Review: The hobbit: the battle of the five armies




This film is the third part of the trilogy of The Hobbit. It's important that you saw the others films, because if you didn't see the others, you don't know the beginning and the story.
The story continue with the dwarfs in Erebor. They are preparing for a battle against an army of elves led by King Thranduil, which seeks part of the treasure of dwarfs. But they are only thirteen dwarfs against thousands of soldiers. Meanwhile Bardo is defending the human village against Smaug (the dragon). After killing the dragon, the village was burned, people had to take refuge in Erebor. Bardo also wanted to claim part of the treasure of dwarfs, because part of this is pertinent of they. When the battle was to begin the army of dwarves appears. But soon after, a large army of orcs appears to kill all of them, for this reason humans, elves and dwarves join their forces to fight the orcs. When the orcs were ready to win the giant eagles appears, but meanwhile Azog and Thorin are fighting but finally kill each other. Finally the battle is won and orcs are annihilated, Bilbo says goodbye and returns to his home.
I expected much this film, because I keen on the two previous films. But I was disappointed because it has too many failures in the argument. For example, few animals appears for help the dwarfs, but during the film haven't said anything about them. Another example when Bilbo kills orcs only with stones in the head, and a few other things that suggest that the film was made quickly.

Review: Lucy











The history alternate the presentation of a professor that explain the hypothesis  what would happen if people use more than 10% of the brain capacity. And what will occur to Lucy, a girl who lives in Taiwan.
She is kidnapped by a mafia because of her boyfriend. This mob has created a new drug, and want to share this to European and American market by introducing the drug into the bodies of a few tourists (including Lucy). Because of strokes that she give, the bag of drugs is broken and her body absorbs the substance. This substance seems that affects the brain and all of her senses increase, include the intelligence. She manages to escape and goes to hospital because the doctors remove the bag of her body. She decides to punish the Mafia and his boss, but don't kill this. As % of their brain capacity increases, so do their abilities.
 Finally she gets in touch with the professor to knows better that happens. As that was approaching to 100% capacity utilization of the brain decides to keep all information known to the universe in a USB. Finally get to 100% and she decays and becomes everything.
I keen on the film, and is quite entertaining. I think it is possible that the hypothesis posed in the film is true, but it's quite surreal. Also if I don't believe this that people can only use 10% of our brain capacity.

Review: Divergent


The story takes place in a future alternative to the city of Chicago, where everything is destroyed by one war. The city is independent, don't have contact with the outside world. The city is divided into five factions: abnegation, amity, erudite, candor and dauntless, and the none faction. Who heads the government are the abnegation. When they comply 16 years, the guys of the all factions do the tests to decide which faction you want to go, if you stay with the family,or go to another faction.
Beatrice Prior, a abnegation girl, along with his brother must pass these tests. Beatrice, in this discovered that she was a divergent , which may belonged to  different factions. At the end of this test, she decides to go to dauntless, and he to erudition.
In there she overcome one test for become a one member of dauntless. And this is where he falls in love with his coach, Four. He also is a divergent.
At the end of the tests, all members of dauntless must inject on her-self a chip, which is supposed to be of monitoring but actually serves to control them. Because erudition, as of dauntless wants to destroy abnegation and create to a new government. They when all finalized, go to the Amity faction with a few Abnegation members who have survived.

I liked the book more than the movie, because it  so internalizes more the characters and the story is not so direct. Further I prefered some things in my imagination, not as they are in the movie.
