The Raid

The Raid is not your regular action movie. I have watched quite a few Japanese, Chinese, Korean action movies, they are known for their grace and elegance. But not this World renowned Indonesian movie. It shows you brutal and ugly hand to hand combat scenes one after another, that you yourself like the protagonist are out of breath. Would not recommend to people with weak stomach, but to all else do watch the movie once. Not very rewatchable unless you are really into hand to hand combat scenes. But it is a movie you will get recommended a lot, so lets get it done with.

Transcendence

Transcendence is a good movie. It has a great concept, life after death by transferring your consciousness into an AI and then the AI does much more. Such a brilliant concept, but the movie felt a bit straightforward. Visuals, music, cast everything is great, just the story could have been much better. Nevertheless, Transcendence is a good watch. I have watched it a couple of times now, might watch it again after a few months.

Predestination

2014 ‧ Sci-fi/Action ‧ 1h 37m A movie filled with so many spoilers, would recommend not even watching the trailer, and felt cheated even reading the description of the trailer. Just trust me and take a leap of faith. This under-rated movie was never recommended to me by anyone. And was put off by me twice, once after skipping through the movie and not seeing anything special and the 2nd time watching the movie and getting bored after 10mins, as I couldn’t even understand what genre of movie I was…
