The moment I stepped into KLPAC, the jakun in me emerged as I walked around, looking everywhere, wanting to touch everything. I really should come here more often as everything is just so, so, so, erm, pretty? You can't help but to feel an aura of sophistication with a hint of tradition emitted when looking at its design and architecture. I especially liked the bed of rocks in a layer of water beside the entrance. Must have something like that in my house next time, if I can ever afford my own crib, that is. And the screening hall, so colourful that it brought out the child in me, weeeeeee!
Ticket to the ultimate truth @ Pentas 1.
I have to admit, after staring blankly at the screen for hours, that I absolutely, have no idea at all in writing movie reviews. I should seek professional help but that would have to come later...
An Inconvenient Truth basically is a documentary film that tells of how global warming is affecting the Earth and its population now, as well as the future, supposingly there's any, and its causes. The thing that make AIT stands out is the ability (of the director) to shape a topic so mundane and ordinary, I dare say, into something so visually dramatic, that it effortlessly install a sense of shock and awe in its audience. Through-out the movie, numerous times, it felt as though someone swung a sledgehammer onto your head, knocking some sense of realization into it.
Very corourful seats. Somehow reminded me of musical chairs.
I would take the melting of icebergs in the North and South pole for example; most of us know that it would lead to a rise in sea level, affecting lower-laying areas. Period. Wham! Sledgehammer made contact. What we fail to learn the severity of its impact, worldwide. And that it is already happening, slowly, but gradually.

The film is supported purely with nothing but hard facts, scientific findings and graphical evidences presented by Al Gore, through one of his many global warming talks around the globe. The message its trying to deliver, each and everyone of us should start playing our part to prevent what is already happening from becoming worse. On a different note, in my personal opinion, the only flaw in the movie should be all the clips depicting the life of Al Gore that comes in every now and then, kinda disrupted the flow. And also the fact that I can't help but to feel bits of political schemes here and there, though minimal. Maybe its just me. Anyway, it received a round of deserving applause from the audience in the end, so to let you know.
The girlfriend and I, just to show that I was really there, haha.
All in all, though not action packed, nor ladened with special effects, nor mind-boggling scripts, nor anything along the line of highly entertaining, I would still recommend you to watch it!
Countdown: 7 days to go...
