Avatar and 3 Idiots

Recently i watched Avatar 3D and 3 Idiots on the same weekend, although i must admit that i was watching them pretty late as they were released much earlier. I didnt know why i did not find time to watch them earlier :( None the less i managed to watch them both :) .As this was my first 3D film let me share my movie experience as well as review them.

Now, it was a saturday morning which is a blessing for people like me who are software professionals as we could relax and have fun at home.But my friend had other ideas,he messaged me around 11am and tells me to get ready so that we can watch avatar.This was a last minute plan and we browsed through the internet and found that show was at 2-55pm at INOX in Garuda Mall.But we both knew that getting tickets was next to impossible.But we wanted to giv a try and  left home. We reached garuda and as expected didnt get the tickets :( SOLD OUT was the board…

Now, a quick change of direction, we headed to MG road where fame shankarnag was playing the same movie at 5-30pm. Luckily this time we got 2 gold class tickets (i seriosuly dont know what these classes mean) and now we had 4 full hours to spend before the show. And wait,we were hungry so headed out to Nagarjuna hotel (amazing biryani,trust me !) and finished lunch there. Then we roamed around in Brigade and shopped for a while then had snacks at McDonalds and headed back to theater in time.

Once we reached it,we had to pay advance for those 3D googles(they were definitely one of its kind..lol) and settled down in the theater.Then started the epic movie,well for the initial minutes of the movie,people were busy cleaning the glass and few kids complaining to their parents about the glass :) :) .Finally me and my friend settled in as the movie was taking us on a ride through Pandora. Well personally i felt the movie was pretty decent and i must say that the animations are brilliant. I liked the floating mountains concept,which was really breathtaking. It was something new which most of us never expected and hence the movie clicked. Seriously hats off to James Cameroon. My personal rating of the movie would be about 4.5 out of 5.

The next day,i had managed to download 3 idiots the previous night. So i thought i should watch it since it had a lot of media attention, the movie was kind of OK ,but not great like many people told me. The songs were pretty good (especially the lines “Give me some sunshine,Give me some Rain…..”) and ofcourse Aamir’s acting was brilliant and even Kareena was decent.The story line i thought was not exactly related to the book,but it had parts taken from it. But anyways it was a OK movie according to me.

So folks,watch both movies as there is lot of excitement awaiting you!

Review Time–>Wake Up Sid & Inglorious Basterds

October 31, 2009 at 12:54 pm (Leisure, Movie Reviews) (, , , )

Hi there,

Well i was thinking of what to write ,then it struck my mind that i had watched two movies recently so let me share my opinion about them. The first one was Wake Up Sid which is a pretty decent movie filled with amazing music , the story backdrop is not a new one wherein a boy from a rich family will not have a definite goal in life till he meets a girl and she changes his life. Ranbir Kapoor is awesome in this movie with his happy go lucky character and Konkana is absolutely brilliant. The movie has shots about friendship and how it is important in life and little family sentiment is also involved. No comments about the songs (absolutely amazing!!!!). I would say this movie is a must watch.

Now coming to the second movie of which i had very hopes,in the end i was pretty disappointed with director Quentin Tarantino’s effort
wherein first half of the movie was going nowhere, one scene not related to the other,for a moment i thought wait a second was this the same director who came up with movies like Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. But the second half of the movie was kinda decent with a “bit” of action.Brad Pitt is amazing in the movie,his dialogue delivery and acting is superb. And i must add 70 percent of the movie there is no English,only subtitles. Overall movie was not up to the mark that i expected :(

I am movie buff and movies are a part of my life ,so expect more reviews to come here :)
