traunk Posted August 28, 2014 at 04:33 AM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 04:33 AM I'm heading to Asia this weekend and have a 16 hour flight with Cathay Pacific. Their current movie list is as follows. 救火英雄 白日焰火 Delete愛人 賭城風雲 金雞sss 每當變幻時 冰封俠：重生之門 車手 同桌的妳 鹿鼎記 暗戰 心動 西遊記之大鬧天宮 聽風者 I probably won't watch more than 2-4. I have already seen 暗戰. All of the others are new to me. Any I should put at the top of my list, or avoid? Thanks in advance for the suggestions! Quote
mouse Posted August 28, 2014 at 08:42 AM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 08:42 AM I would avoid 大闹天宫 because it's a big special effects extravaganza that will look terrible on one of those small inflight screens. But then I would avoid it anyway because even on the big screen in 3D I found it deeply underwhelming. 1 Quote
Goshujinchama Posted August 28, 2014 at 09:45 AM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 09:45 AM The people have spoken! Let's take a look at the douban score... 救火英雄 7.3 白日焰火 7.0 delete爱人 4.5 赌城风云 5.8 金鸡sss 6.4 每当变幻时 7.8 冰封侠 3.4 车手 6.0 同桌的你 6.1 鹿鼎记 7.7 暗战 8.3 心动 8.2 西游记 4.2 听风者 6.8 Looks like the one you watched was the best rated one. I watched 白日焰火 and I think it's ok... 2 Quote
michaelS Posted August 28, 2014 at 11:29 AM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 11:29 AM Don't watch 西游记! 1 Quote
Shelley Posted August 28, 2014 at 03:24 PM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 03:24 PM Well I would watch 西游记 its a bit of fun and you don't have watch stuff only if its good for you. 1 Quote
mouse Posted August 28, 2014 at 03:32 PM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 03:32 PM Well I would watch 西游记 its a bit of fun and you don't have watch stuff only if its good for you. Can't agree with this. Rather than being a bit of fun, it takes itself way too seriously and is too faithful to the original. Total CGI snoozefest. If you want a bit of fun, try the 2013 prequel, the two A Chinese Odyssey films from the 90s, or the classic TV show from the 80s. edit: Also — seeing as I'm obviously bias towards Stephen Chow — you can't go wrong with 鹿鼎记. A comedy classic. 1 Quote
Shelley Posted August 28, 2014 at 07:15 PM Report Posted August 28, 2014 at 07:15 PM Well I suppose the memory of the 80s tv series tainted my choice. That was a awesome tv show, would watch it again if it came on. 1 Quote
