June Movie Reviews Part 1:Edge of Tomorrow and How To Train Your Dragon 2
I love June!Because...it's my birthday month.And a lot of awesome people too--Amelia Liana,Tanya Burr,Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen,Chris Evans,Kate Dennings,Kate Upton,Prince William,Mindy Kaling,Ariana Grande,Ricky Gervais(same as mine!) and many moreeee.June babies are awesome.:PAnyway,as usual I watch a lotttt of movies every month.Here are two from the five movies that I've recently watched.
1.Edge of Tomorrow
I watched this movie two weeks ago with my boyfriend and his siblings.I've watched the trailer before and I thought it would be a great movie.One night,the boyfriend suddenly bought the movie tickets online and said we should go watch it,now.haha.
So how was it?I didn't particularly like it,to be honest.I think the trailer hyped it up.But it doesn't mean that the movie wasn't enjoyable.It was!But the concept was a little bit dizzying.You can't blame the movie because it is based on a book and according to the boyfriend it stayed true to it although the book was much more in depth(like any other book)
The saying in the poster-- Live,Die and Repeat is basically what the movie is all about.You live,you die and repeat all over again.
The movie is about Major William Cage who's thrown into the army and his rank was stripped down so that he would have to actually fight in the war of..humans against..aliens who are called Mimics.They were a bit weird looking but then again..they're aliens.They look like..our own nerves system.
While fighting Mimics,he got killed when he released a bomb and when he wakes up..he's back to where he started at Heathrow Airport.So yeah,SPOILER!
The whole movie was about how Cage dies and then repeat his day all over again until he can finally kills the thing that controls all Mimics--which is called the Omega.Creative huh?haha In the process,he received help from Rita because she was also able to live,die and repeat previously.
Anyway..what annoyed me was how he had to die and repeat his days over and over again.I'm pretty sure he had to repeat his day like..thousands of times!There was some hilarious scene involving how he died though!It was like Groundhog Day but this one involved avoiding death which is really really hard since dying is actually..imminent.
But like what the boyfriend said,you have to applaud Cage's patience and tenacity..imagine living your worse nightmare over and over again?Also having to listen people talk the same thing over and over again?I honestly felt like poking my eye with a fork.
There's a twist of course!There's always is.The ending is somewhat happy.I'd give this movie...3 out of 5 just because the action scenes were quite good.But I just didn't like the whole plot.
2.How To Train Your Dragon 2
This movie takes place 5 years after the first movie.The town of Berk has made peace with dragons and basically everyone has their own dragon now.When Hiccup and Astrid went to check out a wildfire,they discovered a dragon trapper named Eret who claimed that their dragon ruined his fort.
And that he was going to capture their dragons for Drago Bludvist.When Hiccup went back to Berk,he told his dad about this which prompted Stocik to close Berk's gate and ask the villagers to prepare for battle.
Hiccup fled Berk because he wanted to reason with Drago to not capture the dragons.On his way there with Toothless(which is superrrrr cute!),he met someone whom he never thought he would.
I've spoiled the first movie already so I won't do much damage to this one because it's such an enjoyable movie.I swear that there were two scenes in the movie that made my eyes watery..and someone cried during a scene in the movie.haha
There's an unexpected twist in the movie that's very sad.The animation in the movie is very beautiful..especially involving all of the dragons.I've to say that at the end of the movie,I felt like..I can't wait for the third movie.
I'd give this movie 4.5 out of 5!
