The year is coming to an end, which is the best time to sum up what movie videos have been the most successful this year. Here they are:
• Inception. In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date. Leonardo DiCaprio’s CEO type character is a guy who can dive into people’s dreams to implant or extract information.
• Tangled. Disney’s 50th animated feature is based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel. A long-haired Princess has spent her entire life locked up in a tower, but when she encounters a passing bandit she takes the opportunity to venture into the outside world for the first time.
• Twilight 3 Eclipse. As a string of mysterious killings grips Seattle, Bella, whose high school graduation is fast approaching, is forced to choose between her love for vampire Edward and her friendship with werewolf Jacob.
• Little Fockers. I love every part of this movie video series. The third part is not worse than the previous ones, and if you want to have a good time just watch it. De Niro returns to the role of retired-CIA man Jack, who becomes highly suspicious of his son-in-law’s ability to raise the twin grandkids.
• A Team. This action comedy film is based on the story that goes about a group of Iraq War veterans. They look to clear their name with the U.S. military, who suspect the four men of committing a crime for which they were framed.
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A young fugitive prince and princess must stop a villain who unknowingly threatens to destroy the world with a special dagger that enables the magic sand inside to reverse time.
The six largest opening of the year and the biggest opening of the weekend, Inception by Chris Nolan received a highly positive critics and audience acclaim. The film grossed $ 60.4 million. The biggest disappointment of the weekend passed became Sorcerer’s Apprentice with only $ 17.4 million.
Inception tells about Dom Cobb who is a skilled thief who is the best at stealing secrets while a victim is sleeping. That is why in the modern world of corporate espionage Dom turns into a coveted person yet he is an international fugitive. But now he has got a chance to turn his life back. But the difficulty is that his enemy is able to predict his every step.
In the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio who seems to have restored his popularity lately. Among members of the team there are Tom Hardy, Ellen Page. “The movie is all about process, about fighting our way through enveloping sheets of reality and dream, reality within dreams, dreams without reality. It’s a breathtaking juggling act” – that is what experts say about Inception.
But let’s pass on to the other movie video of the weekend passed – Sorcerer’s Apprentice. In the film star Nicolas Cage, Alfred Molina, Jay Baruchel and others. The story tells about a skilled sorcerer Balthazar Blake who appears in modern-day New York City. He fights with Maxim Horvath, representative of the evil. Both sorcerers find an apprentice to help them. The question is if an average guy from Manhattan can save the city.
The film was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Jon Turteltaub. It is also said that the idea of the fantasy movie belonged to Nicolas Cage. The film was sold on star power of the actor and multiple special effects. That was cute but not enough to conquer modern audience.
