By this time, we shouldn't be surprised at the crazy things that Ethan Hunt pulls off, but
ohh, you are gonna be extremely mind-blown after this stunt. Tom Cruise wanted to actually hold onto a giant plane while it was taking off, and he did it!
So if you were wondering why the stunt looked so real, it's because it was real.
Oh, by the way, this stunt is right at the beginning. That's not the action that you're waiting for. You're actaully waiting for another crazy motorcycle chase, which is quite intense. And some awesome fight scenes.
In this fifth installment of the chronicles of Ethan Hunt, Ethan is hunting an anti-IMF called The Syndicate. And he figures out that this Syndicate is real. He finds out in a record shop right after holding onto that plane.
In the record shop, he's captured in a room with windows on all sides, making a glass box. You're gonna want to remember this. Ethan is then transported to an interrogation center for the
Syndicate. With the help of a double agent, Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson, Hercules), he escapes.
This is one of the awesome fight scenes you're gonna wanna see. It totally rocks. In the meantime, the IMF has just been dissolved. A CIA agent played by Alec Baldwin, has taken it up with the United States Supreme Court, and is successful in bringing the IMF down. All IMF agents now have to report to Baldwin as agents of the CIA.
Ethan contacts Benji by sending him two tickets to an opera called "Turandot" in Vienna, Austria. Benji goes to Austria, and Ethan tells him that they have to thwart an assassination. But, as always, it won't be that simple. Ethan runs into one assassin, and takes him out. At the same time, there are two more assassins. One of them is Ilsa, and the other is like a fail-safe. Ethan locates the target in question, and
shoots his shoulder, bringing him out of harm's way. Ethan again has to escape, and Benji has already moved on out, getting a truck to pick Ethan up. Ethan escapes with Ilsa, and she gives Ethan a drive to let him know where she is in the disguise of lipstick. Alrighty, it's still early for me to be telling you everything that happens, and hopefully I have peaked your interest! I would definitely recommend this film for anyone who has stuck with Mission Impossible for the past 19 years. It's a blast. RATINGS: ACTION: 9.8 out of 10 IMF Agents- The action and the storyline were beautifully intertwined. There was plenty of buttkicking to go along with the stressful yet awesome plot. Truly a story to remember. FAMILY FRIENDLINESS: 7 out of 10 Hard Drives- Not really for your 6-9 year olds. I may consider 10-11 year olds, but 12 year olds should be fine. There is language, and there is only a short scene where Ilsa is in a swimsuit. That comes after she gives the lipstick drive to Ethan. Then she has a dress on that shows her entire leg, so a tinsee bit suggestive. But no sexuality at all. Then there is a scene after Ethan is in the water where Ilsa is turned around and takes off her shirt with no bra. So... some suggestive things to look out for. STORY LINE: 9 out of 10 Tickets- A really well-done plot, one that you can definitely follow, and one that will have you on the edge of your seat the entire film. I sure was. OVERALL: 9 out of 10 Stars- I took 9.8 + 7 + 9 and got 25.8, then divided that by 30. It was .86, so rounding up, I got that 9 that you're seeing. Overall, an extremely well-done flick, one that you will most likely watch over and over again. And just to give you an idea of the action you're missing out on, here's the official trailer:
The Minions are back and funnier than ever. Go back to way before the time of Gru, to when the Minions were searching for the perfect master. A narrator goes back to the beginning of
time to tell you how the Minions first came about, and what masters they served. They served dinosaurs and bears and a lot of other ferocious beasts, until finally coming across man.
The Minions liked man the best, and were trying to find the best evil men to serve. After Napoleon, the Minions went to the Arctic. Don't worry, the Minions do not serve Hitler. Around 1968, the Minions are longing for a new master.
So begins the quest of Bob, Kevin, and Stewart to find the biggest, baddest villain that they can possibly work for. Again, this adventure recently came out, and it is full of laughs! This is definitely a great family movie that you and your kids will love. Just so I peak your interest, here's a clip from the film:
No ratings needed, this is an awesome movie. So go see it and enjoy!!!
Get ready for one of the funniest Marvel movies that you will ever see! Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly deliver an excellent performance as they fight for the Pym particle against the evil Darren Cross. Hank Pym has created an amazing particle that can shrink people down to the size of
an ant. And S.H.I.E.L.D. wants it. But, Dr Pym knows all too well that the particle in the wrong hands could lead to something drastic. So, Dr Pym resigns from his position at S.H.I.E.L.D. in 1989.
Fast forward to the present day, and Scott Lang is being punched in the face as a farewell gift. He is finally getting released from the slammer, and he decides that he is done with stealing people's stuff. He gets picked up by one of his good friends and they go back to their apartment. Scott decides to get a job. Since he is an ex robber, he can't get any really good jobs, so instead he works at Baskin Robbins. But all too soon, he gets fired.
He goes to his daughter Cassie's birthday party, and talks to his wife about finally getting
to spend time with Cassie. He maps it out and figures out that he will have to work for 377 days until he can finally see Cassie. Not satisfied, Scott turns back to crime. His friend tells him of a big job that could get him a lot of money. But when he robs the place, it turns out that there is no money. Instead, there is a suit. Scott takes the suit home and tries it on. He shrinks and goes on a crazy "test run." Scott does not want any part of the suit and he returns it. On the way out from the house and returning the suit, he gets arrested. Dr Pym meets with Scott at the jail, pretending to be his lawyer. Dr Pym gives Scott a second chance by giving him the Ant-Man suit. Scott escapes from prison and makes it back to Dr Pym's house. Here, he is given his mission.
He has to break in to Pym Technologies and steal a suit; the Yellow Jacket. This Yellow Jacket is what Darren Cross has been working on for years now, after having been Dr Pym's pupil for so long. Darren Cross wants to make an army of Yellow Jackets. If that happens, the world will plunge into chaos.
I know it's a little early to be telling you all of this, so I will let you figure out the rest for yourself. This is really a fun movie, one that is sure going to be enjoyed by families over and over again. Really the only things you should watch out for is language. Other than that, Ant-Man is an enjoyable movie experience for all ages.
RATINGS:
Action: 8 out 10 Fire Ants- This was an awesome movie. Everything was nicely balanced, especially the action! There wasn't a whole lot of fighting, but all of the scenes with the ants were definitely action-packed.
FUN: 9.5 out of 10 Trucks-C'mon, for those who have seen this movie, you gotta admit this was a really fun movie. It was like Guardians of the Galaxy, just a lot more references. And if you are well-rounded in movies and TV shows, you should get most of the references.
Story-line: 9 out of 10 Pym Particles- This story was very well done. I love how they balanced every single character, and they definitely took the time to develop Scott, Hank, Hope, and even Darren Cross! Trust me, you won't regret seeing this movie.
Overall: 9 out of 10 Stars- I rounded the math up, but if you see the movie, you'll know why. But yea! That's my review for the last movie in Marvel's Phase Two!
Hiya everyone!!! I am so sorry that I haven't posted. I was on vacation in Texas, and I saw so many movies that I really didn't have the time to put up those reviews. But guess what??? Here are the movies that I will review in order, so again I apologize, and look forward to these upcoming reviews!!! Oh, and enjoy the trailers :)
Get ready for the Terminator movie you have wanted to see ever since the disappointment of "Terminator: Salvation." Back and better than ever, Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers an excellent performance as the 101st Model T-800 Terminator. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.
T E R M I N A T O R
G E N I S Y S
Kyle Reese begins the film by explaining that his parents would tell him of a world before the war with the machines...a world he never knew. He explains that Skynet was the driving force behind the Apocalyptic world Kyle was raised in. *NOTE: If you have seen Terminator 3 and/or Terminator: Salvation, you can scrap those story lines about how Kyle met John Connor.*
As a child Kyle was constantly on the run from the Terminators. On one such occasion,
The T-1000, not supposed to show up until Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Kyle ran into a sewer. A "skin-job" followed him and was about to kill him when John drops in and shoots the Terminator down.
From here, Kyle explains how John raised him, and taught him and the Resistance how to fight back. Some called John Connor a prophet, but to Kyle, he was much more. John was a friend. Now, the night where we pick up the story is the last battle.
This is the night the Resistance will destroy Skynet forever. John has sent a battalion to the Central Core of Skynet, and they are currently working on destroying the main CPU. Skynet realizes it is losing, and therefore sends a Terminator back in time... young Schwarzenegger. Soon after, Skynet is shut down. The Terminators lose all functionality, and the Resistance has won... or so they think.
They set up base at the time machine, and John explains that one person must go back in
Young vs. Old Schwarzenegger
time to protect his mother if there will ever be hope for the survival of humanity.
Many volunteer, and John does not choose them. Finally, Kyle speaks up and says, "I'll go. Let me save her." "Why should I choose you over them?" asks John. "You know why." And yes we all know why. Kyle loves Sarah.
So Kyle prepares himself and steps onto the platform that will send him back to 1984. As the machine is charging up, John looks on, then is attacked by an unknown soldier. Remember this guy. When he grabs John, he grabs him around the mouth, and an energy begins to pulse through John. Just as this happens, Kyle is gone, and is transported back to 1984.
Now, if you have watched the original Terminator film, you are gonna see a lot of familiar things. I won't spoil, but I'll let die-hard fans flip out on their own.
One of the things that is odd about this 1984 is that there is a Terminator that is not supposed to come in until the second movie. Yea, the T-1000 is here to hunt Kyle, too.
But before that, if you remember correctly, Schwarzenegger arrives first and goes to see the punks where he first gets his clothes. "Nice night for a walk," he repeats from one of the punks.
He also tells them he needs their clothes.
But before the killing can happen, an older Schwarzenegger comes from the darkness and says, "I've been waiting for you." He has a Remington and looks like he is ready to kick some serious butt.
The younger Schwarzenegger charges and a battle ensues, ending with the younger version being shot down by Sarah Connor. When he's shot down, we see the familiar thumbs-up from Terminator 2: Judgment Day by the older Schwarzenegger.
The T-3000
The scene switches to Kyle running from the Terminator cop, picking up his clothes like in the original Terminator film. He gets changed in the changing room and drops down in his Nikes.
The Terminator stabs through the back of the changing room and Kyle has gotta scram fast. As he's running, he runs into two cops, one being called O'Brian. Remember this guy, too. He'll be coming up later.
O'Brian and his pal arrest Kyle, and Kyle attempts to tell them that a Terminator is coming and that they're gonna die. Of course they don't listen and O'Brian's friend gets killed.
Just as the T-1000 is going to terminate Kyle and O'Brian, a huge truck breaks through the store and runs into the Terminator.
The door opens and Sarah Connor yells, "Come with me if you want to live!" The T-1000 gets up and begins to walk forward when Sarah starts shooting him up.
"NOW SOLDIER!"
Kyle runs into the truck and Sarah starts driving. The T-1000 throws a liquid part of himself onto the truck in order to track them.
So, I'm pretty sure you can imagine that Kyle is just as confused as we are. He starts out by asking what's going on, that this past is all messed up, and that something is terribly wrong.
Sarah says, "Look, I know that John sent you back, but the past he knew about is changed." Whaaa'?
Well then! I'm gonna leave the play-by-play narrative of the story here. It's pretty early since the film just came out, but I highly suggest seeing the movie. I'll put the trailer below so you can try and get a feel for what's going on, although the trailer really won't explain anything.
But yea! I'll leave my ratings below, I recommend reading them. But just so you know right now, the film is PG-13, so there's no sexuality.
RATINGS
Family Friendliness: 5 out of 10 Time Portals- I advise caution for ages 11 and younger. There is extreme violence and a lotta swearing. But, there is little to no blood and no sexuality. Also, what nudity there is, it's because of the time travel, and you may catch a little bit of butt and maybe some of Emilia Clarke's breasts. So... Parental Discretion is advised.
Story-line: 9.5 out of 10 T-800's
The story is well-developed and is brought together at the end. It all ties together so beautifully, and you leave the theater completely mind-blown. This is definitely a film to watch over and over again.
Action: 9.8 out of 10 T-3000's
Oh…my…gosh. There is no way to explain the amount of action. It was totally awesome!
Overall Rating: 9.5 out of 10 Guns- My math came out to be 8.1 but I couldn't let that be the case, so I added 1.4 guns to the equation. But 8.1 is to be taken if your child is 12 and under.
