Jurassic World Review: Fallen Kingdom: Gahar, Fun and Satisfying Veteran Fans

 When the film Jurassic World was announced in 2014, excitement and misgivings immediately erupted among “veteran” fans . Reasonable. Growing up and watching Michael Crichton's adaptation of the franchise  , of course they didn't want the fourth Jurassic film to disappoint them. Fortunately, when it was finally released on June 12, 2015, those worries turned into cracks of a smile.

Indeed, the overall film directed by Colin Trevorrow, is not as perfect as Jurassic Park (1993). But Jurassic World still displays the excitement and tension as when we watched the previous films. Seeing the success of the film, it is automatic once a sequel is produced.

Titled Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom , the film, now directed by JA Bayona ( The Impossible, A Monster Calls ), is set 3 years after the destruction of the entire Jurassic World theme park . After this event, all the remaining dinosaurs are now in danger of being destroyed by a volcanic eruption around the island of Isla Nublar. Now, it's up to Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) to save the dinosaurs from extinction. Will they succeed?

Overall, every action scene and every scene where Owen cs tries to avoid being chased by dinosaurs (whatever the type of dino is), is really exciting and tense. In fact, you could say, these scenes are much more tense than the first film. So tense, we feel like we are being targeted and chased too.

Of course, this aspect becomes "beautiful music" for both Jyrassic World fans and Jurassic Park fans . Because yes, this aspect is the signature for this franchise . And JA Bayona does a very, very good job.

However, Bayona is not the only one who has contributed. Composer Michael Giacchino, who returned to handle the scoring of this sequel, also had a big (in fact, very big) role in adding to the sense of tension that was felt. The combination of the two looks much more suitable than the Giacchino-Trevorrow combination.

While the action and suspense aspects shine through, unfortunately the same cannot be said for the plot and character development aspects. Even though it still makes sense and is easy to follow, for some reason, we feel normal with the plot that is presented. I don't know, maybe this is because we have often watched movies or played games with similar plots.

But calm down geeks . The problems in the plot department are nothing compared to the problems in the character development department shown in this film. Gokil Geeks . If given a scale of 1-10, you could say the character development in this film is only 2 or 3 out of 10. This is of course very unfortunate.

Especially in this sequel, there is a little girl character named Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon) who has a very imaginative portion and plot background . Indeed, in the third round, his background was revealed. And yes, the disclosure is quite surprising. But because it focuses too much on the main plot, as a result the disclosure feels useless. Supposedly, if you want, this disclosure is expressed only in the third film later than the end i mpact obtained senendang audience is not as expected.

Since Jurassic Park , it is undeniable that Tyrannosaurus Rex aka T-Rex, is the most dangerous and feared dinosaur figure. As a result, it's no wonder this carnivorous dinosaur has become an icon of this franchise . It's not wrong. We, veteran fans , are also waiting for the arrival of this distinctive roaring dino.

But since Jurassic Park 3 (2001), you could say the presence of this dino is nothing more than a gimmick . And this impression is increasingly visible in this Fallen Kingdom . His presence in one or two scenes is "useful" and makes sense. But, as the scene progressed. It really seems that the reason this Gahar Dino is included is for commercial reasons only.

Even though as we know, the figure of "King Dino" in this sequel, is Indo Raptor. So yes, it should be, if you want him to be presented at the end, like in the first film, when T-Rex was only shown to kill Indominus Rex. Oh yes, by the way Indo Raptor. WOW Geeks ! all you can say, Indo Raptor >>>> Indominus Rex. Owen and Claire alone must use their wits to defeat this vicious dino.

In addition to the exciting action scenes, the amazing performances of all the actors are also a factor that successfully covers some of the shortcomings that have been mentioned previously. But of all the actors, no doubt , Chris Pratt, again the most shining. I don't know why, geeks . Pratt does look very natural when he plays Owen. Casual, cool, slengean but still cool at the same time.

His chemistry with his favorite dinosaurs, Blue and Howard, is only getting worse, especially with Blue, which is undeniable that the relationship between the two is very vital to the overall plot of this sequel. Seeing his gokil appearance, it is a pity that it was Alden Ehrenreich who was actually appointed as the young Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story instead of this 38 year old actor. Let's just pray, hopefully in the future he can become a substitute for other iconic Harrison Ford characters, you know who ( cue : fedora hat and whip).

Actually, when we watched The Fallen Kingdom , we felt that this sequel (although it was fun again), didn't need to be produced. Because it is a story and interest, this film does not really need to be made. But because it was scheduled as a trilogy PLUS seeing the aftermath of the ending of this film, we immediately changed our minds alias agreed that Jurassic World , indeed should be made as a trilogy.

As long as it's on a note, after the third film, which is scheduled to be released on June 11, 2021, this story must really be finished. Because if you don't, it will be very expensive. So geeks , for those of you who haven't watched, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is pretty much recommended. Especially if you're a veteran fan , you really must be a geeks .

Oh yeah, don't rush home, geeks . Because this film displays a post-credits scene that is quite interesting and can be used as a little clue as to how the state of the Jurassic universe will be in the upcoming third film.

Review of The Incredibles 2: Parr Family Still Super & Fantastic

 It can be said that the term “Long Gap” does not apply to the Pixar dictionary. As has been proven by Toy Story 3 (2010) , Monsters University (2013) and of course, Finding Dory (2016), the sequels which were released after 5 years of the original film, proved to be still able to maintain very good quality which as a result, make the audience not feel tired of the long pause. And the sequel to The Incredibles (2004), The Incredibles 2 , has yet again succeeded in proving that claim.

Yep, that's right, geeks . The sequel, which is directed by Brad Bird again and takes place right after the ending of the first film (yes, the film opens with a battle between the Parr VS The Underminer family), really makes our 14 years of waiting really pay off very sweetly.

Still Cool, Fun, Funny and Not Childish

And one of the main factors that makes this sequel still ridiculous, is that all the action scenes, dramas, well , basically everything still looks as exciting, cool and colorful as when watching the first film. Yep, once again, even the dramatic scenes don't make us bored and want to go back to watching the action scenes. In fact, if you want to compare it, it is the dramatic scene that becomes the "screen stealer ".

Neither the ideological conflict between Mr. Incredibles (Craig T. Nelson) with his wife, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) related to the " Super Relocation" program which makes them again have to "retire" while being superheroes, a slight gap between Incredibles and Elastigirl regarding the wife who is preferred to promote the elimination of the program that, until the whole family finally sees Jack-Jack's (Eli Fucile) superpowers for the first time, all of which are presented very clearly, to the point , entertaining, and not childish.

Yep. Not childish. You could say this factor has always been a plus for The Incredibles series and all Pixar films. Indeed, this film is targeted mostly at children and pre-teens automatically, the language of the script must be really easy to understand. However, that does not mean that the accompanying adult audience also feels childish.

In fact, when we watched the film, it was the small audience who immediately "checked out" when they saw the dramatic scenes. Because the problem shown in this film contains various kinds of metaphors as well as contemporary social moral messages that are really only understood by those who are adults.

All Characters That Are Still Funny & Gokil

Another factor here, too, is the characters who are still funny, gokil and steal the attention. Anyway, for those of us who have watched the first film, we feel like we are reunited with close friends/family we haven't seen in a long time.

And one more aspect regarding the characters that this sequel still maintains, is that none of the characters seem to really dominate. Indeed, Elastigirl in this sequel is the main highlight. But Mr. The Incredibles, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and even once again, Jack-Jack, also get an equally fair share.

Oh yes, speaking of Jack-Jack, you could say this super baby is the second character who shines after Elastigirl in this film. He really looks cute, innocent, adorable but still badass at the same time. Anyway, after seeing his figure, of course, those of us who already have babies, immediately want to pinch our children excitedly.

The Screen Slaver Motif is Weak and Very Generic

Unfortunately like its first film, The Incredibles 2 , it wasn't a completely perfect film. And again, the weakness lies in the villain department . If Syndrome (Jason Lee) was weak in the past, it was in the way he lost, then the weakness in Screen Slaver (Bill Wise) is in his motives and identity disclosure.

For the motive, it can be said that it is very generic and does not make us feel empathy and understanding towards him. This, of course, is very different from the previous Syndrome, whose motives are very relatable to all of us.

As for revealing who is behind this Screen Slaver mask, basically what we can say is, when you meet two of the many new characters in this film nearing Act 2, you can already guess that they are one of them and their reveal, only with a "reversal of logic" " just.

Beware of Potential Epilepsy When Watching the Movie!

Yep, that's right, geeks . As the name suggests, Screen Slaver, it's certain, this villain makes a lot of use of the monitor screen display which is really dazzling. Even in the scene where Elastigirl was fighting with herself, the screen display was truly dazzling. After watching it, we just got a little dizzy (yes, maybe it's because we sat in row D).

Therefore, we suggest for those of you who may have a little epilepsy or are easy to "vomit" with a glare, slightly lower your head or better to just skip watching the scene. Even some cinema chains in the US have issued warning circulars regarding this matter. So yeah, watch yourself geeks!

But apart from this and a few other shortcomings, overall , The Incredibles 2 , is a must watch for those of you who are animation fans and of course fans of the first film. Even if you haven't seen the first film, we think you'll still like it even though, you have to watch the first film before watching the sequel.

Seeing the success of this sequel, then yep, it seems we will be very ready and more than hype to watch Toy Story 4 which will be released on June 21, 2019. Although not necessarily, but it can be guaranteed that the fourth adventure of Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) will be very successful. Because yes, as stated earlier, long time gaps are not a problem at all for Hollywood's biggest animation studio.

The Cured Review: Fresh and full of satire

 With The Walking Dead, iZombie and Resident Evil still popular , it's no wonder that many of us were quite skeptical when we heard about the release of The Cured film. Specifically, we immediately mumbled "Ah, at least it's going to be like most Zombie films with stories". But when I finally saw the film directed by David Freyne ( The Man in 301 ), this feeling of skepticism turned into a very wide smile.

The Cured tells the story of the spread of a virus called the Maze Virus . Well, this virus causes sufferers to become zombies. Almost the entire population in Europe is infected with this virus. Luckily a cure was found. As a result, after being treated from a ratio of 100%, 75% of the population recovered and returned to their former human form.

While 25% are immune (not effective) with the drug given. And they are quarantined. Now, the 75% who have recovered now have to face the next tough challenge: Convincing the surrounding community that they have fully recovered, aka, will not become zombies again. And one of those struggling is a young man named Senan Browne (Sam Keeley).

But in the midst of him having to adapt again to the surrounding community and his sister-in-law, Abbie (Ellen Page) and his son Cillian, Senan also has to face his best friend who has also recovered but is brutal, Conor (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) who has big dangerous plans that could mess up the whole world again.

What plan is that? And did Senan manage to re-mingle with social life as before?

Super Fresh Plot And Full of Social Satire

How about after reading the plot geeks ? Feels different and really fresh right? And the concept of the story is what makes The Cured a really fun film to watch from beginning to end. Apart from that, most importantly, the plot of this film feels like satirizing social issues (SARA) which until now still often occurs in various parts of the world.

If examined carefully, the representations of zombies that have recovered but are still doubted / ostracized by the surrounding community are shown, just as they had previously suffered from a serious illness and had recovered, but were still ostracized / humiliated.

Or further, this also feels like the struggle of Latino immigrants in the US who as we know are still struggling (even rebellious) to be treated the same as other US citizens. This real-life injection is what once again makes The Cured very different from most zombie films or series.

Keeley, Hollywood's Next Big Irish Star

Of course, the freshness and uniqueness of this story is fully supported by the total super performance of the entire cast , especially Keeley and Lawlor. Both of them have succeeded in reviving the conflict of principles that are contrary to a very great degree. As a result, those of us who witness will also support both of them even though we know that one is good and one is evil.

But if you compare the two again, then Keeley is the one who shines. He succeeded in reviving Senan's sense of isolation. Those of us who may have been bullied will immediately be able to feel what they have experienced. His acting prowess inevitably makes him the next big Irish actor.

As for Pages? Well , what are the complaints here? Since making his acting debut in the FTV Pit Pony (1997), it can be said "Page can't do no wrong" . And the same can be said again for her brilliant performance as Abbie in this film.

Lost Direction in the Second Half

It's a shame that all the cool aspects already mentioned, are a bit tainted by a few wrong decisions that could have been avoided. The first concerns the final fate that Conor accepts.

Without the intention of spoilers , when we saw it, we immediately mumbled "Oh, so what happened to him?" If this is indeed done so that it will be revealed in the sequel, okay. So this decision is right. But if there are no plans for a sequel, this decision is very strange and wrong.

Apart from that, another major problem here is that towards the second half, the film lost its direction ( lost focus/direction ). At the beginning, it was explained that the focus of this film is on the struggle of Senan and those who have recovered, aka "The Cured" to be accepted again in society.

But entering round 2 and so on, this film shifts its focus to being like most zombie survival films . Although it still maintains the main premise, the deflection of the plot's focus actually makes this film a little damaged.

Fresh and Delicious Food for Zombie Fans

Apart from these problems, The Cured is undeniably a fresh, new and "delicious" dish for those of us who are fans of zombie stories. The premise is unique, the acting is gokil and the cinematography that is displayed is cool and chilling .

But at the same time, for those of you who prefer “ gore-zombie ” films , you may be disappointed. Because The Cured can be said to be very minimal showing blood and flesh splattered.

But then again, if you're the type who's bored until your brain wants to come out with most zombie stories nowadays, then The Cured is a must watch for all of you. Hopefully, after The Cured, in the future there will be many more filmmakers like Freyne who want to produce an unusual zombie story ( out of the box ) Amen.

Review of The House with a Clock in its Walls: A Not Too Horror Comedy That's Suitable for Families

 When you finally see the film, it can be said that there are several elements of Goosebumps in this film. Ultimately, though, the film is  The House with a Clock in its Walls . Then, is  The House with a Clock in its Walls really a fun and  enjoyable  film as promised by the  trailer ?

Dark Fantasy That Entertains the Family

If we talk about the entertaining ( enjoyable ), the film directed by Eli Roth ( Hostel ) is said to be samgat entertaining. Especially if we watch with family. Guaranteed geeks will get a very beautiful quality time with family.

Who would have thought that the filmmaker, who is famous for his gory and spooky works , would be able to direct a film that is clearly outside the shutter of its genre . But, that's the reality of geeks . Without his qualified direction, it is guaranteed that this film will be far from entertaining what has been said.

This Massachusetts-based director, was a great success in presenting the fantasy elements that are the essence of the story without losing its signature suspense. In his hands, this film feels magical, funny and at the same time feels quite creepy . The jokes that are displayed are also quite funny, although some of them sometimes don't really hit.

Pacing Too Fast

Apart from the jokes that don't really hit, the pacing of this film is somehow too fast ( to the point ). It's even better than rambling here and there isn't it? But, it's precisely the pacing that slows down a bit, it's really needed.

The reason is that the pacing, which is not immediately " like bik buk ", will provide space for the introduction of Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro) with his uncle who is a warlock, Jonathan Barnavelt (Jack Black), feels more detailed and in-depth.

Geeks remember how the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) movie paced ? If you think about it with a duration of 2.5 hours, with a lot of exposition pacing , it will feel long and boring, right?

But why don't many fans feel that way? Because the film must be told with such pacing so that we can witness and understand in depth the intricacies of Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe) life journey in his first year until it finally ends up against his nemesis, Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes).

Indeed, the film shows how Lewis first met Jonathan and his "unique" neighbor and assistant, Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett), then he became more and more interested in becoming a Warlock as well as his uncle.

But as has been said, the process is presented very quickly and too to the point which eventually makes us not care about Lewis's life journey. Moreover, the story of this film has 12 chapters in the novel. If Harry, who has only 7 novels, can "take their time" to cultivate his pacing , why can't The House with a Clock ?

Black-Blanchett's Magical Chemistry & Charisma

Fortunately, in the midst of the speed of pacing , Roth was still able to find loopholes to display exposition scenes that kept us informed of the background of the characters displayed.

Apart from that, another important aspect that helps this film to its fullest is the appearance as well as the magical and unexpected chemistry  of Hela and Po. Oops we mean Black & Blanchett.

Come to think of it, Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. One comedic one dramatic. Furthermore, before meeting each other in this film, the two had never appeared together. Where can you show cool chemistry ? But in reality, once again, the opposite is true.

The two characters they play can support each other, which in turn makes their interactions very dynamic. Not to mention that basically both of them are charismatic figures, especially Black. Bottom line, if it weren't for these two, this film is guaranteed to be pretty boring.

Then what about Vaccaro? Was he successful in his biggest lead role? It can be said that in the debut of this main role, the child actor who was first recognized through his role as Dylan in Daddy's Home (2015) is quite okay but unfortunately, a crybaby.

We don't know if Lewis is like this in his novel. But what is clear in this film is that he is described as having a crybaby mentality, although sometimes that is not the case. But in one scene he is shown sobbing which makes him look like a crybaby boy.

We understand when he was like that, it was due to a sensitive matter related to his deceased mother. But we think it would be better if his sadness was not displayed so whiny. But apart from this complaint, overall Vaccaro performed quite well.

In the end, despite the various complaints that have been mentioned previously and the main villain who has a very generic motif, The House with the Clock in its Walls , is a very entertaining, mysterious and quite exciting adaptation.

As said, the story is divided into 12 novels. In the future, the studio plans to adapt the remaining 11 stories, hopefully they can learn a lot from all the shortcomings in this film.

Because in our opinion, this franchise has great potential to become Harry Potter or in other words, a new cool franchise  story for today's young audience. Let's just pray that it will be.

Well, for geeks who this weekend might want to take their family to watch together, make sure you watch The House with the Clock in its Walls . Guaranteed, your time with your family will be very enjoyable.

Spider-Man: No Way Home streaming release date: When will No Way Home get on Disney Plus?

 Spider-Man: No Way Home has fired to success, with the second greatest box office in history-- but when can fans experience the film at home?

Spider-Man and Marvel followers both old and new were waiting to see that would show up in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The stressful wait for the movie's release date on December 15th 2021 resulting in a highly successful opening, generating $751 million on the worldwide ticket office.

Also simply from viewing the trailer, we understood the film would certainly be packed loaded with Easter eggs.

To ensure they've detected them all, many followers are keen to enjoy the film in the house.

Below's when we might expect to see Spider-Man: No Way Home on streaming systems-- and also which one it could appear on.

Which streaming platform will Spider-Man: No Way Home show up on?

Spider-Man films are slightly trickier to discover on streaming platforms than various other films in the MCU.

This is because Sony holds the legal rights to Spider-Man residential or commercial properties as opposed to Disney, so they do not show up on Disney Plus.

Right now, a lot of Spider-Man movies throughout all 3 iterations are offered to stream on Netflix in the UK.

Sony has actually not stated anything better concerning what other streaming platforms could also obtain the civil liberties to No Way Home down the line.

When will Spider-Man: No Way Home appear on DVD?

However, you will certainly be able to acquire Spider-Man: No Way Home on DVD, with an estimated release day in March 2022.

You will likewise likely be able to acquire an electronic version of the film on Amazon Video and iTunes around the same time.

When is the Spider-Man: No Way Home streaming release day?

Starz will have the legal rights to Spider-Man: No Way Home for 18 months after its launch day, which brings us to July 2023.

It's vague whether Starz has unique rights, yet maybe that systems will only have the ability to show No Way Home after this day.

Already, the Spider-Man films can have gotten to Disney Plus, making it feasible to view No Way Home on Disney's system along with various other MCU films.

Bohemian Rhapsody Review: A Flamboyant & Emotional Biopic

 If we think about it again, it's really “crazy” that a biopic about this legendary British Rock N' Roll band could be realized. How come? As we know, this Queen biopic film project is more than a decade in development.

And in that period of time, various kinds of drama and obstacles colored here and there. Starting from Sacha Baron Cohen ( Bruno, Borat ) whose vision as well as his desire to play the frontman , Freddie Mercury was not realized to the chaos behind the scenes that colored the filming process (read: Bryan Singer was fired).

Seeing all the chaos, once again, it is not surprising that many people are amazed and do not believe that the Bohemian Rhapsody film project can be realized.

But in the end, the film was released and what we can say, is the right decision when 20th Century FOX and the team decided to keep going despite the chaos / drama that colored it.

 

A nice biographical story to follow

Yep. In other words, here, Bohemian Rhapsody is a very enjoyable biopic .

Moreover, if geeks are basically fanboys of this flamboyant band. Indeed, this film only focuses on Queen's initial journey, which was originally a super bankrupt band to amaze the audience through their cool performance at the 1985 Live Aid event .

But the cool thing is, Singer ( X-Men ) and the substitute director, Dexter Fletcher ( Eddie the Eagle ), are able to process the order of the scenes very well.

It opens with the awakening of Freddie (Rami Malek) to prepare for a life-changing concert for himself and his band, then followed by a flashback of young Freddie in his early 70's, both of whom have successfully performed scene after scene very neatly.

The neatness displayed by Singer & Fletcher is also supported by an equally neat script written by Anthony McCarten ( The Theory of Everything ) which in the end, makes us enjoy following (more precisely, studying) the history of Freddie and the band's journey.

Not Too Accurate History

But regardless of the easy-to-follow plot, maybe for geeks who are fanboys of this band, they will feel a little bit disappointed by the inaccuracy of the appearance of the biographical story. And it can be said that there are quite a lot of inaccuracies.

One of them is when guitarist Brian May (Gwilym Lee) invites all his bandmates in the studio to create the sound of stamping their feet and clapping their hands which will later become the iconic applause in the song "We Will Rock You" (1977).

The inaccuracy here is of course the appearance of Malek as Freddie and Ben Hardy ( X-Men: Apocalypse ) as drummer Roger Taylor. The reason is that in the era of the creation of the song, Freddie in fact did not have a mustache and short hair. In addition, Taylor in this era has short hair.

Aside from these inaccuracies, we're pretty sure that the entire plot between Freddie and his lifelong girlfriend, Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) isn't quite as sweet and bitter as it appears. But fortunately, this inaccuracy does not necessarily make viewing pleasure sluggish.

Freddie Mercury Movie Instead of Queen

In addition to the inaccurate re-creation of the scene / timeline , perhaps another negative aspect that is very visible in this film is that this film looks more like a film about Freddie than Queen.

Of course. Freddie and Queen are like water and food aka, their figures cannot be separated at all. But, if geeks still remember, both FOX, the cast and even the original Roger Taylor and Brian May figures, often say that this film is a film about Queen.

Alias, this film will focus on Queen's journey from before success to the day before D Live Aid 1985. Okay, this film keeps its promise. But ironically, still in the end, Freddie's life is highlighted more. Again we're not saying it's wrong.

But considering the promise that had been promised earlier, this film should have been more balanced in the division of portions of each character and story.

 Fortunately, these shortcomings are covered by the appearance of the entire cast , which can be said to be very successful as the characters they play. And of all, it was Malek who really stole the show from start to finish.

Watching him both his physical transformation and his acting when playing young or middle-aged Freddie, is really like seeing the figure of Freddie rising from the grave. Freddie oops sorry Malek, successfully displays Freddie's flamboyance and vulnerability.

Freddie as we all know is super secretive, shy and only his closest friends and family know about it. But when on stage, he becomes a very different 180 degrees. Malek is once again very successful in displaying the range of differences shown.

Without his brilliant performance as Freddie, we're pretty sure this film wouldn't be as cool as it appears.

So don't be surprised at all if at the upcoming 2019 Oscars, Malek is successfully nominated as one of the best actors and it's not impossible that he will take home the award.

In the end, despite the historical inaccuracies and some other flaws , Bohemian Rhapsody is a very enjoyable Queen biopic and certainly very satisfying for all the band's fans .

It can even be said that non- fans are guaranteed to like the film. Singer, Fletcher, FOX and the band themselves, are sure to feel super proud of the cool achievements this super ambitious project has achieved. This film is not only successful in showing us that the figure of Freddie and this band is the champion of Rock N' Roll world.

Moreover, Bohemian Rhapsody has also succeeded in showing that despite all the behind-the-scenes drama that happened, this film (especially Singer) remains in the end, coming out as a champion figure in this very hard life.
