Critique

1. Basic plot line of movie.
-A girl and twins can see the future. Sure everyone will think they are insane but someone appreciate.

-Comebined with the new technology, some one utilize the gift of the girl and hold the 'justice'.

- They use it as a per vision to rescue human from murder. Murder case become less.

- But behind the scene, there is some conspiracy. And it still going.

- Some one found problem and want to found out more, but framed by bad guy.

-Hide and Seek game started.

- Finally the leading man finally kick the bad guy a*s.

2.Impressive
Start from the movie, i was attract by the futuristic design of the city. The infrastructure of the city is amazaing, the transport can ' climb ' on the wall and reach every unit of their apartment, office and more. Hopefully one day our earth can be like that, but before that we should concern about our environment problem now.

Second is the 3D style newspaper, screen. The newspaper can show in slide and change news, it a bit like Harry P*tter newspaper, both also can move. But the most impressive part is can use special glove and move all the detail and using our finger to control the screen, i think we almost reach there cause now already have touch screen.

When the leading man fight with his old friends, the car in Lexuz is so futuristic, i think it is a concept car.

When he escaping , he go to a Green house to find an old lady. That scene is the most green scene in the whole movie. The director shows the green house is so pure white, quiet compare to the city, it's like heaven.

When the leading man and the girl can view future escape to a 'illusion room' . the interior design of the space is amazing. Fully represent the futuristic and it create a private space for each individual. And the desiing of Zik Zac shape will create a wave shape.

Finally the building is fully glass, it look very simple, clean but comfortable and the space is just enough.

Unimpressive
Unimpressive part will be the begining, when the camera show how futuristic of the city, it also show there is no greenery in the city which now we all plan our city without thinking about this problem. luckily after that director manage to show the out skirt of the city which is still remain green.

And from the 1st mission we saw in the movie, when the leading man and his team when to the criminal scene, they can't regconize the house that the future murderer inside. It is because all the houses is the same. Same like now, all of our terrace house is the same, only the colors or maybe some rich guy will renovate it.

Do you still remember the leading man escaping, he went in a shopping mall, 2 roll of 3D commercial board keep selling their product, it create sound and vision, but combined together it become noise. And since that is 3D and it can take turn to show different commercial, why not just use one instead of blocking the way and wasting electricity and create noise?

When in the train, the newspaper pop up the leading man's photo and put in wanted. Feeling curious how he fold the newspaper and put inside his suit bag?

And for a futuristic movie, the costume is a bit old fashion, its like 2008 but not 2000 and late.

3. Architecute & the Story
1st thing, with the technology and the help of the flash image, they already know the leading man will go and 'kill' the guy, why until that moment, all of the officer still not going and standby at the scene but letting the leading man look for that guy and ask many question?

About the technology, the 3D screen which i think is using few angle projector and create a 3D image. Which i think it is going to become real cause currently there is some experiment is going on and quite succesful.

Architecture, about the infrastructure, i think it is very cool cause it really make human more convinient. From the time line, i think we need to work more hard to make it become real.

And the spider detective, i feel a bit not fit the time line because im doubt that our technology will gain so fast until the spider detective can be so soft, intelligent. If so why not robot become cops instead of send so many human cops and bit up by the leading man?

4.Intention/massage
I can get the massage from the writer/director very well. When the girl ask leading man to see the flash vision, it already show clearly the problem is come from the vision of the future. And the leading man get the main point so that he can find out the problem. Until the end the director manage to show all the context for the audience clearly. I think the intention of the film is succesful. It show everything although how perfect it is, if you use it in positive way then it will become good, but if you use it in negative way it will turn bed side too.

5.Impact of design thinking
Sure, from the movie , we can observe that lot of different shape and ' weird' building. It can inspire us because they imagine so many amazing shape of building and it can inspire us to design more creative design and try more to think out of the box.

Second is the massage that director want to show us. we should think everything in different way, just like the 3D image, it come from different angle and create a image, it helps us to design a building that with 5 elevation also can impress people.

Third is from the story line, a perfect thing can't be so perfect sometimes. So before we think our design is perfect, maybe we need to show other people and get some idea and advise or maybe criticm sometimes is needed.

The End
