Angels & Demons

     I was to post this yesterday but eventually I got bored to even turn-on the pc. First I want to thank Nikita and SkyCable for sharing premier ticket(s) (photo @ right). It was my first time to watch a movie premier.It was held last May 15 at Cinema 1, Glorietta 4. I admit the complimentary food was not that great tasting, but hey, you can’t expect free food to always taste good after all. hehehe =). 

     If I would rate the movie from a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 8. Although, I have not read the book itself unlike its predecessor  “The Davinci Code”, the movie version of Angels & Demons was packed with more action than the first.  The story of the movie revolves around a murder in the Vatican caused by the come back of the Catholic church’s toughest enemy, the secret society of the “Illuminati”, which also threatens to explode an “Antimatter” bomb within Vatican. 

     I found the movie somewhat interesting. I didn’t found it as controversial as what other critics are saying. Im not a religous professor, researcher or somekind, but I guess there were really parts in the movie that shouldnt have been there in the first place. What I liked about the movie, was the way it presented the relationship between Science and Religion. After watching the movie, one “might” have thoughts about maybe Science was right or maybe the Catholic church was right afterall. The characters in the movie played very important roles because they gave the movie the spice that a thriller movie goer is looking for. During the first part, you can’t really pin point on whos who in the movie. At first, I tought that the Swiss security head was the real mastermind of the Illuminati but then again i”ve also tought that it could have been the Camerlengo or maybe the head of the college of cardinals or the head of the Vatican security or me…=) . I suggest that you watch the movie and discover for yourself who the real “Demon” was.

     Finally (im running out of time, maybe i’ll just edit this post in the future), to read more about the movie, you can visit http://www.angelsanddemonsmovie.org/index.html.

“The Illuminati did not become violent until the 17th Century. Their name means ‘The Enlightened Ones’. They were physicists, mathematicians, astronomers. In the 1500’s they started meeting in secret, because they were concerned about the church’s inaccurate teachings. They were dedicated to scientific truth. And the Vatican didn’t like that. So the church began to, how did you say it? Oh, hunt them down and kill them.” -Robert Langdon
