Pacific Rim (2013)
8/10
Flawed, detailed and awesome
2 August 2014
This is a really good, original and cool action movie. The fights between the giant monsters and robots are awesome and the clear highlights of this movie. There is not really anything more I can really say about that. The other parts between the awesome fight scenes are not on the same level but are not bad. The plot is simple, gigantic monsters comes from an other dimension and ruins everything for us nice human beings and all of humanity comes together to stop the giant monsters from horribly murder us all by making giant robots. The story is a bit of a mess because there isn't much that makes sense and they do not really take time to explain anything and it reaches a level of so much doesn't make sense that it bothers me. Things like two people are needed to control the robots are good plot points but doesn't make any sense at all.

One thing I loved about the movie is that it is international. The characters are from all over the world and small things like the giant robots are called Jägers and the monsters Kajju makes me smile a bit. Loads of smaller details like that and more makes the movie unique. Details in the movie like how the world adapts to the threat of giant monsters, the Aussies dog mascot and the black market for giant monster body parts just says to me that they put a lot of thought into it when they made the movie.

The Characters are good. Not incredible, not great, but above what you usually see in action movies. All main characters are in some way flawed and has problems they have to overcome. The only characters that bothered me was the scientists who were really annoying and could have been done better.

Even if the movie has several flaws, it is an original and a great action movie. It doesn't have any depth like the dark knight but was really entertaining and I do not regret watching it.

10/10
My type of comedy
29 May 2014
Everyone has different opinions of everything but it is clearer differences in comedy. I love Russell Howard's good news and I really enjoy the humor around current events and the crazy news stories they find. This does not mean in any way you will actually like it. This show is more fitting with younger audiences that can handle a little bit of offensive sex jokes, jokes about the royal family of England and other famous people. A certain grade of tolerance is needed.

If you are a teen or in your twenties you might like it. This is not really recommended for older audiences or people who are too mature to enjoy life. This show may make you laugh until you cry or make you send a complaint to BBC and everything in between. See it and decide for yourself. Personally I can't stop watching it.

Cloud Atlas (2012)
9/10
Ambitious and great
9 May 2014
Just the concept of six story's set in six time periods and Tom Hanks playing a total of six roles and all connected in several ways is amazing. The fact that they pulled it off is amazing. All six stories are interesting, some more than others, and you keep looking for the small or big connections through out the movie. They never make clear connections between the stories but this leads much to your own imagination.

This movie does much right. The casting is great and using the same actor for several characters in the different time periods are done so well that you don't care when you notice it. The plot is great and I noticed no plot holes. The movie is beautiful too and I found Seoul in year 2114 absolutely fantastic. mood, twists and jokes were made really well throughout the whole film.

So what does this movie not deserve a 10/10 from me? The characters weren't as good as I wanted them to be. There were so many characters that I can't recall their names and most of them lack depth. This is the only thing that bothered me in the movie. Overall Cloud atlas is a great movie that you should see. The complex story might put off some people but personally I loved it.
