A Night at the Movies

As you may have guessed, I went to the movies within the time of this post and the previous. Yes, I went to see a nicely made, cheese, ROFL movie called "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island".

This is a movie for you si-fi lovers, as well as you Jules Verne lovers. I am one myself, a fan of 20,000 Leauges Under the Sea,  Journey to the Center of the Earth, and any other works of his (which I have of yet to read). Now you must be thinking... "But what about the 3D event of Star Wars? That's worth talking about!" Yes, I will agree with you. Star Wars is amazing. I just don't see why going to an Imax theater is better than being home with your family and friends, watching it on your own television with quick access to that barbecue your parents, or yourself, made. Nothing beats a horde of die-hard Star Wars fans vegging out at home, cosplaying their favorite characters without the weird looks. Of course, if you go to the theater, you can have one heck of a time just as much. But even then I fail to see how this stirs up such devotion in fans... o.O

Oh well. We all have our things we rave about. :)

Anyways, the movie itself was funny, cheesy, and overly convient for the characters. The animation was good in my opinion, but I'm not much for looking closely for mistakes of things out of the ordinary. It actually begins where the most recent version of Journey to the Center of the Earth leaves off so that was rather interesting. I'd say its a movie that you want to go with your friends once, and maybe get it on DVD, or Blue-Ray if you have the right player. It really depends if you like the book and if your a fan of cheesy si-fi movies. The characters were more appealing to me than the last movie, which falls out of the trend of the first movie being the best and the next ones descending in epicness. That's my opinion anyway. I don't want to give away anything that I already have for the sake of spoilers so I refuse to tell more upon the subject, unless you request it. I do suggest you read Verne's books though. It helps. A LOT.

I also wish to brighten up today's post with a photoshop project that me and a friend of mine collabed on. He did most of the work though. Enjoy! We got the brushes for the effects off a photoshop freebie website. I forgot to bookmark the page so I can't share it... But I did find a website just as good. It's called brushezzy.com.


See ya all later!
