It's finally here!!! Angels and Demons takes you through a whirlwind of suspense, drama and mystery . I have just returned from the press screening of the movie where the theatre was filled up with press members (even people I had never seen in these screenings before) as if it was an opening day at the cinemas for a big blockbuster that the film actually is. Although the producers and everybody involved have been tight-lipped about the latest Ron Howard feature film, they had every reason to, to create the great deal of anticipation that it deserves.
Tom Hanks is in his element, way better than what he did with Ron Howard on their last collaboration on The Da Vinci Code. The rest of the cast, including Ewan McGregor, also display a great level of realness from their acting flair that brings out the authenticity of the film.
The suspense, the thrill, the mystery, the controversy, the debate about religion and science is sure to erupt, especially from the assortment religious groups, and particularly the Roman Catholics. The pacy nature of the film makes for riveting viewing. The ability to keep your attention for well over 130 minutes in itself is something not easy to do, but Angels And Demons did it so perfectly and effortlessly. Maybe it was the brilliant photography (cinematography), combined with the exceptional acting, the meaty plot, not to mention the exceptional music scoring and cohesiveness of the scenes from start to finish.
Angels And Demons opens at cinemas nationwide on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. If you enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, you are going to love Angels And Demons. And if you didn't, you are still going love this one the same.
