Hi Guys, thanks for staying with Metal Film Review. Recently there's a new author appearing in this blog. Thanks to him we now have animation reviewer ;) Check out his blog, at WilsonAnimationProduction.
and for those who are interested of being one of us, please go to the forum/shoutbox and leave a message. i'll get back to you!
I'm pretty sure many people who watched will be writing a review as well..and many of those who haven't watch will be crazy booking tickets and even queue for whole day to get it. well, it happens at my place =)
It is a really great movie..this review is not gonna be very long. since its a "must watch" movie, and those who watched transformer 1 would probably watch the 2nd movie..i don't have to write a long one.
To be honest i feel the movie is abit too long and draggy, and the ending is too fast~If you notice the camera work, it was awesome..so as the actors. Michael Bay is a great director. i guess younger directors are more daring in doing action movies? Explosion are real..that's gonna kill the actors hey!!!of course not..just a joke!!
Megan Fox...getting hotter and hotter... well, i feel the director too emphasize on her hotness..those are scene that i think can be cut off..lol..please don't kill me guys!!
And of course...the Animation..it's perfectly done!!!not even a mistake that would make us say "wow looks fake"..i'm impress with that..and it makes me even stress for now im taking animation and gonna fail it..haha..there are too many great animators out there..and transformer's animation is great!!
the conclusion is the movie is great =.=...WORTH WATCHING...and please watch it..!!
alright i gonna stop here..i know it's short but i don't have much time now...feel free to drop a comment or review for the movie..it would be great to see what u guys think of the movie =)
ANYWAY!!that's my personal view..hope i didn't offend anyone..

Release date: March 13, 2009.
Based on : Novel - 1968 - Alexander Key
=================================================================== Race to witch mountain is a re-imaging of escape to witch mountain (1975). both film are based on a novel escape to witch mountain by alexander key on 1968.
when i first saw this movie on the cinema list, i thought it's a fantasy-like film. i don't even know what the movie's about when i first enter the cinema. after a while i knew that it's about UFO, alien, and space that kind of thing.
unfortunately i missed out the beginning part of the movie. it's about news of UFO sightings around the world appear. and i guess there's some crashing kind of stuff?cause i watched in the trailer (will post here dont worry).
Tia: My brother and I, we're not from your planet.Jack Bruno: Well, you don't look like aliens.Tia: What's an alien look like?Jack Bruno: You know what aliens look like! They're like little green people with antennas, and "Take me to your leader, Earthlings!"Jack Bruno: That's neat. Real neat.Jack Bruno: Don't go in the pimped out fridge Jack...Imperial Stormtrooper: Hey, Jack, the UFO convention's in town.Jack Bruno: I hadn't noticed.Jack Bruno: You do know how to fly this thing, right?Tony: How do you think we got here?Jack Bruno: Well, you crashed. Remember?Dr. Alex Friedman: [crawling through a tunnel] I get claustrophobic in tight palces.Jack Bruno: [as they come to a long shaft] How are you with heights?
Seriously there's not much i can talk about the movie. cause it really didn't make me go "wowww". i feel it's more like a kiddy show instead.
I'll start with the characters. Dwayne Johnson as John Bruno?hmm..i couldn't think of anyone else who can act better then him. He's strong, big, and he;s hilarious. if i'm not mistake this is his second disney film. i think he'll be getting more and more chance to further his career with disney =D
AnnaSophia Robb as Sara. She's the "kind" one in this movie. she trusted John Bruno (the human) . and is kind to everyone. compare to her brother seth, she's much easier to communicate. Her acting was okay too. so as her "brother" seth, play by Alexander Ludwig, the cute guy =D seems like they've had several acting lesson with some teacher.
Carla Gugino is a good choice for playing as Dr. Alex Friedman. she does have the scientist look. oh ya forgot to mention. a failed scientist.
Alright next is the camera works. i realize that they like to use high angle, and close up shot. i'm okay with both of the shots. there's two scene. im not sure if its at the same location. but it's a high angle car moving along the road. both of the shots look exactly like the same shots. although its two different vehicle. i wouldn't prefer both shots to be high angle. it's enough for one high angle shot. if both the shots are in high angle, it seems no different. nothing fresh, nothing interesting.(do not refer to the picture on the right. that's not a high angle)
Also i notice that there barely have any low angle shots. erm..not even one..correct me if i'm wrong. i was talking bout the two high angle shots. and i would prefer a low angle on the second shot. it will look better.
Next is the visual. i'm impress with it. every scene are well arranged. i didn't check out who's the art director but i love the visual of the movie. The animation..right..i HAVE to talk bout the animation. near the end of the movie when the cops shoot them, because of seth's special Solid ability, they're all save. the bullets didn;t hurt them. The animation looks fake. Just the bullet part. the other animation use in this movie are fine.
i didn't talk much about the storyline. cause i think it's best for you to watch it yourself. plus i missed out the beginning part. 5 minutes?or maybe 10 minutes..so i won't talk about the story here. i'll just post the trailer here. MetalFilmReview this is my personal view. every single person have different opinion. so don't get mad if i offended you. Feel free to leave a comment.

==================================================================== -MetalFilmReview- thank you for
i was struggling either to watch watchman or street fighter few hours ago. and finally chosen street fighter to watch today in the theatre with my sister.
An odd feeling about this movie. it wasn't bad. it's quite good. somehow i think that the whole movie lack of something. things that i can't really describe. okay..i'll do a very simple review here. i didn't know that the movie is about chun li. i thought all the character will appear.
I was thinking that this movie will confuse many people maybe? cause it's in so many language. i only catch four language there, which is english, cantonese, mandarin, thai, and i think there's one more language they used in the movie and i don't recognise it. Since i know how to speak english, mandarin, and cantonese..understanding the whole story won't seem to be a problem to me. but was wondering if someone don't get the meaning of the story.
CHUN LI...i've played the game before back in 1990s. and i always thought that Chun Li is a chinese. i didn't know that she's a mix blood. Cool~~lets go through the character and actors then. Kristin Kreuk was a really good choice for the Chun Li character. i think that she actually look abit like chinese. light tan, skinny body feature..etc...her acting was great in this movie. Oh ya..about her mandarin, i think she speak it quite well, her cantonese..(i think she needs to improve on that). since the movie was shown that Chun Li growed up at Hong Kong, she should know more cantonese.
From some angle GEN really look like the "gen" in street fighter. but one thing, i've seen that when chun li first met GEN, his hair weren't that white..is it their mistake?or my eye's problem?
Another actress that i'm not impress with is MAYA. her acting was awkward. its like she's thinking "what am i gonna do next" when she's playing MAYA. (sorry i didn't check out her name)
i discover another mistake, just a minor one. Chun Li speaks mandarin to his dad when they were young. Years after he met his daughter again, he speaks english to his daughter. would you go speak english to your father suddenly?
i won't be talking bout the camera work today cause i see nothing interesting to talk about.
The fighting are good..very interesting indeed. especially the speed of chun li. im sure everyone loves it.they sure done a great research on it. every fighting skill u see in game you see it here too. yet i find the inner energy (CHI) kinda fake. theres a scene where GEN heal Chun Li's wound with his CHI-inner power. it recover so fast. how possible..but since the origin is from a game it's not weird to see things like that.
That's all about Street Fighter-Legend of Chun Li. I'm sorry if my critique offend you.but that's just from my point of view. everyone have their own opinion on certain movie. Overall i find the movie interesting and had a great day, time to spend. worth watching.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Dreams May come is one of the most beautiful film i've seen. From the shots, the story, the scene, and to the people. everything is so beautiful. some people might find it boring. but if you really get what's the story about you will find it interesting. Annie and Chris(Robin William) live a happy life together. Annie is a cheerful girl who likes to paint. she's an artist. Until she loses both her child who involve in an car crash. she was suppose to drive them to school. Due to her busy schedule she couldn't fit in. So she sent the nanny to send both her childs to school. And all just end like that. she's been thinking that it was her fault that cause all this to happen. and she finally have a mental breakdown. and has been sent to the mental hospital. She wouldn't talk. to anyone. even her husband. Her loving husband support her to the end. make her stand up again. live a happy life again. She's been real unlucky. just when she can start a new life again, her husband Chris died in an car accident.the whole scene made Annie really miserable. Even us, audience, feel extremely sad for her. she's all alone. the world is just so dark for her.
while her husband, went to another world. another world that is so familiar to him. and that's when he know he's living in his' wife's painting. one of their favourite painting. People might think it doesn't make sense at all. but why not?you live in where you want to live. it might be illusion, but the most important thing is that you're happy with it. that's my thoughts.
^^^those are just part of the story. the rest are best to be seen yourself. i'm sure some of you watch this before. cause it's not a very new movie afterall. We know in reality, we don't go into painting after we're dead. of course, i wish i can. it;s so beautiful that you can't resist.
Chris's quest is not easy. he found his dog, then he needs to find his daughter, his son, and his commit suicide wife. speak of his commited suicide wife. we see a contrast. from a beautiful scene, slowly they move into a dark and spooky scene. what we can see is fire all around the place, and then to a place which is completely dark. to be honest, i don't like the ending so much. chris lost control of himself when he found annie before the ending. and the ending is like "pop" annie and chris is in the beautiful place again. it's like a rush to end the movie. it's like they don't know how to end the movie. of course they have their own reason. this is only my point of view. maybe when you watch it you'd think the ending is perfect. :)
