Aeon Flux

Was at the preview screening of Aeon Flux at GV Marina yesterday, thanks to Dr Lowem who reserved a place for me.
Actually I was rather blur last week. When "Dr" told me abt the surprise, I was so happy that I had forgotten another friend of mine is performing on the same day (had mentioned that I'll be going to watch her performance). Hai.. guess I will have to support her on her next performance instead.
I had wanted to watch Aeonflux when I caught it's trailer abt 2 months ago. Cos Aeon (Charlize Theron) seems cool. Especially this scene:

Cool hor. Firing at her enemics using 2 guns at the same time.

Not going to review the movie as it's not my forte

Here's the lot summary from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402022/plotsummary


"The sci-fi actioner is set 400 years in the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the earth's population except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists. The story centers on Aeon Flux(Theron), the top operative in the underground 'Monican' rebellion, led by The Handler(Frances McDormand). When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets..."

I do find the movie visually stimulating ( watching Charlize Theron doing a series of flips and jumps lah) and intellectually stimulating (figuring who are the good & bad guys; the secrets that lie beneath, cloning....).
But....
It's disappointing that the theatre's sound system went haywire in the midst of the show. Ended up the sounds from the guns seems like sounds from toys guns --- no impact!




Yeah that glare.............(Pic from up4u.net )
Perhaps I should start mastering how to give that glare. hahaha..
(and u know what. I am not listening to Li Sheng Jie's songs on Media Player. Yet radio is now playing his 手放开。注定是要我听他的歌的！)
