Movies

CORALINE
I went to watch this movie as it was part of the school's post-exam activities.
This girl, Coraline, finds herself in another world where everything is PERFECT, unlike her real world. She starts to like it a lot. However, the people in that world have button eyes. When the perfect mother tells her to sew on button eyes so that Coraline can stay in that world, Coraline refuses and gets frightened. It turns out that the perfect mother is not as perfect as she thinks. You may watch the show to find out what exactly happens.
I will give it a rating of 2.5/5.
Firstly, the 3D animation is abit too dizzy for me and the glasses are too heavy. Hahas. It would be best to watch it with contacts. Also, the starting of the show is not really that interesting. Like it is quite draggy. The behind part of the movie is more interesting. :)


ASTRO BOY
Iris and I went to watch Astro Boy yesterday at Century Square. :) You may read Iris' post too.
Anyway, this story is about a little boy called Toby who is the son of a famous professor, Dr Tenma. A guy running for an election comes to know about the blue and red core. The blue is positive energy while the red is negative energy. The guy puts a red core inside a robot and the robot ends up killing Toby. Dr Tenma is depressed over Toby's death and recreates a new robot which resembles Toby and it also has his memories. The robot is powered up by the blue core. However, Dr Tenma soon realises that the robot is not Toby. 'Toby' knows about it and rushes off to find his own place in the world. He meets friends. He thus names himself Astro. Meanwhile, the election guy takes the red core. He tracks down Astro and fights against him...
I give this movie 3/5.
The plot is quite interesting. :) The animations are cool and I am quite touched at some points. But, it was not exactly enough to keep me crying for a whole 2 minutes. Haha. XD
