Out of 5 star rating, I would rate this movie 3. The overall plot for this movie is above average expect for the ending where I kinda of feel that it is a rather disappointing ending. Why on earth would alien come to pick up 2 children to go to a nice beautiful planet with a huge golden tree. Seriously, this ending straight away reminds me of the the beginning of adam and eve story in the bible where Adam and Eve live in a garden of paradise where a tree of knowledge there in the middle of everything. Furthermore, if anyone is look for a happy ending movie. Don't watch this movie, either, because everyone single living creatures on earth just died from the horrible horrible supernova. This again brought my attention to the bible again where it noted in it that we, humans, will not be wiped from a flood disaster, but rather from fire. I would have to comment the producer that the movie concept of the human race being wipe from fire (the supernova from the sun) was really good. But the best scenes in the movie, I would give it the part where the train crash in the subway and the part whereby the plane came crashing down beside the highway. I would say it gave me quite a good shocked. I mean: wow, who would have though that the main character would be staying there, witnessing the whole event and even alive from all these predicted futures. In summery, I would say I like the movie. But it would be better, if they could change the ending. I am not really looking at a nice perfect good ending. But rather, if they wish to end the movie with the children going to paradise, I would rather the movie end with cage dying together with his family embracing together.

Earth Hour Singapore

After posting an entry to signify the importance of saving our Mother Earth, I happen to surf around and found that Singapore actually tried to do their part in promoting awareness during Earth Hour. I am both surprise and trill by the fact that Singaporeans have slowly emerged in playing a part to show the world that we do care for our planet Earth.

However, there are some pictures that do disappoint me. For example the events that is going on Esplanade. It is suppose to be Earth Hours, we are trying to cut down on the amount of electricity used. But, there is an concert going on in Esplanade!? I can't believe my eyes when I saw those pictures. Furthermore, I came across this video whereby Singapore try to light an array of candles to show that Singapore care for th earth. The thought is sweet, BUT look at the amount of trash they made. If one observe carefullly, you can see that the wax are dripping all over the floor in the middle fo the road. The next thing you know, after the event, the cleaners are going to have a hard time clean up the place especially it is in a middle of the cycling track. Earth hour is to conserve engery and reduce all types of trash to help save our mother Earth. All this actions seems to me like people are more enjoying because of the events rather than saving Earth.

Unbelieveable !!
