I said it before and I will say it again: It is great to have a good cinema this close by. When there is new movie that I want to see, it is no problem at all. 10 to 15 minutes on my bicycle. And if the weather is really bad, the railroad station is there around the corner.
Yesterday I went there to see the movie Battleship.
The review I have read about this movie are not very positive and yes, in this case it means again I really liked the movie. It must be the genre that those reviewers don’t like.
Anyway, the story-line is simple: Boy falls in love with girl. Bad forces arise. Boy defeats bad forces, save the world and gets the girls. And no, there is nothing wrong with that story-line. Specially not when it all is placed in an scenery of wonderful graphics and special effects.
And special effects there are. Many and of perfect quality. Already one of the reason to go and see this movie. It shows clearly the people who made the special effects for the Transformer-movies are also behind this movie.
Of course the appearance of Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna (although you see here only military uniforms).
A movie without something laugh about is mostly (note the word “mostly”) for me a failed movie. But luckily between all the fighting and explosions there enough room for humor, which is very good in my opinion.
The movie is well worth to go and see in my opinion. But you have to like the genre…
And yes, if I really want to see a movie, I don’t mind to go alone. As many will know, Marion is not always around. And although she likes this kind of movies, she is not always in the mood to go to a cinema. Which is okay btw. But that means if I really want see a certain movie on “the big screen”, I have to go alone at time if no one else wants to come along. No problem at all. A bottle of beer, some popcorn and I will enjoy the movie.
And no, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like nice company when going to watch a movie!
