously, was this the movie i was so desperately waiting for.Lot of things went wrong for this movie.John Moore is not actually an experienced director ,but that does not matter in film making.shaggy visuals and bad plot made it even worse.The movie will really shatter your expectations,as its previous installments were way more thrilling.

PLOT-in the first scene-In Moscow, Russia, Viktor Chagarin, a high-ranking but corrupt Russian official, plans on incriminating political prisoner, former billionaire Yuri Komarov without a fair trial when Komarov refuses to hand over a secret file believed to have convicting evidence against Chagarin. John McClane (Bruce Willis), who has not been in touch with his son for years,knows about his son to be in jail and travels to Russia to help him. When McClane arrives and approaches the courthouse that holds Jack and Komarov on trial, an explosion orchestrated by Chagarin and his henchmen occurs in the courthouse, and Jack breaks free with Komarov.the plot moves on with some irrelevant twists and good chasing action scenes. There are certain family ,father son moments,and it also got humor basically from Bruce Wills. CAST-Bruce Willis is of course good in his skills,Jai Courtney seems to be replacing Bruce in its squeals.

At last the plot contains irrelevant twists,dull camera work but some action scenes makes the movie watchable.But it really disappoints die hard series fans.I would give this movie 5.5/10.

watch it.......it worths your time
29 May 2013
Oz the great and the powerful....let me say the director of the epic spider man series Sam Raimi has given another movie of fantasy which would definitely take you to a new world . Its a movie which is highly dependent upon its graphics and special effects ...and it should be also to give a clear view of a world of wearied creatures and wizards.it has a good plot,and the cast seemed to do well.

PLOT-In 1905 Kansas, Oscar Zoroaster works as a small-time magician in a traveling circus. As a storm approaches, the circus strongman knows Oscar has flirted with his wife and goes to attack him. Oscar escapes in a hot air balloon, but is sucked into a tornado that takes him to the Land of Oz.their he meets with Theodora (one of the three witch sisters) tells him about the prophecy ..and he would be the next king after defeating the wicked wizard.the plot moves smoothly with a suspense of who really the wicked wizard is.oz as he is a con man,cheats on Theodora and her sister Evanora provokes her to convert into Wicked Witch of the West.Theodora and Evanora raise a battle against Glinda and oz.Oz uses his skills of illusion to win the battle.

CAST-James Franco created lots of humor in the character of Oz.the three sisters Theodora,Evanora and Glinda played by Mila Kunis,Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams were portrayed quite well.

the graphics of the movie was eye pleasing.it had some movements of comedy,but it is a one time watch that's why i gave it 6/10.

Furious 6 (2013)
7/10
ride on the 6th gear.....
29 May 2013
thumps up for Justin Lin...he captured the speeding cars tremendously...the action scenes were awesome.Plot was just OK for the movie.. Tyrese Gibson..created good humor cast performance was good...but diesel rocked. action scenes were played in a very nice and synchronized manner. Cars were out of the world .The plot was not that catchy ... the movie opens on a speeding scene between Vin diesel and Paul walker,speeding to Mia Toretto as she was on to deliver.the all were settled family man until Dwayne Johnson..seeks for their help to solve an on going military utilities robbery..the team of Vin agree's to help in the condition of his and his teams freedom ,he was also very desperate to know how his x girl friend Letty Ortiz was alive,this is the basic purpose of the movie.

the plot of ff6 is very much related to fast and furious 4 and 3.so it will be better if you know the summary of both the movies

THE TANK SCENE AND THE PLANE SCENE will rock u .. overall the movie worths your money..,nd will leave u exited for its next sequel..which stars Jason Statham..
