The Rig (2010)

camera zoomed too close, feel daze

[1/10 · 25 October 2010]

I really don't know what is going on with the movie industry, for the last couple years, I have seen a lot of movies that the camera zoom so close and you can only see those actors' face and 10 seconds into the movie and you already feel headache and daze. Same for this one again. Most of the shots are close up and I can't see nothing but actor's face. Are the director nuts? Did he/she actually show it to somebody and ask what they think? I am not a senior, I am 30 years old and sometime play FPS game, but those movies are just too daze. 1 minutes into watching it, I turned it off and call it a quit.

Like in another film from Thailand, in one of the fighting scene, FIGHTING SCENE with sword, I can only see that female actor's head and can't even see what she was doing.

Those guys are nuts. Just like 3D, your know, almost all movies are 3D now, including those with story without much of actions. Hope they remake "Gone with the wind" and "Titanic" with 3D and throw billion of dollars into it and got nothing back and has to file for bankruptcy.

World's End (2010)

a good low budget film

[9/10 · 1 September 2010]

I am assuming this is a low budget film, and it is pretty good compare to other low budget film. Good acting from all of the actors. Especially the end really surprise me, and I never expect that, and I really appreciate the guy who wrote it, at least it is real.

I used to watch a lot of TV from sci-fi TV channel while working, and most of them are crap amount other crap even with much higher budget. Most of the plots in this film make sense and doesn't seem to be stupid compare to other low budget film. I can even compare its storyline with resident evil film series and Fallout video game. Of course, just my opinion. I give this 9 out of 10. It doesn't have big action, but the atmosphere and the story really worth to watch if you like after end of world scene. And it is 10 times better than those "sex-and-the-city" and other crap.

Hope they make more of this kind of film, with small budget. The other with lots of explosion and gun fights with very boring and predictable films are just boring.
