admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:56:33 +0000

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol is a 2011 American action film and the fourth installment in the Mission: Impossible series. In Budapest to intercept a courier holding Russian nuclear launch codes, IMF agent Trevor Hanaway (Josh Holloway)is killed by assassin Sabine Moreau (Léa Seydoux) who is works for someone code named “Cobalt”. The other members of Hanaway’s team Jane Carter (Paula Patton) and newly promoted field agent Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) extract Ethan Hunt and Hunt’s source Bogdan from a Moscow prison. Hunt is assigned to lead Carter and Dunn in infiltrating secret Moscow Kremlin archives to locate files identifying Cobalt, who is known to be a Russian consultant with a goal of detonating a nuclear bomb. During the mission, someone broadcasts across the IMF frequency alerting the Russians to Hunt’s team. Although Dunn and Carter escape a bomb destroys the Kremlin and Russian agent Sidorov arrests Hunt, suspecting him as responsible for the attack. The IMF extracts Hunt from Moscow and the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war which forces the US president to activate “Ghost Protocol” a black operation contingency that disavows the IMF. Hunt and his team are to take the blame for the attack, but will be allowed to escape from government custody in order to track down Cobalt. Before Hunt can escape the IMF’s secretary (Tom Wilkinson)is killed by Russian security forces led by Sidorov, leaving Hunt and intelligence analyst William Brandt (Jeremy Renner)to find their own way out. Hunt identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist)a Swedish born Russian nuclear strategist who believes the weak must die for the strong to survive, so he plans to start a nuclear war to initiate the next stage of human evolution. Hendricks bombed the Kremlin in order to acquire a Russian nuclear launch control device, next he needs the activation codes from Moreau in order to launch a nuclear missile at America. The exchange between Moreau and Hendricks’s right hand man, Wistrom is due to take place at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Hunt’s team members separately convince Moreau and Wistrom that they have made the exchange with one another. However, Moreau identifies Brandt as an agent. While Hunt chases Wistrom only to realize that Wistrom is actually Hendricks in disguise, escaping with the codes Carter detains Moreau. Moreau attempts to kill the inexperienced Dunn and Carter kicks her out a window to her death. Brandt accuses Carter of compromising the mission for revenge against Moreau, but Hunt accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them as he has displayed fighting skills typical of an analyst. While Hunt seeks more information from Bogdan, Brandt admits he was assigned as security detail to Hunt and his wife, Julia in Croatia. Brandt says that while he was on patrol, Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison. Bogdan and his arms dealer cousin inform Hunt that Hendricks will be in Mumbai. Hendricks facilitated the sale of a defunct Soviet military satellite to Indian telecommunications entrepreneur Brij Nath. The satellite could be used to transmit the order to fire a missile. The team heads to India to prevent Hendricks from using the satellite, which can be controlled from computers at Nath’s home. While Brandt and Dunn infiltrate the server room to deactivate the satellite, Carter gets Nath to reveal the satellite override code. But Hendricks has anticipated Hunt’s plan and uses a virus to turn off Nath’s servers before sending a signal from a television broadcasting tower to a Russian nuclear submarine in the Pacific to fire at San Francisco. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch control device before Hendricks jumps to his death with it to ensure the launch. Dunn kills Wistrom, allowing Brandt to restore power to the station and enabling Hunt to deactivate the missile, while the fatally wounded Hendricks witnesses the failure of his plan just before he dies. Hunt is then confronted by Sidorov, who sees Hunt has stopped the missile, proving the IMF is innocent in the Kremlin bombing. The team reconvenes weeks later in Seattle. Hunt introduces the team to longtime colleague Luther Stickell and then issues new assignments. Dunn and Carter accept, but Brandt refuses. Hunt reveals that Julia’s death was staged as he knew he could not protect her and used her death as a pretext to infiltrate the prison, where he believed he would find men associated with Cobalt. Relieved of guilt, Brandt accepts his mission while Hunt watches Julia from afar. She spots him, and they share a smile before he embarks on his next mission.

Underworld: Awakening

admin — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:01:30 +0000

Underworld Awakening is a 2012 American 3D action horror film directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein. The film begins Six months after the events of Underworld: Evolution, humans capture the vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) during “the Purge” a global military crusade to exterminate Vampires and Lycans after mankind learns of their existence. Humans call them “Non Humans” and “the Infected”. Twelve years later the human governments have concluded the genocidal campaigns against the vampires and lycans. They have annihilated 95% of the vampire race and believe the lycans are extinct. Selene dubbed “Subject 1″ is freed from cryogenic suspension by “Subject 2″ and escapes the medical corporation named Antigen. The corporation is ostensibly trying to make an antidote for the virus that creates vampires and lycans. Selene starts to have strange visions after her escape, which she follows believing them to be linked to her lover the vampire lycan hybrid Michael Corvin. The visions lead her into a building where she runs into David (Theo James) a fellow vampire. While talking to David, Selene has another vision. Following the vision, she discovers not Michael but a young girl called only as “Subject 2″ also known as Eve (India Eisley) later revealed to be a hybrid and the daughter of Selene and Michael. David, noting that Eve has been injured by the lycans and is somehow not healing, takes them to his coven. David’s father, Thomas (Charles Dance) does not welcome Selene and Eve. Blaming Selene for provoking the destruction of the vampire race, he stuns her with the news that Michael died twelve years ago. A vampire woman offers some of her blood to the wounded Eve, which she refuses to drink at first implying that she has never drunk blood before. With Selene’s encouragement, she accepts the gift and heals extremely quickly. Dr Jacob Lane (Stephen Rea) director of Antigen is revealed to be a lycan alongside his son Quint (Kris Holden Ried). The “antidote” the corporation has been working on for many years is actually to make lycans immune to the deadly effects of silver on their species and to enhance their physical abilities. Eve’s hybrid genetic code is required to achieve this, so Lane sends Quint with other lycans to the vampire coven to recapture her. Meanwhile, expecting a human attack at any moment, David tries to rally the vampires’ resistances to fight back while his father orders everyone to evacuate and hide. Most of the vampires stay and arm themselves heavily. As expected the lycans arrive in large numbers killing numerous vampires. Selene encounters a gigantic “super lycan” later revealed to be Quint, whose body is changed by injections using Eve’s genetic material. Selene is knocked unconscious under a pile of rubble during the fight, Eve is turned over to the lycans by Thomas in exchange for their departure and David is mortally wounded during the battle. Selene decides to save Eve but first revives David using her immortal blood, given to her by Alexander Corvinus in Evolution. Able to survive in sunlight, Selene enlists the help of Detective Sebastian (Michael Ealy) a human who tried to investigate Antigen earlier in the film. Sebastian agrees to help save Eve, admitting he was married to a nurse who was bitten at work and became a vampire. When authorities were going door to door searching for Vampires and Lycans, instead of becoming another victim of the Purge his wife decided to expose herself to the daylight rather than suffer at the hands of humans. Selene destroys part of Antigen’s headquarters using silver gas explosives, forcing Dr Lane to move Eve out of the building to perform an operation to create more of the antidote. Selene escapes from the lycans in the building. In the process she finds Michael cryogenically frozen in a laboratory. She punctures his cell with a gunshot to defrost him. Escaping in a van Dr Lane is intercepted by Sebastian and then by Selene, who causes the van to crash. Quint arrives, transforms into his super lycan form and fights Selene. Eve awakens on her stretcher and frees herself from the van and begins to fight Dr Lane who has also injected himself with the super lycan formula used on Quint. Sebastian and the revived David aid Eve in her fight until she kills Dr Lane by ripping his throat out. Meanwhile, Quint corners Selene in a small cement guardroom but is forced to revert to his human form to get to her, only for Selene to shove an activated silver based grenade into Quint’s body. He heals instantly, trapping the grenade inside. Panicking Quint halfchanges back to his lycan form but it is too late and he explodes. Selene goes to free Michael but finds he has already escaped. Eve sharing his vision learns he is on the roof. Selene, Eve and David run to the roof, only to find Michael has gone. Selene narrates, concluding that she will find Michael and take back the world from the humans and lycans so the vampires can rebuild themselves as the human governments decided to declare war.
