The Impossible (2012)
Original title: Lo imposible
PG-13 | 1h 54m

The story of a tourist family in Thailand caught in the destruction and chaotic aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

I stumbled upon this while searching for movies; it was showing on TAG TV. It starred a teenage Tom Holland, who recently portrayed Spider-Man in the latest reboot. The tsunami scenes felt incredibly realistic, and it really captured the chaos and devastation of that day. The performances, especially by Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor, were powerful and emotional, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of disaster. Overall, The Impossible is a gripping portrayal of survival and hope that left a lasting impression on me.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
PG-13 | 2h 16min

Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.

As my RD for this week comes to an end, I treated myself to a POTC marathon after watching "Transformers: The Last Knight" earlier. 

It's intriguing to witness a different take on mermaids in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, as I was more accustomed to the Ariel-type mermaid portrayal :P. The concept of the Fountain of Youth got me wondering – does it actually exist? And if so, could it be lost or concealed somewhere, waiting to be discovered?



Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
PG-13 | 2h 9min

Captain Jack Sparrow searches for the trident of Poseidon while being pursued by an undead sea captain and his crew.

I was thrilled to see the other two main characters make an appearance at the end of "Dead Men Tell No Tales." It left me wondering if this signals the conclusion of the series or if there are more installments to come. I can't help but anticipate what the future holds for the Pirates of the Caribbean saga.

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) on IMDb

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)
PG-13 | 2h 29min

Autobots and Decepticons are at war, with humans on the sidelines. Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth.

"Transformers: The Last Knight" is a visually stunning spectacle that continues the epic saga of the Autobots and Decepticons. As a dedicated sci-fi enthusiast who has followed the franchise since its inception, I found the film to be a mixed bag. While it offers thrilling action sequences and impressive special effects, the convoluted plot and excessive CGI can be overwhelming at times. The presence of Bumblebee remains a highlight, adding heart to the chaos. Overall, it's an entertaining addition to the Transformers series, but it may leave fans longing for the simplicity and charm of the earlier installments.

The Mummy (2017)
PG-13 | 1h 50min

An ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

Tom Cruise being the lead, makes me feel like watching MI with a horror twist. :P
