My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy spend our extended pre-holidays session for yet another movie and today we watch this movie at GSC Tropicana City Mall. This movie is called the Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. This movie features the apes and human kind where both are struggling to maintain the good relationships in between and then it has become a war and an even bigger war in future. The apes blamed the human kind where they were then being experimented and the apes suffered from it. Meanwhile the apes would wanted to seek revenge and then to do the same to human kind. With this it would spark a cold war between the apes and humans. The storyline is easy to understand and at times it was quite boring until the action appears. The casts meanwhile are just average except Andy Serkis who is quite a famous actor. 

 

I would say this movie gives its audiences a lot of grieves and of course you need to prepare tissue papers. There are a lot of sad and touching moments that you can see especially the apes and when the apes reacted with human kind as well. It was a good balanced movie between love, fight and sorrow and it was watchable at the end of 130 minutes. Kids will love this but still it's under parental guidance as well. I would recommend you to watch this movie although it's little boring at times but the movie still manage to live up the expectations with some real battle between the apes and human kind. Enjoy the movie. MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

My Comments: Finally the long awaited Transformers movie are in town once again and this time we have chosen GSC Tropicana City Mall as our destination to catch Transformers movie. This is the 4th installment where the previous installment was just fine and nothing so special about it except it's action packed. This time around Age Of Extinction is the 4th installment episode and will it be the same as the 3rd or better?  Is Micheal Bay running out of ideas or he manage to create something special on the 4th installment? Let's see.

The answer is almost the same. This movie is action packed and it's rich in robots fighting between the Autobots and Decepticons. The storyline meanwhile is a bit crappy and it's not so attractive as per 3rd installment. If you watch in 3D then this is definitely the movie for you as it contains a lot of close ups scenes that would blown your mind off. The Autobots and Decepticons are all vanished from the scenes until scientist start studying the making of them to rule the world. But then the scientist made a mistake and then everything turned into a chaos where the Autobots have to revive and then to save human kind again. The battle between Autobots and Decepticons continues and it was an explosive approximately 2 hours plus of action packed scenes and you will simply love it too. Will Decepticons defeated and continue to the next installment? You must checked it out at cinemas near you. I would still recommend you to watch this movie with your whole family and kids would love this one but the storyline is a bit difficult for them to understand. Overall I would say not the best but still good. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
