We are Fight Aliens Within Inner Space (Contagion) and outer space - on the moon in (Appolo 18)

Contagion probably is one of the best cast movie of the year. You got OSCAR Winner dropping like flies all over the place. While I love the concept and the actors and actresses in the movie, but to tell the truth, aside from the box office success, every scene is so short lived that I could hardly feel any chemistry at all. It’s a good story telling but there’s no sparks. Just a straight forward dooms day theoretically portrayal of the future. If a highly contagious virus just spread, the one side I love is the authority and the politics reaction just hit it right on target in the movie. But it is far from any infectious movie I’ve seen before. There’s no buzz afterwards or before. There’s just all the calm lines delivered. And it’s not apocalyptic either. Not sad, not blast-astic, just plain old story telling.

The other show premiering on the Asian Border is Apollo 18. If you don’t know what the movie is about you are in for a shock. I was in a cinema totally fully packed with at least 90% of them having no idea what the movie is about, some even bring their kids in. Fortunately they are asleep even before the astronaut landed on the moon. And this teen sitting behind me keep asking whether this is real or not. Aren’t they the new generation with internet at their finger tips? With one click they’ll got the answer? Didn’t he recognize Alphas (the TV Show) and the guy from Miss Porter movie?

(Well apparently the prediction statistic that show the internet is not making people become closer is proven correct now a days. We are more divided now a day with the relationship far too easily obtain and broken and real human contact shrink close to 0 in a day. Anyway that’s another movie in the making.)

Back to Apollo 18, the mission that did not happen, is in essence a sci-fi horror movie. The theme is classified file have been release and here’s the reason that Apollo 18 was never officially reported and the reason why mankind have never venture into the moon anymore. ……. Shhhh……. There are others on the moon and they can dominate our whole population…… ain’t that an old trick in space movie?

Anyway, I love the idea, the film done fantastically well just want thing. If you don’t like Cloverfield, then this one might not be your cup of tea either. The realist camera movement can sometimes give you motion sickness. At least I’ve seen one guy went out half way to throw up. So be careful when you watch this one.
