Alex Rider : Operation Stormbreaker |
At first glance this movie gave me the impression of an exciting spy movie. With the cast including Ewan Mcgregor (Obi-Wan) and Alicia Silverstone, there were at least a few recognisable faces. Surprisingly, Ewan Mcgregor only feature a mere 3 minutes in the whole movie! Why the hell do they advertise his name and picture in every promotional photo of the movie when he only has a 3-minute cameo? Sigh..
Alicia Silverstone was another disappointment. Apart from being his somewhat protective caretaker, she didn't really feature much. This whole movie is pretty much about Alex Rider (Alex Pettyer) who was recruited into the secret service, the MI6, to replace his uncle (Ewan) to foil a sinister plot from Darrius Sayle who invents a super computer, loaded with a deadly virus, all in the pretence of seeking revenge towards his ex-schoolmate, the Prime Minister. Overall, it was not bad, Alex Pettyer looks cute (i'm not gay). Kasthuri admitted it too. Worth watching.
