DVD REVIEW:
After watching "2002",
the first thing that came into my mind was "Silent Mobius"
meets "Blade" meets "Men in Black".
The plot is about a
ghost hunter named "TIDE" of the special unit "2002",
a task force of SPI (Spirit and Paranormal Investigation). Tide
believes he is cursed and that anyone close to him will die. Thus
he has no friends and he can't have a girlfriend. He teams up
with a ghost named SAM (Sam Lee) who helps him out but since reincarnation
is approaching, it is time for TIDE to find a new partner and
so he finds WIND. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to WIND...to be a
partner of TIDE, one will have to be dead.
The concept of cool
ghostbusters or spirit hunters is pretty nice. The movie has nice
special effects and really awesome fight scenes but the problem
with the movie is that it tries to be serious and it tries to
be humorous (like a manga). Although it's nice to have the humor,
for a movie like this...sometimes the humor seemed a bit out of
place.
There are some parts
of this movie that may confuse the viewer as well, so pay attention
to the movie. A bright spot to this movie is to see the three
guys from GEN-X Cops together again. Although their time together
is limited, it was still pretty fun. Also, to see model Daniel
Graham in this movie was pretty awesome and she did ok for her
supporting role.
As for the DVD, The
Golden Harvest DVD features a making of (Chinese subtitles only)
that lasts around 10 minutes I believe, a trailer and a character
guide.
All in all a pretty
solid DVD that was pretty fun to watch. Although it deals with
the supernatural, there are no sick parts in the movie.
Check it out!
