'Passangers' Movie Review

So, here it goes. This will be my first post to this new blog and it's centred around the movie Passangers. How about we get straight into it? Let's go.

Ok, so, the basic summary given. In hopes of finding a new life, 5,000 passengers board a flight, the Starship Avalon, that is allegedly supposed to be heading for a new home planet aka. Homestead II. The passengers are put into "hibernation" by the use of special pods for 120 in which they will experience no medical complication and will also avoid death. Thirty years into the flight a meteor penetrated what I believe was supposed to be a protective barrier or forcefield around the ship and caused a number of system failures. One extremely unlucky individual by the name of Jim Preston, a mechanic, is affected by these failures when his pod 'shuts down'. Upon finding no-one beside himself on the ship, Jim does some investigative work and discovers that he has been woken up too early. He then goes on to spend a very specific 1 year and 3 weeks alone on the ship, wel technically there is the robo...uh...I mean Android bartender, Arthur, before attempting to destroy another passangers pod by using his skills in mechanics. He successfully wakes a girl, writer Aurora, from her hibernation after and internal battle with himself, who else is there to fight with? Aurora is in complete shock but soon falls in love with Jim. The two continue trying to find  way back into hibernation whilest system failures are basically trying to take down the whole ship. After some time of basic nothingness in the movie, we finally reach the scene where Jim decides to propose before Arthur spills the truth about what Jim did. Blah, blah, bah basic nothingness again until ... "who the hell planted a tree on my ship". Yes, the chief of the ship wakes up due to pod failure also... how nice. They explain to him the situation and he does his best to help before discovering he has well over 600 disorders and is about to die... very soon. So, there he goes, he passed away and gave Jim his ID band so that he can access basically everything on the ship. After alot of hoopla, it appears that the fusion engine exhaust has to be vented but the only way to open the door is to manually hols it open while the engine cools down. After being blasted by fucking hot-ass exhaust from an engine, Jim miraculously survives and then dies, from a lack of oxygen, due to the only thing connecting him to the ship snapping in two and leaving him to drift in space...yay. Aurora not wanting him to die jumpes out of the ship, brings him back to it, manually drags him to a machine, puts him to lie in it, puts him under multiple surgical proceedeures at a time that could be possibly fatal (why not give it a shot? He's dead anyway) and guess what...he lives. *Gasps*. The movie then goes on to show 88years later when the ship is now overgrown with greenery and over-run with chickens. Such a beautiful ending to such an entertaining movie.

Now I'm going to be extremely cut-throat and give you my honest thought on the movie.
Tomorrow...

'Deadpool' - Movie Thoughts- Special Post

To officially close off this wonderful but at the same time not so wonderful year, I'm gonna do an honest review of the best movie of the year in my opinion, 'Deadpool'. I'm gonna cut the summary from this one and get straight to the good stuff. As we all know, some of the most anticipated movies of 2016 have turned into the biggests flops of the year. There was one movie in particular however that did not die in 2016, and that was Deadpool. Being a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the first Iron Man came out, I think it's safe to say that I do indeed have a soft-spot for the movies created by this company. Deadpool, however, proved to be that one push that the Marvel Universe needed to introduce the very first of many R-rated Marvel/Superhero movies. Skeptical about the whole R-rated thing I decided to follow the movie up to its release. The couple months leading up to Deadpool didn't really see most people taking an interest in the movie but a...
