Film 312/365, Day 334/365 – G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra

Some action but very little story.  This film is so desperate to be Star Wars that I almost started to feel sorry for it.  It is also a feature length advert with all of the main characters with their action figure names and flash vehicles and armour, shameless.  Some of the accents are beyond ridiculous, especially the British ones!

Synopsis:  A convoy carrying a dangerous weapon is attacked by a mysterious military team and whilst they are unsuccessful in stealing the weapon it’s just the start of things.  Soon the secret military G.I. Joe will be going head to head with the mysterious Cobra terrorists.

Film 282/365, Day 312/365 – Pandorum

Tense, dark and thoroughly engaging.  Pandorum is a great science fiction film with plenty of action, a good twist and a very enjoyable story.  If you like films set in space, with dark and twisting corridors, people struggling to find out what has happened around them all whilst carnivorous creatures try to eat them... then this is for you!

Synopsis:  Two crew members awaken from an extended stay in hyper-sleep with no memory of who they are and what they are doing there.  Soon they become aware that the reactor that powers the spaceship is hours away from exploding.  Also to make things that much trickier there appears to be something else on the ship and it’s hunting them!
