2014: MOVIE PREVIEW

Happy New Year everyone! Here's a list of movies you should definately be looking out for:

 
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
