Contact

As I become older, more mature with society, almost everyday I am amazed about our life on this galaxy and I always ask myself could their really be more life forms somewhere out there. This movie made me believe it even more. Although I had no idea what mumbo jumbo Jodie Foster was talking about with her astronautical terms, I was still excited to see what was going to happen when she would come in contact with a outside life form.
I was confused when Matthew McConaughey asked Jodie if she believed in God. It makes more sense to me that they send someone to meet the others with someone who didn't have beliefs so they could understand the people of our planet. I won't put in my personal beliefs, but I just wanted to state an opinion.

I Am Legend

This is the other movie that our group decided to do a project on. Since both movies were based on the same book, this movie also had the same plot as "The Omega Man," except the zombies could not talk (which made me a little upset). This version was very depressing because Neville had a family and they died in a helicopter accident, what a terrible way to die. But Neville decides to stay and help survivors of the disease even though he is the only person in New York. I like this movie a little bit more because there wasn't a mixed media of ideals oh humans and zombies like in the other movie.
Will Smith makes this movie worth watching. Compared to "The Omega Man," this guy can actually ACT. The movie wasn't as funny as Omega, but it was still very enjoyable because of the special effects of the zombies and what New York would look like if it was abandoned. It was really well done.

Ender's Game (end)

I wish this book was a movie, but then again it would be a really long movie that would eventually not make sense. I liked the novel in the beginning because it reminded me a lot of the Harry Potter. The adventures in the battleroom. the administrator's techniques for Ender, and Ender's emotions wanted me to read a lot more.....for a while. Once Ender was transferred into Command school, I was lost.
The Demosthenes and Locke bothered me because Valentine kept complaining about her character and her hate for Peter when she could've just said no to him. The ansible confused me. I knew what it meant, but I didn't understand why they were mentioning it so much. I also couldn't understand the simulations at the Command school. If the simulations were real, how could they move without feeling anything. Or were they moving? I don't know.

The Omega Man

(Austin Powers' stunt double)

This movie was one of the two project on. The first movie we saw was "The Omega Man." This movie was about Dr. Neville, who found the cure for this 'zombie-like' disease that spread like wild fire. It eventually took over the human race and the cure wasn't able to reach anybody because Neville became the "last man on Earth". Neville didn't get the disease because he shot himself up with the vaccine and survived. He later on found other survivors who had successfully ran away from it all but they still needed the cure. Neville gave it to them by drawing his blood but sadly died from trying to fight off the zombie people.

This movie was terrible/weird. It is more interesting than "I Am Legend" only because there was some funny dialogue. Neville talks to himself way too much. It is understandable that you would go a little bit crazy if you had no one to talk to, but his crazy is something you would find in, "Acting for Dumbies." It was a good laugh though.
