Quantum of Solace Review
Carrie and I saw the new Bond film – Quantum of Solace, last night. We both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Here’s my quick review:
A Bond film unlike any other in the series. You’ll read many reviews that say it’s not as good as Casino Royale, but Carrie and I thought it was better. It starts right where Casino Royale leaves off, and takes you on an action filled, but complex story that is deep, rich in storytelling texture, and fun.
We took in the movie at a fairly new theatre - Landmark Theatre Greenwood Village, which has special VIP seating. For $3 more a ticket, you get all the popcorn and soda you can ingest, sit in a special section with more comfortable and roomy seating, and can order food and have it delivered to your seat before the show starts. Hey – if you don’t go out to the movies very often any more, but really want to do it right, this is the way to go! It’s actually not that much more than a regular movie theatre experience. See if Landmark has a theatre near you – its a fun experience.

Go into this summer action blockbuster with low expectations and be prepared to not look too closely at the plot that is filled with holes, and you can walk out afterwards having had a great time. It's incredible treat to the eyes in its many action sequences, but don't look or think too deeply whenever the "story" tries to make a point. Not as good as the first movie in my opinion, but a worthy sequel.

Another visual treat from the land of Pixar. An entertaining and fun movie, but less dialog and more adult oriented themes make this somewhere closer to the middle of the pack at best for me when compared to the entire suite of Pixar films.

Star Trek fans could not have asked for a better "reboot". Following the successful formula of other recent reboots, J.J. Abrams took the storyline back in time to the Starfleet Academy days of the original Enterprise crew and showed us how they all came together to boldly go where no man (or now "one") had gone before. These young actors, some even unknowns were all perfectly cast and gave convincing younger versions of the characters that we know and love. The story was sprinkled with plenty of fun references to the old characters catch phrases, and pulled it off without getting overly cheesy. Definitely my favorite movie of 2009 so far, hands down, and will be tough to top.

The plot is very simple and has few twists, but it can still be a fun ride. If you miss it in the theatres, its at least worth putting on your NetFlix rotation or picking up at RedBox.
