Angels and Demons

[skizzerflake]

OK...it's out, who else saw it? I went to Angels and Demons on Friday because I was in the mood for a "good" theological thriller. Take one antique German underground group (The Illuminati), mix in some murder and mayhem along with a pea size chunk of anti-matter and a charlatan priest, have Tom Hanks phone in a performance, lots of Italian cops driving around real fast and searching dusty churches and you have a blockbuster.

In spite of all that, I was in the right mood so it worked as 2 1/2 hours away from reality.

i saw it 2 days ago. i thought it was pretty good, it kept me entertained however my one quirk about the movie was how bad the cops were at being cops. they were just generally terrible at doing everything lol. i thought the intro scene at the CERN was pretty cool.

The book was quite good. As opposed to the DaVinci Code (Which was written as a movie script described as a book), it was actually written quite well. I just cannot imagine the movie being nearly as good. I think I'll wait for HBO.

Thats my thought also as nice as it is to have the night out and so on its just one that I can wait for ,besides the cost of the movies these days makes it more reasonable to just buy a new Blu or a hard to find HD DVD

going to catch it over the weekend, so far the reviews here seems positive, blu sounds like the sensible thing to do but i can't wait...

My wife and I both really liked it a lot. Not great......but yes, very good.

4 stars


The pacing of the movie was good, and it held our interest pretty much from beginning to end.

2 thumbs up...

Yeah, the whole thing about anti-matter is fascinating in my opinion. Over all, I liked it. Sure has seen worse.



Cheers,

I just happened to watch it again tonight waiting for the snow to stop. It's a good suspense flick, but don't look to closely at the science. The Large Hadron Collider won't be making pea sized chunks of antimatter, putting them in a jar where they're confined by BATTERIES(!!!). Wowsers; I don't think even Inspector Gadget could come up with something like that.
