Back To The Future Trilogy


I always held back watching Back To The Future (yes, indeed, I'm a naturally born procrastinator) because I thought that I had more interesting movie to watch. But, one day, I gave it a try. I watched Back To The Future Part 1, and I'm in love with the whole its idea!


Seriously, I think there should be more films with this kinda of theme. It's a fun  Sci-Fi Movie (I meant, really fun one but not like Predestination kinda fun). The way Robert Zemeckis told us a story about time travelling was so simple and easy, not to mention, very interesting. Like you're watching a movie about time travelling, tangent universe and asking how does time work, without getting tangled. You'll just understand it naturally, without thinking too hard. I love how Robert Zemeckis simplify this movie to make children understand about its story. This movie is so humble and definitely a classic that I'd make my children watch, someday :)


But, the most annoying about it was the connection between part 1, part 2 and part 3. It had always been like... Marty time traveled, Marty found Biff, Biff chased Marty, Biff ended up burried in a pile of crap. Also, the part when Marty woke up in a bedroom and called the girl Mom and telling her how he had a bad dream was annoying too. I meant, really? I binge-watched Back To The Future Trilogy and it started to get annoying in the Part 2 :p

Well, afterall, this movie really is a classic that your children or grandchildren should watch in the future. If time travel would be invented in their generation, maybe this movie would be a warm reminder for them :)

Coherence: Simple Sci-fi That Would Makes Your Heart Pounds

That's quite a long title for a blog post.
But, it's pretty much what I wanna say.

Coherence.



A simple sci-fi movie that makes your heart really pounds the whole time.
This is an indie low-budget movie, but the story just so good.
They said, James Ward Byrkit (the director) only have 5 days and no script when make this. but I say, no freaking way. I mean, you got to be think a lot when making a movie like this. The story itself was about a comet anomaly that happened in a night when the comet fell to the Earth. And you just gotta know who your friends really are.


Everything was so simple like the sets and the shots, but you just get the suspense. The actors are great. I didn't spot any famous face here, but I didn't mind. They were great! The strenght of this movie was the story, and the theory that supported the anomaly that happened in that movie. It was just so powerful.


It's like, watching a lighter version of Donnie Darko.

But, I kinda don't like the ending. I mean, you built the story, the theory and the suspense. And when we reached an anti-climacs, Byrkit gave an open ending. So hate it. I mean, I want everything to be solved! Don't leave me hanging, please.

Despite the ending, I'm gonna give Coherence 4.5 out of 5. I just love this movie very much. You really should watch it if you miss a movie kinda like Donnie Darko.


I just really love this version of Coherence's poster.
