Chan's Kingdom

Went to the cinemas with 3 friends, somehow, I got the feeling that I was the 'lightbulb'(?) between my couple friends. Too bad LW was missing in the action, in his shop  LOL.

Anyway, one of my friends watched the trailer and told me that Chronicles was not his first choice. He said the trailer was not interesting and he did not get what is going on in that trailer. Ouch, that was a bummer. Maybe I would just fall asleep for the first time in the cinema, I thought .

I would not do a review here since my skills suck and there are tons of them, and some are really good if you Google them. 

 I think it is a nice and refreshing movie.

Many complained that this movie sucks or they wanted to sleep or they didn't understand a thing or they had wasted their money etc....

Maybe, just maybe, they were used to those action movies, where all those blasting sounds and stunning CG effects just came flying towards you. I am not a frequent customer of a cinema. I am fine with some silent scene in the movie, I am fine with the not-so-flashy effect.

The movie was shot like Paranormal Activity. The stories were told in videos recorded by cameras. All sort of cameras. From handycam to CCTV in the hospitals. A totally new experience for me. Some said they could not understand a thing because the shooting angle keeps changing and looks like a jumbled mess from youtube videos. I am perfectly fine with the story.

This is basically what I learnt from the movie. Andrew had great powers, but he used it in the wrong way. I was thinking, maybe he could just steal some medicine from the store for his mother. Why would he need to rob the petrol station? Then he would not end up in the rampaging situation afterwards.

I watched the trailer afterwards, and thought it was fine. The interesting part is in the comments though. They said you have basically watched the movie if you had watched the trailer. 

I am so glad I did not watch the trailer. :D
