Coming in May
So, it is finally here the blockbuster movie season and it starts off with a bang thankfully after a very sad bunch of movie releases during April.
X-men Origins: Wolverine: You can’t have a summer movie experience without a comic book related film. This latest in the Marvel collection shows a Hollywood interpretation of the beginnings of one of marvels beloved sons Wolverine. With more mutants more action and more effects the common person will find this film to be amazing yet fans will need a closer look to issue a verdict on its overall presentation, but I’m excited anyway.
Star Trek: This is not my parents Star Trek in fact I may turn in my Star Wars fan-boy card and make more of a move to be a Trekkie if this movie turns out like the previews show. This high octane Sci-Fi action adventure will breath life back in to the Star Trek name for the movie public at the cost of alienating fans in the long run, but I think it is great move and looks amazing.
Angles & Demons: Tom Hanks reprises his role as Dr. Robert Langdon in this prequel to the bestselling and box office hit The Da Vinci Code. This time the church is under attack from an ancient group, the Illuminati, which fell under its harsh religiously violent boot hundreds of years before. It is up to Langdon to find the clues and use his intellect to discover the plot before it is too late for the church.
Terminator Salvation: Terminator Salvation will be the first terminator film to star Christian Bale, with no Arnold Schwarzenegger in sight, it might be my new favorite terminator movie. This Film takes moviegoers into the future where the machines have taken the world and humanity is fighting back the best they can. This film will be a divergence in the original storyline, but when the story centers so much on time travel you can’t hold it against the movie makers. This should be a rambunctious robot run rampaging ruckus of a blockbuster that is until Transformers hits later this summer.
Night at the museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian: Finally, we have one of my picks that is more of a family friendly film. I am not fan of Ben Stiller’s works nor did I see the original in theaters. Yet, with a great fantasy feel, I loved the original when I finally saw it and was very happy to here that there was a second film in the works. This will prove to be one of the best family movies of the early summer.
Up: Time for the dominant force in CG film making to make their presence felt yet again. Up is the newest film to come from Pixar and is a delightful tale about two unlikely companions who find adventure in the skies of the world, with a flying house. With many different aspects to this film, I see it as a cross between Gulliver’s Travels, The Wizard of Oz with a small splash of Around the World in Eighty Days. Pixar never makes anything that sucks and should earn an Oscar next year for this one.
