Tomorrowland !!

Tomorrowland is a Science Fiction directed by Brad Bird and co-written and produced by Bird, Demon Lindelof and Jeffery Chernov.

The movie stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy and many more.

The Plot:

In the beginning, the flashback of a young Frank Walker (Thomas Robinson) is shown, who goes to a New York World's Fair. He meets David Nix (Hugh Laurie), who discourages him as his jetpack invention was not really in a working condition.  But the discouraged boy had attracted the attention of a young girl named Athena (Raffey Cassidy), who gives him a pin with the letter "T" embossed on it and asks Frank to follow her.  Frank sneaks into one of the rides of the fair; his pin gets scanned and he gets transported to a place called the Tomorrowland.

Years later, a girl Casey Newton (Britt Robertson), tries to sabotage the the machines that are dismantling the launch pad of a NASA launch site.  While returning home, Athena sneaks in and drops another pin in Casey's valet.  The next night, Casey gets arrested at the NASA launch site.  At the police station, after being released, Casey finds the pin with all of her other belongings.

When she comes in contact with the pin, she gets transported to a very different land, the 'Tomorrowland'.  The pin had a timer running backwards; the second the timer hit 'zero', she was transported back to where she belonged.

This is when Athena is discovered to be a robot and George Clooney (older Frank) appears and the story really becomes very interesting.  The movie is a Sci-Fi, and has a very good story-line to it.  If you appreciate sci-fi movies then its quite a treat... its a mouth full...

The gadgets, futuristic trains, futuristic swimming pools and at a point a girl in the Tomorrowland speaks of travelling only 20 light-years away from her parents... must be going on a vacation I guess, with her friends :D  My favourite part was when the Eiffel Tower cracks in two halves and the rocket takes off from right in-between. 

Let me know what you feel about it...

Cheers!!

Avengers: Age of Ultron

This film is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of Avengers, produced by the Marvel Studios and written & directed by Joss Whedon.

The movie is filled with names like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders and many more...

The Plot:
In Sokovia the Avengers raid the outpost led by Strucker and capture the scepter that was initially in the hands of Loki. By then Strucker had experimented on two twins, who had turned into super-humans.  The boy had immense speed and the girl and mind-manipulation and mind-reading skills.

Stark and team retrieve the scepter to his facility, where he and Banner find out that there was Artificial Intelligence in the scepter and wished to use it for Stark's "ULTRON" project for global defense.  Initially Banner shows resistance as he feels that it was an area unexplored by anyone and could have negative implications; but later he joins Stark.  This is the point when the twist happens.

The Marvel Movies have always thrilled us with their imaginations, their styles and their superheroes.  This is another one of those movies which would not let you leave the seat... and yes wait for the completion of the credits... Marvels always have surprises for you.

Cheers!!
