The director (John Woo) of this movie able to bring out the meaning of righteous and trustworthy of your war mates.

Movie - Outlander

Two days ago, I have a friend of mine who took 'planned' MC but it is a genuine one. okay! So she asked if I could fetch her back to her home. As I possessed good criterion of a friend, so I said yes to her. Then, I managed to fetch her and went for lunch and so on... On our way back home, I suggested to do something before I send her back as the day was still young on that afternoon. So what we did were, we decided to go for a movie near her house (Pandan Indah). A sudden click in her mind, she said let's go to the nearest cinema located in somewhere Ampang. I still remembered the building called Galaxy (I guess so!).

And so, I parked my car at level 3a, where other floors were quite creepy. We got down and entered the cinema same floor as the cinema. Damn! It's really freaking SMALL AND RUNDOWN! You may not want to compare it to other more luxurious cinema located in the city center. This cinema company name was MBO, they offered cheap movie ticket RM6 on normal Tuesday. Well fair enough for such an appearance. I cant complain much with the pricing.

Unintentionally, we chose a movie called Outlander starred by James Caviesel. One word to express my feeling towards this movie, BORED! It's relates about high technology with stone age (which I think it's quite ridiculous and doesnt make any sense). It's like an alien (high tech) and vikings (ice age).


Outlander (18SG) 1 Hour 55 Minutes, English Long ago, a man from another time lands on Earth and must kill a monster by fusing his advanced technology with Viking Ice Age weaponry.Genre: Action / Adventure / Science FictionGeneral Release Date: 01 January 2009


Quite review, greediness of a human being which lived with high technology wanted to conquer a land or planet. They found it but this planet was populated with somekind of alien (Moorwen) and they killed it all. As a typical low standard movie, there is always left one more alien to prolong the movie time length. And so it killed human (James) people included his wife and son excluded himself. So he landed on earth near some viking village, together to kill the alien.

After all the above ended, last part is he became the king of the viking village and he live happily with the woman and adopted son. It's bored! In some sites, it contained 3.5 ratings. But I definitely would give it only 1 or 2 star.

I do not recommend to watch this movie! Dont even waste RM6 for this. No excitement and no new movie ideas. I can guess what's gonna happen next in the movie.
