SHU QI was my only Consolation of the night

                        

                       As an Omy blogger, i recently got invited to a blogger movie premiere.

I got a pair of tickets to this new chinese movie, City Under Siege starring heart throb Aaron Kwok and sex bomb Shu Qi.

Without prior knowledge of the show, my friend and I entered into Hall 4, fingers crossed and expecting the worst.

And yes, it was one of my worst.

Engaging the online blogging community is not quite a new marketing tactic. In fact when blogging was prevalent some 3 years back, alot of marketers have started to tap on this platform to reach out to the active and vocal netizens. The idea is to reach out to some opinion leaders and influencers - hopefully altering and changing their attitudes and behaviors towards the marketers' initiatives and messages.

According to asian movie pulse, City under siege is a movie mixed with sci-fi, romance, drama, action and adventure film which story revolves around a group of circus performers who in their treasure-hunting trip in a mountainous area in Malaysia, accidentally released and inhaled some kind of toxic biochemical fumes left by the Japanese during World War ii. Said accident caused the circus performers to undergo different stages of mutation, giving them supernatural powers but eventually transformed them into beast-like creatures.

Sadly, I wasn't too impressed by the storyline. A couple of sub plots were quite unnecessary. I couldn't understand the reason why Aaron Kwok got bloated after being thrown into the sea, subsequently getting back to his shape after a good night sleep.

Shuqi getting the sack due to a sweet young newcomer is kinda predictable and common.

The love story between Aaron and Shuqi was ordinary and anticipated.

There were too many cliff hangers, leaving me frustrated and confused.

My friend and I left 15 minutes before the end of the show as it was just too painful to watch till the end.

Luckily, Shu Qi was the consolation of the night.

She was smouldering hot. too hot in my opinion. Though she might have aged a little, she appeared very natural, enchanting, exotic and alluring. She was the catch of the night, with an angelic face and a bod to die for.

well if i really want to draw some lessons from this movie -

1) We need to appreciate our loved ones and know what we really want in life.
2) We need some supernatural powers/ intervention to help us fulfill certain dreams in life.

Nonetheless, thanks to OMY for extending this pair of tickets to me. This movie is worth 1.5/ 5.

Sorry for the bad review. I just can't give half a mark more.
