What's up people! Sometime this month, I will be releasing a Star Trek review which some of you may have known through my Instagram, but if not then you'll be aware of it in this post.
Next month, otherwise known as the start of the season of summer movies, expect reviews of highly-anticipated blockbusters on this blog such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Mad Max: Fury Road. Until then, keep posted on more details for the coming month!

Furious 7 - A Heartwarming Farewell
Furious 7 movie review
In Furious 7, Dom's crew are now seen living ordinary lives after the events of the previous film when Owen Shaw's brother, Deckard, enters as the film's Winter Soldier when he carries out an assassination on former crew member Han in urban Tokyo. After Deckard nearly succeeds on killing DSS agent Luke Hobbs, Dom is forced to recruit his team for one last ride against Shaw.

Kurt Russell is introduced as Mr. Nobody, a mysterious government official, when he offers the crew to obtain God's Eye, the supercomputer from The Dark Knight invented by Ramsey. I thought it served as an intriguing plot device, but in the story itself it is inadvertently nonsensical. Furious 7 does cut back on the overcomplicated plot, horror movie director James Wan does try to flex on high-budget, adrenaline-fueled action.

Despite the movie indulges in one or two action sequences too many, I thought the tribute was well-executed with a touching speech and clips of PW from previous movies. I didn't even try to think of a better ending after the 1st and 2nd viewing.
If only Dom had shot Shaw in the first place, this movie would've ended in 5 minutes. |
Last but not least, I just want to share a Furious 7 TV spot which nearly moved me to tears:
