Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Tron 3

Since the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of TRON: Legacy have been big time sellers recently it seems like the future is secure for another sequel. TRON 3, 3-D version that continues on with the story line that began back in 1982, keeps the futuristic concept going while including more of the beautiful Olivia Wilde as the character known as Quorra. That persona was way underused according to many critics in the TRON: Legacy film and needed to be emphasized more. Wilde has become known for her "vamp" style roles, making her Quorra so low key she seemed to sleep through much of the movie and that needs to be livened up a bit.eff Bridges character met his demise in the Legacy film but who knows when he may reappear reincarnated or retrofitted. With emphasis placed on the characters in the story, the movie seemed to work best and that means Bridges needs to be there in some form or another. 3-D will add some visual appeal to the movie but even the original 1982 release had plenty to offer those interested in the visual "lightshow" effect presented in good sci-fi filming.

It has been scary enough to hear of UFO sightings around the globe. Places like China, Germany, France, and even Buenos Aires have all reported evidence that some form of unidentified objects have been seen flying about. In Battle: Los Angeles we find some of these sightings have been documented by trustworthy and qualified people while others are merely random visions offered by "questionable" sources. However now they are beginning to be reported in the U.S. and particularly in the Los Angeles area. This becomes terrifying when the Earth is attacked by forces that are unknown and often unseen. In 2011 the fictional fantasy plays against reality and when LA becomes mankind's last chance to take a stand against alien forces we see a Marine sergeant (played by Aaron Eckhart) leading a platoon and taking on an enemy more powerful and threatening than they have ever been forced to encounter. As large cities fall to the enemy around the world how can a small band of U.S. Marines prevail? Battle: Los Angeles the movie gives UFO sightings an entirely new slant.

Star Trek is a devilishly vigorous, beautiful and sometimes even enchanting movie. The action runs so fast that it sometimes seems: there was some fiddling with the space-time continuum. The magnificent scenes like a desperate ram by Kelvin of the more powerful opponent, a trio landing near a penetrating the Planet energy borax, the emerges from a warp jump, blazing with all guns Enterprise will stick in the memory for a long time. Add to this the excellent casting, which, coupled with some rethinking of the character hits the bull's-eye thing.
