The Emoji Movie: Thinking of a Career as an Emoji? Watch this Out-of-this-World Animated Film First!

This week from Sony Pictures Animation comes  The Emoji Movie. The studio has certainly served strange animation flicks before such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 2009 and its sequel in 2013. It has also blended animation with live-action in The Smurfs, an expected movie hit for 2011. Now The Emoji Movie may the studio's most bizarre animated film yet by presenting emojis as characters on an adventure through the digital world of a smartphone.

Official Synopsis:

The Emoji Movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone's user. In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression - except for Gene, an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expressions. Determined to become "normal" like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend Hi-5 and the notorious code breaker emoji Jailbreak. Together, they embark on an epic "app-venture" through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene. But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it's deleted forever.

The world of emojis inside smartphones.

The Emoji movie features the voice talents of T.J. Miller (Deadpool, Transformers 4) as lead protagonist Gene, a Meh emoji, Anna Faris (recently separated  from Chris Pratt) as Jailbreak, James Corden (The Late Late Show with James Corden) as Hi-5, and Maya Rudolph as Smiler.

Top-billed celebrity cameos include pop artist Christina Aguilera as Akiko Glitter, and Sir Patrick Stewart of X-Men / Star Trek renown as Poop (LOL!). In the world of sci-fi geek-dom, it's delightful to see Sir Patrick "loosen-up" in his late career taking on such role which would have been unimaginable of the Shakespearean actor during his days as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek The Next Generation.

OMG, Sir Patrick Stewart (X-Men, Star Trek) is Poop Daddy!

Sir Patrick Stewart interview by Conan about being Poop Daddy.

In the context of being Poop Daddy on The Emoji Movie, our research on Sir Patrick came across this video from his sitcom series Blunt Talk which is particular hilarious in the context of this movie (watch & LOL!):

The Emoji Movie releases in Malaysian cinemas this week on 17 August 2017. Stay tuned to the latest movie updates on the official Facebook Page and website, as well as locally via Facebook for Sony Pictures Malaysia.

During a publicity stunt at the Cannes Film Festival in May, lead voice actor T.J. Miller parasailed in for a photocall (a media event to photograph movie features). However, after a safe landing he inadvertantly fell into the sea and thereafter remained soaked for the media event, much like the comedic elements expected in an animated film like The Emoji Movie. Whilst a wet T.J. Miller did not quite catch our attention in the news, it was the assortment of live emoji characters accompanying him during the photocall that really caught our eyes. From the publicity photos, there were at least 8 different Emoji Movie mascots sighted comprising Gene / Meh, Jailbreak, High-5, Cookie, Ice-Cream, Heart, Lips and Pizza, although Poop himself seemed missing. Read more about this Cannes photocall from Reuters.

The Fast & The Furious tempts Fate 8

by Phang Kuok Sing

I recall watching the first movie The Fast & The Furious not on the big screen, but on the TV. What got me hooked was the brightly lit and loudly modified street racing cars featured in the movie. Never would I have thought the franchise would become what it is today, and have such an impact on pop culture. From small time thugs and street racers, the team has since find themselves often involved in international missions which require their specific skill sets of driving really fast cars. Some would even think the last few films were directed by Michael Bay (not true). The team has come a long way and so has their following of secret agencies and baddies. Despite all the madness that happened in the last few films, Family is still the end goal.

The first movie of the franchise released 16 years ago in 2001.

Current leading man of the franchise, Hollywood bad boy Vin Diesel stepped into the shoes of Dominic Toretto in 2001 for the first movie, The Fast and The Furious. He was then on hiatus for the subsequent 2 movies and returned to the role of Dom after 8 years for Fast & Furious in 2009.

The other films in between introduced Dom's associates around the world, whom eventually became part of the Toretto Family - Brian (the late Paul Walker), Letty (Michelle Rodrigeuz), Mia (Jordana Brewster), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Han (Sung Kang), and Gisele (Gal Gadot). We are all too sure towards the plot of each movie so we won't dive deep into the story line. Instead we will attempt to fill in the gaps of some "unconnected scenes" & recurring characters.

Brian shows up in a pimped out Skyline GTR in the beginning of 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). We bet a lot of us were wondering how he'd just show up with a ride like that, after giving up his 10-second Supra to Dom whom ended up Baja California, Mexico.

Brian's Nissan Skyline GTR R34

There is actually a short film in-between the first and second movie, known as "The Turbocharged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious", released with the DVD in 2003 which follows Brian's journey after parting with Dom, and how he became the established street racer/hustler.

Turbocharged Prelude For 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Does it make sense now?

Chronologically, Tokyo Drift (2006) happens after Fast & Furious 6 (2013), which explains the sudden reappearance of Han in the Dominican Republic, helping the crew in stealing the oil tanker in Fast & Furious (2009), where we were also introduced to 2 new faces, Leo & Santos (Puerto Rican singers Tego Calderón & Don Omar respectively). Now, the duo did not just mysteriously appear as new characters, like Brian's GTR in 2 Fast 2 Furious. They were actually introduced to us at an earlier time, in the form of a short film included as a bonus on Blu-Ray & DVD, known as "Los Bandoleros" in 2009 prior to the fourth movie.

Los Bandoleros (2009)

Now that we have cleared the past, let's connect the dots in the future especially the new characters introduced between Fast 5 and Fast & Furious 7. Firstly, Agent Luke Hobbs played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson:

Diplomatic Security Service Agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson)

Hobbs first appeared in Fast 5 (2011) when Dom & Brian stole a Ford GT40 on-board a train, which was seized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as it was linked with Brazilian drug lord Hernan Reyes. As Hobbs pieced the puzzles together at the end of the chase, he gave Dom & Brian a chance to flee as they have earned his respect. Hobbs returns in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) to find Dom as the case he is working on, Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) involves his supposedly dead-girlfriend Letty (killed 2 movies back in Fast & Furious). Hobbs was successful in securing the computer chip with the help of Dom's team and gave them full pardon for their assistance. 

Owen Shaw (Luke Evans)

Owen Shaw in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) was a former British SAS Major & Special Operations Soldier & his team of tech & weapons experts was out to steal several high tech components to create a deadly device, and intends to sell it to the highest bidder. One of the members included Letty - Dom's supposedly dead girlfriend. Shaw recruited Letty after discovering her amnesia after being rescued by Gisele. It was later revealed that Shaw is connected to Mexican drug lord Arturo Braga, whom Gisele used to work for. Surprise, Surprise! Owen suffered severe injuries from the crashing plane at the end of the film and is bedridden in a hospital.

Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham)

We get the first look of Owen's big bad brother Deckard Shaw in the intro of Furious 7 (2015), as a flashback to Han's crash sequence in Tokyo Drift (2009), showing Deckard responsible for Han's death. It is revealed that Deckard is out to avenge his brother Owen by taking out Dom's family one by one. Highly skilled in tracking people with background in the British military, Deckard plays the "you can't find me, but I will find you" role as he only appears when he wants you to see him. Deckard pursues in attempt to disrupt Dom's team while they are out on missions orchestrated by Mr. Nobody played by veteran action-star Kurt Russell. Despite these attempts he fails but ends up in a one-on-one brawl with Dom but lost and disappears in the collapse of the parking lot. He is later found in the rubble by Hobbs and locked away in a high-security prison.

Mr Nobody (Kurt Russell)

Nothing much is known about Mr Nobody (Or is he?) besides being the leader of a covert operations unit. Nobody offers Dom to get back to Deckard if he helps to find a high tech device known as the God's Eye. With the help of Dom's team & Hobb's return, Nobody successfully secured God's Eye.

Elena Neves (Played by Elsa Pataky)

Elena first appeared during Fast 5 (2011) in Rio de Janeiro as a local police officer, selected by Hobbs to assist in tracking down Dom & his team. Elena retrieves Dom's cross necklace after a minor gun-fight in the favela, whom visits her later that evening to claim it back. Elena returns with a minor role in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) she and Dom were approached by Hobbs seeking help to bring Shaw in with the reveal that Letty is alive. Elena sees that Dom still loves Letty & tells him to accept the job. That was the last of Elena. Perhaps.

Got all that? Take it all in to help digest what's being served for the 8th installment of this blockbuster movie franchise:

The Fate Of The Furious - In Cinemas 12 April 2017

Official Synopsis:

Now that Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are on their honeymoon, Brian and Mia have retired from the game, and the rest of the crew has been exonerated, the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life.

Resident Evil The Final Chapter: Will Evil Finally Be A Resident?

Her name is Alice, and she's been fighting against the Umbrella Corporation all her life. It's been 10 years since the first T-Virus outbreak in the fictional Racoon City and Alice & friends look about done to wrap up this whole Umbrella fiasco & dealing with the undead (well, actually mutated humans). We revisit her journey thus far in preparations of The Final Chapter infecting our cinemas this week.

The first Resident Evil movie introduced the infamous Umbrella Corporation, who operates a secret genetic research facility codenamed The Hive deep beneath Raccoon City. Their product, the T-Virus, was accidentally released into the facility triggering The Red Queen, The Hive's Artificial Intelligence, to seal and kill everything living in the underground facility to ensure the virus does not spread to the surface. The T-Virus reanimates infected beings into undead monsters more typically termed "zombies". These living dead includes humans as well as animals!

Our heroine, Alice (Milla Jovovich), wakes up amidst the crisis with no memory of her identity. Throughout the film Alice experiences flashbacks of her memories as a former Umbrella security operative. She is conscripted into the commando task force sent into The Hive to investigate. All too soon they find themselves fighting for their lives against hordes of zombies. Among the commandos is Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriguez) who almost survives the mission. After the final confrontation with a nasty Licker creature, Alice is captured by Umbrella Corporation and wakes up later at an abandoned hospital in Raccoon City. End movie 1 cliffhanger...

Resident Evil (2002) Trailer:

All roads leading to and from Raccoon City has been sealed in attempt to contain the T-virus outbreak. Alice wakes from her coma in the abandoned city and soon rescues Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) from a bunch of Lickers in a church, exhibiting superhuman strength and agility gained form Umbrella's experimentation.

In exchange for rescuing the daughter of a top Umbrella Corporation scientist, Alice's team is led to an evacuation helicopter but are confronted by an uber-zombie Nemesis. In the ensuing fight, Alice discovers Nemesis is a mutated friend from her escape from The Hive. They team-up briefly against Umbrella forces before Alice escapes onboard a helicopter. Unfortunately, their flight is caught in the nuclear blast shockwave used to cleanse Raccoon City of the infection, which is later covered up as a nuclear plant explosion. The helicopter crashes with Alice apparently killed.

However Alice awakens once again later very much alive at another Umbrella facility and is introduced to Dr. Isaacs (Iain Glen). She soon fights her way out and is timely rescued by Jill & Co. Isaacs lets them escape stating "Project Alice activated"...

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) Trailer:

In the 3rd Resident Evil movie Extinction, the world has been engulfed by the T-Virus and Umbrella develops Alice clones in hopes to find one that displays Alice's superhuman abilities, which now includes telekinesis. Alice roams the country hoping to find survivors and comes into contact with Claire Redfield (Ali Larter), who is leading a group of survivors across the Nevada desert. Their convoy heads for Las Vegas to gather supplies for their long journey to Arcadia in Alaska, which is thought to be a safe haven.

In Las Vegas they are ambushed by super zombies deployed by Dr. Isaacs, killing most of the convoy. During the fight, Dr. Isaacs becomes infected but escapes to an underground Umbrella facility. He begins injecting himself with large doses of anti-virus, mutating into a monstrous Tyrant and then killing Umbrella employees in the facility.

Alice tracks Isaacs to the Umbrella facility and meets the White Queen, the Red Queen's sister A.I., who informs that Alice may hold the cure for the T-virus in her blood. Alice battles the monstrous Isaacs and defeats him with the help of her clone. This chapter ends with a more hopeful note: Alice threatening the new Umbrella chairman, Albert Wesker (Jason O'Mara), amidst a potential army of her clones. Girl power!

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) Trailer:

Afterlife picks up after Exinction with Alice and her clones attacking the Umbrella Headquarters in Tokyo. Wesker escapes and destroys the facility, wiping out all the clones except for the original Alice tailing him aboard his helicopter. During the tussle, Wesker injects Alice with a serum removing her superhuman abilities. Only Alice appears to have survived the helicopter crash.

After failing to find more survivors of the Apocalypse, Alice heads towards the Arcadia. She meets up with Claire and they head to Los Angeles to seek the Arcadia, a cargo tanker. They hook up with other survivors including Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller). Escaping a massive horde of zombies, Alice and the Redfields make it to Arcadia and discover it's an Umbrella ruse to capture human survivors for experimentation.

They also discover Wesker very much alive (no surprise really!) thanks to a mutation of the T-virus which grants him superhuman abilities. A battle royale ensues with Wesker escaping abroad an aircraft. The trio intent to convert Arcadia into a true haven for survivors but is shortly assaulted by a fleet of Umbrella gunships, seemingly led by Jill Valentine. Plot twist!

Released in 2010, Afterlife was marketed as a showcase of 3D cinema experience.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) Trailer:

Following immediately to the cliffhanger of Afterlife, Retribution kicks off with the gunships invasion of Arcadia (in glorious 3D) where Alice is once again captured by Umbrella.

Alice wakes up later in yet another underground Umbrella facility interrogated by Jill Valentine. She soon escapes her cell during a power failure and encounters Ada Wong (Li Bing Bing) who works for Wesker. The Red Queen has taken control of Umbrella and making human clones for simulating virus outbreaks in replica cities from around the world. Alice and Ada then make their way through the various cityscapes battling Umbrella forces and zombies hordes whilst picking up stragglers like a clone of Rain Ocampa, and Alice's simulated daughter, Becky. Meanwhile a rescue team with Leon Kennedy (Johann Urb) met their way down to rendezvous with Alice and subsequently destroy the Umbrella facility.

The final battles takes place on the icy surface between Alice and mind-controlled Jill, as well as an evil Rain clone. The good guys survive, with some casualties, and are taken to Wesker's headquarters in the former White House, Washington D.C.. It's apparently humanity's last stand as the Red Queen sends hordes of T-virus abominations to wipe them out. What a cliffhanger!

Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) Trailer:

Alright so if you didn't quite get all that because reading ain't your cup to tea, then listen to Milla herself recount all 5 movies:

RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER (Rewind)
#ResidentEvilMovie 101. A crash course before you watch The Final Chapter TOMORROW. In cinemas nationwide 19 Jan.
Posted by Sony Pictures on Tuesday, 17 January 2017

The final Resident Evil movie (despite 5 years apart!) picks up immediately after Retribution where Alice is apparently the only survivor of the battle at Washington (sorry Jill, Leon & Becky). At this time there are only 4,472 uninfected humans left on the planet and on the very verge of extinction as Umbrella forces assemble for a final strike to wipe out everyone left around the world. Alice must return to where the nightmare began - The Hive in Raccoon City, to seek a cure / anti-virus. Helping once again is Claire plus a few new allies to put Wesker to rest once and for all.

Seriously, we know they will prevail. It's just how and who makes it to the end this chapter.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017) Trailer:

Alice teams-up again with Claire and some new friends.
