47 Meters Down - Another Movie of Survival from Sharks

During the week with no major Hollywood movie released in Indonesia, a movie about sharks would definitely be an interesting choice to see. It premiered on a Thursday which was kind of odd, but due to my feeling tired on that day, plus the fact that my wife also had an event she attended till night, we only watched this one yesterday night. Even that was also a bit worrying since after the tickets were bought, I was informed of a meeting which may end till evening. But luckily it finished earlier and I was able to reach the location at 6.30PM while the show was at 7.15PM.

Brief Story Line

Two sisters from US, Lisa (Mandy Moore - A Walk to Remember, Tangled etc) and her younger sister Kate (Claire Holt - The Vampire Diaries & The Originals TV series) were taking a vacation in Mexico. Kate who was much more adventurous was trying to get Lisa off her mind from her relationship with her boyfriend Stuart. So both of them met with two Mexican guys in a club named Louis (Yani Gellman) who seemed to be interested in Lisa, and Benjamin (Santiago Segura). Both of them challenged the ladies to try a dangerous exciting experience of diving in a cage with sharks circling them.

KONG: Skull Island - Reboot of One of the Most Iconic Monster of All Time

This is another film that has caught our attention for the past month or so. It was telling the story of one of the most iconic monster for many decades, i.e King Kong. In addition, the trailer to the movie that has been playing for many weeks added an element of excitement and buzz which made my wife and I very enthusiastic to watch it. Which is why when the movie premiered yesterday, my wife had immediately bought the tickets in the morning via online. It was actually the first time we used online mode to buy tickets to a movie. A little bit late, right? But better late than never. Anyway, we shall start with the movie now.

Brief Story Line

It was 1973 when the US government had just stopped the Vietnam war and decided to pull out all their armies from Vietnam back to the US. Randa (John Goodman - 10 Cloverfield Lane, Patriots Day etc) an agent of Monarch which was a secret government body, and his colleague Brooks (Corey Hawkins - Straight Outta Compton, 24: Legacy TV series etc) who was a geologist, were able to convince the senator to have an expedition in a new found island in the Pacific ocean. The island was called Skull Island and was hidden all this time due to heavy rain and storm surrounding it.
