I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

( source ) My eleven-year-old nephew loves to play BORDERLANDS , which incidentally was featured in this trailer: The movie is stupendous, spectacular, exciting, nail biting and a lot of other superlatives that you could think of in a positive way.  It's like Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION, but not.  It is designed for the younger viewers that even older ones would appreciated.  As one of the critics mentioned(not verbatim), it's a Steven Spielberg 1980s movie at its best. The music and the games are from the 1970s and 1980s.  John Hughes films are mentioned and a whole lot more.

Only one other man (Gary Oldman) understands the power of what Eli carries, and he is determined to take it for himself. Though Eli prefers peace, he will risk death to protect his precious cargo, for he must fulfill his destiny to help restore mankind.-WWW #dystopia To be honest I did not want to watch this movie because the trailer looked so depressing. My curiosity was stirred up a bit when some of my friends mentioned that they love the powerful message of the story. They all warned me that it would be dragging at first, but it was a good movie to watch. We take things for granted. Right now we have so much to thank for, but what do we do about it?  As early as now we should learn how to care for our environment and praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Eli(DENZEL WASHINGTON), the cen...
