Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure

Taking my son into the large IMAX theater I was excited to see the 3-D movie, Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure. The opening draws you into a world that lived.

You bounce from present to past rapidly. Going from fossil to living creature. You follow from birth to death a pair of sea monsters. At one time a long necked sea monster using the 3-D technology has its face right in front of you, I decided as a joke to tickle it underneath its chin.

Yes, I know tickling a 3-D image is not quite doable. It's not really there, and you know what I am glad that toothy monster was not real or I could not write this blog.

The IMAX experience was worth seeing. This was a good movie.

But there is one complaint, after a few weeks you tend to forget that you watched this movie.

Dragon Wars

A large snake trashing LA, that is my kind of movie. Based on a Korean Legend, a snake or Imoogi comes from heaven to join with the soul of a young woman to become a dragon.

There is a snag an evil snake called Buraki wants to have the powers of being a Dragon to destroy Earth and Heaven. The girl is killed 500 years in the past and her soul is reborn.

This movies should have been name"Snake Wars" but that is my only complaint.

The twists and turns in the movie are great, the CGI rivals some resent monster movies made i.e. King Kong, and the end was a bit of a surprise to me. I think this is a good movie. It is nice to see other countries legends translated into a major motion picture.

The DVD was released this week.
