1. JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT
Rating: 6
Release: 17-01-2014
Genre: Action-Drama-Thriller
Plot: Jack Ryan, as a young covert CIA
analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist
attack.
IMO…: Well, everyone seemingly wants to
destroy the USA. From majority of the movies I watch anyway! However, the plot
is seems entirely engrossing! Bringing an entire country down via the economic
system, not seen a movie as such before… It’ll be definitely worth slotting a
visit to IMAX for.
2. LEGEND OF HERCULES
Rating: 6.5
Release: 10-01-2014
Genre: Action-Adventure
Plot: The origin story of the mythical
Greek hero. Betrayed by his stepfather, the King, and exiled and sold into
slavery because of a forbidden love, Hercules must use his formidable powers to
fight his way back to his rightful kingdom.
IMO…: Read the story a whole load of times. Hope
this one really brings out the story. None of the movies related has ever
really fit the billing.
3. I, FRANKENSTEIN
Rating: 8
Release: 24-01-2014
Genre: Action-Drama-Scifi
Plot: Frankenstein's creature finds himself
caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.
IMO…: well, it’ll be in IMAX 3D. isn’t that
just worth looking out for?! I bet you’ve read/heard of the story. Nothing more
to add on really. Only that it’s a modern version of the story. But don’t get
me wrong, it’s still set back then. This one is a “3D must watch”!
4. ROBOCOP
Rating: 7
Release: 12-02-2014
Genre: Action-Crime-Scifi
Plot: In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy
(Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured
in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance
for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
IMO…: Given that I’ve watched Almost Human,
the series, this one had better have a great storyline to have me pay mulla at
IMAX
5. 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE
Rating: 7.5
Release: 7-3-2014
Genre: Action-Drama-War
Plot: The Greek general Themistocles
battles an invading army of Persians
under the mortal-turned-god, Xerxes.
IMO…: War, blood and death… the first one was
amazing, let’s hope this one is equally/more engrossing!
6. DIVERGENT
Rating: 7.5
Release: 21-03-2014
Genre: Action-Adventure-Romance
Plot: Beatrice Prior, a teenager with a
special mind, finds her life threatened when an authoritarian leader seeks to
exterminate her kind in her effort to seize control of their divided society.
IMO…: Never read the novel. But this is one
heck of a creative story line. Set in a futuristic dystopia where society is
divided into five factions that each represent a different virtue, teenagers
have to decide if they want to stay in their faction or switch to another - for
the rest of their lives. It bears a certain resemblance to “In Time” though. But
is it worth a trip to the big screen?
7. NOAH
Rating: 7
Release: 28-03-2014
Genre: Adventure-Drama-Fantasy
Plot: The Biblical Noah suffers visions of
an apocalyptic deluge and takes measures to protect his family from the coming
flood.
IMO…: yeah, can’t remember seeing a movie
about Noah. Evans Almighty came closest I guess. But it’s definitely worth a
trip to the big screen!
KEEP IT COOL THIS NEW YEAR
