Last night, saw the premier of 'I Am Legend', courtesy of my wonderful and beautiful sister-in-law (I hope she's reading this, and planning to give me those premier movie passes to AVP2. Hahaha). My sister in law gave me two tickets, and I took my best buddy with me, since my beloved is not the movie going type, and she hates horror movies. Besides us, there were my brother and sister in law, my brother's in-laws, and his buddies from school.
The movie was quite good, actually. It evokes two main emotions in the viewers' heart almost throughout the movie.
At times, it can be quite frightening, two examples would be when he was curled up in his tub with Sam, his dog, and in the background were these horrifying howling and screaming coming from outside his house. The second one would be when he stumbled into their hive and they were all standing in a circle, breathing heavily. Who 'they' are, you have to see the movie to find out.
And at times, it can be quite sad. One example would be when he had to leave his wife and daughter on the helicopter, sort of knowing he might not see them again, but trying to brave it out by smiling at them. And the other one would be when he actually spoke to a mannequin and pleaded to the mannequin to answer him.
All in all, it was a good movie, but for one thing. To me, the 'them' or 'the Darkseekers' should be more realistic. I think that was the only flaw of the movie.
Saw some previews of upcoming movies. 'Aliens Versus Predator 2' looks excellent. Johnny Depp has a new movie coming out, Sweeney something something. The movie looks weird, which is almost always the case for Mr Depp.
I almost forgot to mention that we had to leave our handphones at the counter. This is so that we don't record the movie. So I had to leave my handphone and the headset, can you believe that. But we got it back after the movie, so it was ok. All in all, it was a fun guy's night out for me. Thanks for accompanying me, best buddy. :)
