Rushed down after work to Suntec City for this movie. See previous post on how I got a pair of free tickets. The train today was really slow and stopped twice from Raffles City MRT station to City Hall MRT station! The whole journey from my workplace at Alexandra Road to Suntec City, Eng Wah Cinema took me 45 minutes.
SYNOPSIS:
In Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply. (Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093357/)
TRAILER:
REVIEWS:
First of all, I don't find the 3D effect impressive. It feels like a normal 2D movie except that I have to wear another heavy glasses. The whole movie is quite predictable with a weak storyline. In the beginning it shows how the main characters from different places met at a club in Moscow and get to know one another. Suddenly, the electricity of the club got cut off and they saw strange looking lights drifting down from the sky. Once they touch down on the ground, they turned invisible. Everyone went out to have a look and on further investigation, they realised that anybody who came into contact with the invisible object would get disintegrated. Okay, this part is scary. Imagine if it really happens in real life, I don't think I can survived. They are invisible, they can sense human beings and can easily zapped human beings up into thin air. How to avoid them? But in the movie, the 5 youngsters managed to get away and survived. Of course they have to if not there won't be anymore story to tell. So the genius of the group was convinced that the invisible "aliens" were actually energy waves and had came down to Planet Earth to steal Earth's natural resources and minerals. Since they are energy waves, the way to avoid them is to stay indoor at day and go out at night as the Invisible "aliens" have the power to turn on objects that needs electricity. So if they see that the street lights were lighted up, it means those "aliens" were nearby. Survival tip here, get to know more of the enemies you are dealing with. Observed their traits. Throughout their escaping plan to reach the submarine which is the safe meeting place for all other survivors, the 5 of them met with heroic soldiers who stayed to fight the aliens, a young, brave and resourceful lady and a crazy scientist with homemade equipment that successfully managed to block those aliens but not for long. From there, the whole movie is of them getting zapped away one by one. In the end, only three of them survived. Needless to say, out of the three, emerged a pair of lover. Ya, these movies always have to end with one man and one woman surviving and becoming lovers after managed to escape from a big disasters. So predictable. This movie makes aliens from outer space seems really scary. Can someone make a movie of some nice and friendly aliens like the E.T.? Overall, I would rate this movie 2/5.
