Mission Impossible 3
In the end to avoid making more awkward hesitation from the guys, i quit asking them further. Hehe, anyway i asked yock, an ex-colleague and his gf for the movie IM3. Thanks mei for the free tickets. It's really worth it.
It's free seating as I think it is some opening ceremony thing for the new Cathay Cinema/Cineplexes in Douby Ghaut. So at abt 8:30 plus, we went up to the theatre. It's nice~ Screen is damn huge. haha~ the architecture of the building is somewhat similar to Cineleisure cos of the atrium that punctured from the top levels all the way down.
The show is incredible and never regret watching it. I will regret if i didnt watch it manz. The plot is sooo exciting, and of cos again I drool or in better word, amazed and apalled by the wonderful technology and gadgets that the IMForce have. I love one especially. The one that can create skin to wear on ur head to look exactly like the person u wanna imitate, and also your voice can change to his. This time the team comprises 4 people including Ethan Hunt. The following description is what they did:
In Italy, a huge ball is held in a luxurious hall of some grand building. The team had to capture a bad guy who will be coming to the ball. The lady from the team dressed up as a rich HK lady in a posh sports car, while the other guy initally intruded the place as a DHL postman and later changed costume into a photographer to get into the gallery, den quickly dressed as the receiving police guard and came out in time to let her female team mate into the hall. She walked into the hall and spotted the evil guy named David within the crowd. She took out her make-up power kit and pretended to touch up while the cover actually took photos of David. These images of his face is sent to another guy at the underground with the tools to make the face skin. From these photographs, they are placed in a 3D software which generate a 3d head of the guy (in reality it is not possible!). From the 3d file, it is transmitted to this wonderful machine that is a circular loop with tracks that have 2 lasering points to laser out the contours of the skin's detail. The next step, this gadget also spray paints to look exactly like the skin colour of David's. Ethan put it on and then had a voice-changing piece of stuff paste on his throat. Later they managed to catch David in the toilet and forced him to say some particular sentences that dun make sense but they actually helped the team to record all his possible sound waves and stuff. Within 30 seconds, the data is sent to that piece of voice transformer and made Ethan also sound like David! Cool huh.
There's lots more cool action and plot and witty ideas the team used. I wanna applause the brainthinkers of this movie. They had good ideas and yea, I wish i have those technology. Ok no more spoilers. :)
