Went to watch Angels & Demons today with my sister after roaming around in Tampines with her. It was the only option left as I don't want to watch some movies about noodle girl, Gu Gu the animal, or another retarded age-defying lame flick. I was skeptical about this movie initially, I even thought it was a cheesy thing to watch a movie adaptation of a novel.
Considering that I have never read the book before, or any of Dan Brown's works, I am a true idiot about the story. I entered the cinema having no idea at all of what I am getting.
The movie lost me in the beginning, as everything happened quite fast, and the scenes jumped incoherently. I see a group of experimentalists in a laboratory, and next, I see Tom Hanks and his receding hair line and being half-naked in a swimming pool. Then the lines went from English to Italian, leaving me all confused.
BUT, the storyline is actually quite exciting and engaging, revolving around the all so familiar GP topic, God VS Science. AHA! A topic much debated about. That's when I got back to track.
However, why didn't the producers explain or at least put more emphasis on the ambigrams? Aren't the ambigrams the essence of the whole story???
Not only that, the movie is also heavily edited. It has been cut short so much that I get scenes that appear almost abruptly. I want more, more, more!
Not complaining, just hoping that it could be better. (Really can't complain when tix only cost me $6)
It's good, go watch it.
Skeptics and haters, give this movie a chance, like how I've did. You won't be short-changed.
And surprisingly, I didn't fall asleep.
