The Martian: Review Kecil

Terpuaskan sudah keingintahuan dan rasa penasaranku dengan film yang dibintangi Matt Damon sebagai Mark Watney--seorang astronot yang harus berjuang hidup sendiri  di Planet Merah setelah dianggap tewas dalam misi di planet Mars. Kisahnya sangat sederhana dan bisa dianggap linear bahkan sudah bisa menebak akhir kisahnya, namun film sains fiksi (yang bobot sainsnya lebih berat tinimbang fiksinya!!!) ini tetap memikat dan memukau. Saya tak bisa bilang apakah karena memang novel asli karya Andy Weir memang dari sononya sudah hebat, ataukah penulis skrip film ini *hiks entah siapa* jauh lebih hebat lagi, ataukah karena sang sutradara~Ridley Scott~yg terkenal mementingkan detil di balik film ini, ataukah karena efek spesialnya. Hmmm, semuanya punya andil. Namun, saya melihat bahwa "The Martian" tidak akan enak dinikmati jika Matt Damon tak bisa menarik.simpati dan empati penonton. Bagaimana tidak. Bayangkan, dia harus memerankan tokoh yang terdampar sendirian di planet jutaan kilometer jaraknya dari bumi! Untung saja, cara dia berekspresi, bernarasi, bercanda dalam membawakan kisah Mark Watney ini sungguh sederhana dan lugas. Dia Matt/Mark sangat lovable sebagai ahli botani yang seharusnya 'gila' secara psikologis karena harus menghadapi cobaan yang tak terbayangkan. Untunglah, gaya dia berlakon pun sangat meyakinkan. Vlog vlog yang dia buat sebagai cara berkomunikasi pun penuh dengan.nuansa haru, sedih, ceria, dan nakal. Ya, Mark Watney adalah sosok astronot yang pantas terpilih utk misi Mars. Daaaaaannnnn....Matt Damon pas sekali membawakannya sebagai sosok yang "believable".
Tak rugi kurogoh 16.000 won untuk menikmati petualangan menegangkan, penuh pembelajaran, namun simpel ini. Dengan IMAX plus 3D, semuanya semakin terasa megah, namun lagi-lagi penuh kesederhanaan~terutama dari segi penceritaan.
Sempat terpikir, jika saja Mark Watney benar-benar meninggal, maka semuanya akan mudah. Titik. Rekan kru yang menganggap dia meninggal, akan bisa dengan tenang kembali ke bumi. Para pegawai dan jajaran orang penting di NASA tak akan kelimpungan. Semua akan biasa. Namun, dengan tetap bertahannya Mark di Planet Merah selama berbulan-bulan sertamerta menelurkan sosok-sosok kreatif dan cerdas dan bertanggung jawab dalam menghadapi masalah.
Yang unik dalam film.ini adalah bahwa watak orang atau karakter yang dimunculkan bukan putih dan hitam, tak ada protagonis dan antagonis yang sudah terlalu biasa dalam sebuah film. Namun, semuanya wajar....ya ...seperti hidup kita bila kita melihat dari permukaan. Hmmm...mungkin karena....yg penting dalam film ini adalah bagaimana umat manusia punya insting bersatu menyelamatkan manusia lain dalam musibah. Musibah apa? Lagi-lagi inilah yg bikin saya salut menikmati film ini dengan kusyuk: tak lain karena "benang merah" film ini adalah "gimana bawa si Mark balik bumi"! Titik! 
Saya terharu dan dengan deg-degan...regang tangan....dan tahan nafas....ikut....serasa ikut dalam petualangan Matt Watney ini.

BIG Hero 6: Baymax!

just watched the premiere of Disney's BIG Hero on IMAX 3D in Korea. Yup, as I observed, Korea deliberately screened animation movie wayyyyy lateeeerrrrr than other countries. Even back home, my friends in Indonesia watched this movie ....in Nov. Last year^^ 
But....better late than never.
so...after watching, we went out of the theater and found ourselves in a gallery of big-sized life-like posters displaying the movies.
oh...there's one ajumma who helped clean the theater clean. Thank you, dearest ajumma. 
At the gallery hall, we bumped into the most lovable and almost-huggable hero...BAYMAX.
Without further ado...each of us started to take a picture with him.
Yep...he's sure BIG.
Even for the kids' mom, too. 
huge tummy, and...most of all...a well-rounded character that kids love.
This has been a great time.

A Seamlessly Crafted 'Gravity'

After two days of cramming into the overloaded work and assignment, I got to make sure that I was 'in' the premiere of the much-talked about Alfonzo Cuaron's Gravity.
I just came back from the IMAX 3D...feeling numb, dizzy, bedazzled, and stupefied.
well, yes..that's exactly what I was feeling and still having those feeling a little bit at the moment as of I am writing this.
In fact, this is what happened:
it's so intensely distressing that I squirmed and kicked the seat in front of me (twice)!!!
Gravity is, well, not like what I thought before. I saw the trailer, of course. and it turned out that the trailer only gives us a glimpse of what it DID happen in the movie.
Glad to have decided to watch it in IMAX 3D. The sinking feeling of being sucked into the dark space with the blue mother earth underneath or over(?) us was really mind-boggling.
Yup, I think I got to agree to some reviews which stated that 'Gravity' is like Discovery Channel's Space Adventure WITH a disaster.

But, it turned out...the movie is not about disaster, not about astronauts, not about space, not about the satellite debris that initiated all hell broke loose, no...it's simply about the very basic feeling of human's fear in the face of and during coming to terms with danger (or death, for some reason).
What and how would we feel if we know that we're in the grave danger of facing death....out in space...
well, metaphorically speaking, I think --and I am sure most of the audience--would agree....that despite the fact that the backdrop of the movie IS, in fact, in space...it actually LIES within our heart.
I cannot help but thinking to myself...that yes...life is worth-living no matter what.
It's the simplest feeling that makes us 'human'
Gosh...do I wanna watch it again? yes...but not necessarily in IMAX.
Maybe a digital cineplex would be just fine..well...IMAX would definitely a MUST-GO place to experience what Alfonzo Cuaron has brought us.
This is by far the best 'survival' movie I've seen.
It happens in our lifetime. right now. not in the far-far-away land or centuries in the future..
nope...it IS about us....through the lenses of Sandra Bullock's Ryan Stone and George Clooney. Well ..those two actors are truly amazing in capturing the imaginative vision of Cuaron.
What a wonderful experience indeed it was.
Watched in in IMA--> and it was surely worth every WON of it. ^^

Friday's Happy-O'lic

First thing first...It's Friday. The first Friday in the series of the coming Summer vacation. 
Took the kids to school. Then..off I went to campus to return a bunch of books I borrowed this semester. Then...off I went to the computer room....only to find that the room was being renovated:( sigh*** then..off I went to the barber (wait it's not barber)...it's a miyongsil or salon....where I usually have my hair trimmed (hair??)..like I have any. ..anyway..only to find that it's still closed. I came too early. 
Couldn't wait coz I got lunch appointment with my office colleagues at Youido's Seven Spring buffet restaurant (my fave).
Still got 30 minutes or so before lunch time...so off I went to IFC Mall to find some morning eye-shopping @ Uniqlo only to find the striped shirt I was falling in love with. 
Then...got one-hour buffet lunch to fill up my senses and appetite of everything a vegetarian like me ever wanted.
the only pic I took of the so many arrays of food I chomped into my tummy.^^
Got a great lunch, though. Thank you for ms. Kim Mino who treated us for the lovely lunch.
** Then...Friday Prayer ** at 13.00 until 14.00 at Itaewon Masjid. (nothing special...apart from the fact that it was crowded as usual...plus the blistering heat of the summer. I couldn't get into the inner circle coz I came late ...
anyhow..I did my Friday prayer hassle-free.
---
Then..off I went to Jurassic Park.
Yes...It's a last minute decision to transport myself back to 65 million years ago...
where Dinosaurs ruled the earth.
Jurrasic Park on IMAX 3D.
"indeed..it was a new and refreshing way of looking back into the 1993's mind-blowing movie: it's the intricate details and suspense that kept me glued and admire the 90's legacy of movie magic".

and..now..it's 7.45 pm...at home..jotting down this entry.
What a Friday...alhamdulillah.
