MOVIE REVIEW: PACIFIC RIM - UPRISING



The initial first Pacific Rim was a masterpiece directed by Guillermo del Toro and also the main soundtrack by Ramin Djawadi was also crazy addictive and suited the whole Robot vs Monsters (Kaiju) vibe. Fast forward 5 years later, Pacific Rim Uprising is supposed to take on the epic-ness of the first Pacific Rim and continue what del Toro did with initial Pacific Rim.


THE GOOD

More Jaegers. This time we are looking at 3 different kinds of jaegers which Gipsy Avenger being the highlight in the movie. So your eyes are entertained if you are going in for more Jaegers. More action. This movie brings lots of action from the start right to the end, this time you get Jaeger on Jaeger action and also Jaeger on Kaiju action, the fighting sequences are more fluid from the first and it seems like, after 10 years, they now know how to make Jaeger more fluid and fighting this time looks more like ninja jumping around instead of big machine whacking on each other. Terrific CGI. The team actually did a very good CGI throughout the whole movie as you will not realize some of the scenes are using green screen thus there are not glaring when you are watching the movie.

THE BAD

Storyline. There is basically no storyline in this movie, coming from the Del Toro to this new director, you can pretty sure nothing has been done just pure action. that's all. Character Development. Zero character development for the movie franchise also, so technically the old character you like from the first franchise, no longer exist except maybe Mako Mori and well she didn't last that long 

CONCLUSION

Watch Pacific Rim Uprising without the expectation of the first Pacific Rim. If you like robot fighting, you will love this, I was enjoying the fights between Jaeger and Kaiju. Should you watch it in cinema? You should be a fan, if not you could probably just wait for torrent out. Also, too much mandarin for my taste in a movie.

FOOD REVIEW: LA CREMERIA - ABSOLUTELY ALMOND

Image
So Le GF told me that La Cremeria by Nestle recently launched a new ice cream to rival Magnum. It also comes with the almond flavour and she gotten one for me to try out. The only good thing about this ice cream that it was FREE. If I have paid for this, I would have jumped out of 14th floor already and bring this ice cream with me. I UPCAR (meaning con)  when I heard that this is rival to Magnum.  La Cremeria Absolutely Almond First thing first, the wrapper is more interesting than the new Magnum retarded wrappers but that is about it. Once inside, you get an ice cream with some almonds on it, like 2 or 3. I can fucking count it with my fingers. Refer below for a pathetic ice cream.  LOLWTFISTHIS?! That being said, maybe it taste better than it looks right? WELL FUCK, I thought the same too. The taste was as shitty as it looks. The outer layer seems to covered with some cheap ass chocolate, at one point of a time I swore it felt like they recycle whatever soon to be exp

REVIEW: CASIO G-SHOCK DW-5600MS

Image
I find it hard to not write about something like this as the price factor and the pure comfort of the watch. The 5600 series from Casio has been around nested nicely under G-Shock without much of anything to shout about. The design is different from the round type you see from the G-Shock series. The 5600 is more towards square shape and it sits in your arms really nicely. I am not much of a watch enthusiast but I have read more about watches in the last 1 year than about anything else. As much as I am not well versed in their terms, I think my knowledge on their movement and the material build is okay. Besides, I am reviewing this as casual as it can be (trust me, reading up on the DETAILED  watch reviews is going to give you a headache because of the terms they use) Therefore, my job to you is not talk about all the boring terms in watch. I will review more about the design, practical usage & durability and cons for daily use.  DESIGN What attracts me the most is
