Hello guys!
How are you doing lately?
Well, I want to talk about the latest movie that I've seen: Passengers.

WARNING: This review will contain some spoilers. Please keep that in mind and if you want to, keep on reading!
Plot:

"The starship Avalon is transporting over 5,000 colonists and crew in hibernation pods to the planet Homestead II, a journey that takes 120 years. Thirty years into its journey, the ship encounters an asteroid belt, in which it collides with a large asteroid. As a result of the collision, the ship's protective energy shield is weakened enough to allow a piece of it to pass through the shield, impacting the ship. This causes a malfunction that awakens one passenger, mechanical engineer Jim Preston (Chris Pratt), 90 years too early.

After a year of isolation, with no company except Arthur (Michael Sheen), an android bartender, Jim contemplates suicide. One day he notices beautiful Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) in her pod. Her video profile reveals she is a writer with a humorous personality."

The concept of the movie is genious. This movie reminds me of "Cast Away", "Gravity" and even "The Martian". Although this is definitely not emotionally deep, "Passengers" is a pretty good movie to watch with your family, or your significant other.

You might think that being trapped in space for so long will be horrible, and that life will be so boring, right?
Well, no. You have plenty of activities to do: movies, video games, computer dance-offs, a fully stocked bar, complete with an android bartender that totally reminds me of the bartender in "The Shining."


After a year, Jim (the main character) becomes desperate after realizing his life is ruined. He can't get back to sleep, he's all alone with an android and his messages to earth will only be received in more than 20 years. What would you do in this situation? Probably consider suicide in first hand.

A year passes and Jim finds Aurora: a young journalist, sleeping for a few years now.
Well, at this point, without knowing what happens next, you probably think that he will do the worst thing ever: awake her.
After this moment, the movie is not that bad. They fall in love, they live a beautiful moment and the chemistry between Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt is indeed, fantastic.
What Jim did was an act of desperation and selfishness. But keep in mind that this movie is not a romantic-comedy. It's complex because it deals with a big dilemma: egoism in the human race.
Jim pays (in a way) for what he did, but in my heart I am a little bit divided because I don't know what to think about the turn of events this movie had in the end.
I'm not going to spoil the end for you, but even today I don't really know what to think about it.
But I liked the concept of the movie, and the actors where amazing, like always.

Do I recommend it? Yes, I do.
It's not bad at all. Just give it a try and please tell me in the comments bellow if you agree with my review or not!

Have a great day and I'll see you on my next post!

XO,

Anime Review - Blood C

"I make my own decisions, and see them to the very end. I had to find my resolve, so I could remain true to myself." Hello everyone! Today I bring you another anime that I've seen a few years ago. So, this series has 12 episodes with 23 minutes each and its recommended to mature audience only because it has nudity and violence. So, let's start this! Plot:  Saya is a happy girl during the day that loves to sing and spend some time with her father. She is also a student that has a normal life. During night, she is the rural town protector that owns a holly sword to slay the Ancient Ones that hunt, stalk and try to catch human prays. Artwork : This series has some great detail and the way the characters are represented are also very well made. The death scenes are brutal and very grafic, but in a general way, it is a good graphic anime.  I love the colors, the ambiance and the music involved in it. Music: The O

Why I've been gone

Hello guys, long time no see! I feel like I've been gone for at least a decade and I apologize. I've been thinking about coming back and do an update of the content and the design of the blog. I don't have much time at the moment due to work and life in general, but I want to do this. I still haven't figured what I want to write about, for the moment. I still love anime and movies, of course, but I don't want to feel trapped in a specific theme. I have evolved as a person and I believe you did too. That's why I feel that I can change a bit my topics and adapt them to my current day-to-day life. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment or send me an email and I'll take them into consideration. I love to talk to you and it really make s me happy every time I receive some feedback from you. You can keep up with me through my social media. All the links are listed at the top of the page! Thank you so much
