Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (2015) (3/4)

As the title explains,the movie talks about tomorrow, the future. The future world with immensely advanced technologies.. Which is like a dream for everyone. And it talks about the  disasters that advancement could bring… its how we drive ourselves to the destruction of human race.

***spoilers***

The movie starts by Frank Walker (George Clooney) narrating the story of his life to the audience, which goes like this - An ambitious kid who is optimistic dreamer and who does believe in himself strongly and in his strengths of making anything possible...a small intelligent boy who goes to New York to represent his talents to the World Fair, and falls in love with a mysterious girl ‘Athena’ (Raffey Cassidy) who helps him realize his dreams, and he follows. And we don't know from where another story bumps in and gets linked. It’s a bit ambiguous initially but later we understand it all. Maybe the director Brad Bird does it to keep the audience bound and interested. Back again to the plot - There is this girl, Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) who dreams of visiting the stars and is quite brilliant herself. She gets the last button from the mysterious girl, which connects her to the future, maybe I should call it Tommorowland. Later she realizes that it was all planned to happen and she was chosen by someone for a big purpose. She chases them and finally reaches to that amazing world she could only dream of, only to find out the troubles it was causing. But being a person who never gives up, a true optimist, a true dreamer, she fights it against all the odds and finally, as it happens in our beautiful Disney movies, all falls into right place and they, Cathy, Athena and Frank become the saviors of the world.

***spoilers end***

Disney's Tomorrowland comes to theaters May 22, 2015! From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird's "Tomorrowland," a riveting mystery adventure starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as "Tomorrowland."

I leave it to you to watch the movie and know what happened exactly, what issue they fought off and how. It’s an interesting plot with a nice message of never giving up and dreaming big and doing everything possible to make your dreams come true. Also, the imagination and special effects were pretty, nice with ability to bring you some giggles in the midst of some serious issue. I must mention that the performance of all actors are quite good but Raffey’s performance was especially brilliant. With all these, Tommorowland registers itself in the list of another cool colorful dreamland Disney movie with a sci-fi touch. I would recommend you all to watch it!

Flash + Arrow season finale: Rogue Air (4/4) & My name is Oliver Queen (3/4)

This week’s Flash was amazing, almost as good as The Trap (4/4), which was definitely one of the best episodes of the show. It’s quite a genius of the show how they concealed and defined the identity Reverse Flash, was quite something. And the way Wells’ identity as Reverse Flash was revealed in The Trap, it was ingenious again. He’s always a step ahead of Barry Allen, The Flash. Even the trap, turns out to be a trap for Barry. And Wells’ interaction with Cisco is quite a moment. Cisco’s role in the how is becoming cooler. This episode of Rogue Air, finally had The Flash win. And the win involved not just Firestorm, but also the Arrow. The fight between Reverse Flash and the heroes was quite something. Although the win came after The Flash lots to the Rogues aka Captain Cold & Golden Glider, who not only fools Barry but also make shim lose all the metahumans they were holding. But anyways, Barry caught the Reverse Flash, all’s well that ends well. Iris’s moping is still annoying though. But I look forward to what Barry does to Wells. Looking forward to the Finale, it should be interesting.

Arrow season Finale was not as awesome as I expected, but it was still pretty good. Arrow has become kinda boring recently, with lengthy storylines being stretched too long. Finale had Oliver Queen, the Arrow, finally winning over Ra’s al Ghul by conveniently killing him. Although he was almost about to die, he surprisingly killed him at the end by holding his sword in his hand and unarming him (how??). Laurel and Felicity’s moping has become annoying, and Diggle has joined them too in his disappointment towards Oliver (give it up already man!). But they are all good, when in action. It was interesting to see Thea as Red Arrow aka Speedy (and not moping, like others, although she did get back to it). And it sucks how they still don’t give any credit to Malcom Merlyn, he’s cool. And he’s Ra’s now, even cooler! There was lot of interesting things about the episode. Like Oliver asking Diggle to put a mask. Will he be the new Arrow? Oliver has left the town with Felicity, is he coming back? And one of the most shocking and unexpected event was Ray Palmer and the blast while he’s working on his Atom suit with nanobots. Is it how he becomes the real Atom, who can miniaturize (of course!)? As you might know, he’s moving on to the spinoff show Legends of Tomorrow. But this is the end of Season 3 with lot of stories resolved & closed but many questions still open & unanswered. Although I won’t miss the show, but I’m looking forward to it. It’s already intriguing and going to be quite interesting where the show heads in Season 4.

@GameofThrones: Kill the Boy (4/4)

After the 4 leaked episodes, there must have been quite some anticipation to see 5th episode after almost a month. I’m not talking about me, but people who watched all 4 episodes in one day, 4 weeks ago. Why & how will I do anything like that? Anyways…

This episode of Game of Thrones, was finally back in game. There were fire breathing dragons (and we learnt that dragons like their meals cooked - thanks to their fire breathing capabilities, its quick & easy!); greyscale afflicted stone men, fighting with Tyrion and Jorah, and getting Jorah afflicted too (yep, it happened, Jorah is dead soon); Ramsay still being a creep and douche to Sansa and others too (he’s kinda turning into Joffrey, hopefully we don’t have to bear him through 4 seasons); and Jon finally killing the boy aka his mopey self, and finally being a MAN!

All the performances are good as usual. Jon snows interaction with Maester Aemon, or others at Night s Watch, is interesting. He’s becoming a true leader, but a leader even his own friends do not like. Daenerys is taking more bold decisions now, and from almost killing the tribe leaders to marrying one, she’s going “crazy” again. Also this episode was truly a visual treat. The dragons’ scene was beautiful, and fierce. But the best were the views of the ruins of Valeria. Quite surreal, with Drogon flying over, and Tyrion seeing a dragon for first time with his eyes and mouth wide open in surprise (isn’t Peter Dinklage just awesome!), makes the scene even more spectacular.

We’re still waiting to see what happens to Arya Stark, who wasn’t in this episode at all, after spending few episodes in Braavos. There were also no sightings of Kings Landing, which keeps us wondering what’ll happen to Ser Loras and Margaery Tyrell. Sand Snakes are still looking to destroy Jaime and the Lannisters. Lets’ see what happens there… So, there’s a lot brewing and let’s see what the rest of the 5 episodes of Game of Thrones bring for us. Until then… Valar Dohaeris!
