Best post-apocalypsis movie of the year.

last year , i went to the comic-con, with the chance to meet, and greed. To the man that is know for director of the dog soldier and the descent. but knowing fate had different plan. The ticket were sold out. So the only chance that went away, i never get the opportunity to see, him. But doesn't mean i cant see he's most recently film. is it good or is just that good. Here my review:

On April 08 of 2008, a virus was discover, contaminating all of scotland, that have to declare Marshall law, in time wiping most of the north of England. Quarantine was made, and to stop it, walls was build all around of the country. With mine and automatic search machine guns, killing everything in sight, and no flight zone. 35 year have past, and England is in the ruin, unemployment have rise, most country have ignore their help, and a state of totalitarian, have been reigning. But thing have gotten worse when the virus appear again, so to resolve the problem, knowing they haven't know or heard of Scotland, or like they call it the hot zone, their survivors, there's a cure. so know they prepare a team led by the eye patch who use it for a camera Major Sinclair(Rhona Mintra) to recover it, before 48hrs. Entering a world without justice, moral, unity. No backup, and find your own way out. Welcome to the end of the wold, in Doomsday.

so let me begin with the characters:

First less start with Rhona Mintra character, now she real star of the movie, giving the anti-hero attitude, but the captain that take anything to serious, and have camera of eye. She very well be the daughter of the of snake plissken.

Now the villain of sol play by Graig Conway, is the most brutal character, i have seen so far in a Neil Marshall, with the sarcasm he give, it remind me of the hockey wearing mask of road warrior that needed. I mean who in he right mind would drive he car with he's beheaded girlfriend, is beyond disturb, is beyond disgusting, is something new. And knit

Bob hopkins is the main best friend of our heroin, with hes feet on the situation, and always been ask for a smoke. Is the best friend that anyone need.

Malcom McDowell is the la creme of them all playing, as the doctor, turn into dictator, is where the acting is at. Just letting the movie been narrated by him, set the dark tone, that the film have. Give more narrative job to this man. Hes great.

Now the action, yeah that's where the gold is, following he love to late 70's and 80's film. There's no comparison for this film. I wont say their name, but it show the love that Marshall have, from the first encounting of the marauders that survive the virus, it show that someone have been playing to much counter strike. The action don't stop, until the tank start moving(another scene seen in a movie), the wild ride in the elevator that can't be shown in a movie call demolition man. To the cooking scene, that something that only ely roth could made, but gets marshall did first. The body seem more chicken meat, than the cow one, made with some soft foam(i think) give the reality of cooking a person. But the best is the arena fight, when Mintra go up against a full armor knight, that is well choreograph, that will say it, that is even better than the troll fight of the 1st LOTR. I know is absurd but is truth. Just watch it that something that a girl can do. And to end it the best car chase fight scene, where the real fun of the film is. It have took the camera team days to shoot it, some thing that remind of another post apocalyptic film which i wont mention, good. That the fast and furious will never do.

this is by far the best homages to those movie, that only the twisted mind of Neil Marshall do. The movie will not please most audiences, and will be bomb by critic, by for those who remember, the post apocalyptic film, will love this, with the brutality, and entertaining that it is. Is one step showing that this director can mix action with horror. That only John Carpenter(he even a character have that last name) could make.

The movie, have gore like any other, but when it come of showing it. This director can do. Lest just hope that the movie doesn't fall to the bad heroin curse, that have happen to film like barb wire to catwoman. So to close, hey Marshall if ye read this, if you have plan to continuing the adventure of major Sinclair, let me write a comic about it, please. cause i need a gig like that show that there's more of a woman, than spending a night with her and watching the home shop network. Is horrible, horrible.

this is the ice age, but it wasn't made by fox.

There been movies, that have epic in their resume it, from Cleopatra, to Ben hurt there few, that take place in the stone ages, Like the quest for fire. But

for Roland Emmerish, is he job, from the interplanetary Stargate, to the sci-fi invasion Indiependence Day. Now 10,000 BC, live up to the name? Calling it epic. Heres my review:

In a age where man live in tribe, where the man become the hunter, and the woman raise their young en, they hunt the mighty Mannak(Mammoths), for food, that could last them a whole season. But there the witch of the village, tell a story where they where gonna be invaded, by monster, burning and taken some to be slaves, that the chosen one will come, to free their people, and rescue the girl that he love. And become the new leader, that we guide them to new world. So when that happen, D' leh(Steven Strait) is of to adventure, where he travel snow, jungle, attack by carnivore birds, face a sabertooth, and reunited a country to take down, a empire, and taking them to a city they call The mountain of the gods. To rescue his beloved Evolet(Camilla Belle). And adventure that determined a man to go out, and fight for what is worth. Or something like that.

Call it a apocalypto, or a scorpion king rip off. But there so much i can tell ya about this film Lets get to good thing. Like any Roland film what count more is the fx, always, from the blasting of id4 to the rampaging of the awful remake of Godzilla. On this one, is pretty impressive, in the case of the hunt of the Mannaks(Mammoths), going to great link to make them real, from the hair to their tusk, that really show lots advance. The Birds, for which i call them raptors , look more big giant turkeys, with a eagle head, or great, great relatives to the ostrich. that gave more of the suspense to the film. But what is the creme of the creme, is when they arrive to the mountain of the gods, that actually is Cairo, but impressive shots of what for me is the miniature, of the pyramids, that they even show the sphinx, with good lightning, texture. and like any epic battle , yes theirs and army running to battle, same way that peter jackson did, in theLOR, to Wolfgang did in Troy. That was short, not longer like the others.

Now the bad news, there weren't any actual acting, most of what Steven Trait did, just whining how desperate he is to rescue Evolet, but not even Camilla didn't talk, in the movie, just been, cliched moment the damsel in distress. Now the common language, well they split on this one, in the good side they spoke in common English, that really for me is a case of lost in translation, but on the bad guys side more to the language they use on those time. You have to admire Mel films from the passion to the he last one Apocalypto, that have the real language they use in those ages. But here is more confusion than understanding a foreigner driving a Taxi. Now the case, of the Mountain of the gods, or just Cairo, let ya wonder weren't that Egypt tha build them, but of course, there's a fact, the it wasn't them, but other, i better read my history text. But hey there also the case, to who is the the one they call the god and, the surprise i had, when was reveal who was he or she, i wont spoil it fer ya.

The story kind of of another film that, have the epic on the mark, the native vs viking film call Pathfinder. That really when with that, of the chosen that was gonna go and saving hes people, etc, etc. To even the prophecy that hunter receive, in Apocalyp, on how their life was gonna end. I mean it was great they went to that direction, but that doesn't mean that every epic movie have to have it. So there surprise for me.

For the best movie that define the word epic, was last year Zach 300, always. But the 10,000BC doesn't show to much on the story side but the age, on how it was back on those days. What truly made the film, but hey it does entertain, just something to wet our appetite, for the real epic movies, they're coming in summer. So for Roland, well ain't a Godzilla sequel. But is better he make the stargate films.

Next stop, Doomsday.
