(2026) Hope - Awesome Sci-fi Action Movie with Plenty of Thrilling Moments & Desperately Needing a Sequel

For our second movie of the day, we opted to see this one that was released during our holiday trip since two weeks ago. As I was worried it would be gone soon from Indonesian cinemas, we arranged going to the cinema where it also played this film along with the one we saw before. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

In a small harbor village called Hope, the local Chief of Police Ko Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min - I, The Executioner, The Spy Gone North etc) was surprised when being informed by his cousin Ko Sung-ki (Zo In-sung - HumintSmugglers etc) on the finding of dead cow seemingly attacked by vicious animal. As Sung-ki and his hunter friends tried to look for the thing that killed the cow, Bum-seok somehow found something attacking and killing the villagers.

(2026) Resident Evil - The Well Received Reboot of Highly Popular Video Game Franchise Adaptation

Yesterday I finally got chance to see movies in the cinemas with my wife. There were so many that we have not seen since our holiday trip 2 weeks ago, but as our time was limited, we had no choice but to select two of them. We were tempted to see another one after seeing them, however we felt tired and decided against it. Anyway, let's get on with the first one.

Brief Story Line

On a busy snowy night, Bryan (Austin Abrams - WolfsScary Stories to Tell in the Dark etc) who worked a medical courier decided to accept a special assignment to deliver package to Raccoon city hospital for extra fee, even though he was supposed to return home after his latest task.

(2026) Mayday - A Delightful Action Comedy with Great Humor and Nice Enough Action

Yesterday due to unforeseen circumstances, my wife and I were unable to see any movies in the cinema. Hence I decided to search for something on streaming service. Then I remembered about this movie that was released on Apple TV on the first day of our holiday trip 2 weeks ago that sounded interesting. So I immediately gave it a try. All right then, why don't I get on with the movie now.

Brief Story Line

Set in 1987 during the cold war between the US and Soviet Union, Troy Kelly aka Assassin (Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool & WolverineFree Guy etc) was an experienced US Navy pilot who was assigned to do a recon mission over Russia. Unfortunately the mission went wrong and his plane crasehd on Russian soil. Fortunately he was rescued by a Russian man named Nikolai "Nick" Ustinov (Kenneth Branagh - A Haunting in Venice, Henry V etc) who was living by himself.
