Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts. Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.
Mission Impossible (1996)
We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family.
What's it all about?
Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time.
The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured.
The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom ...
Advantages: Breathtaking scenery, variety, lots of culture, great shopping Disadvantages: Very noicsy, very polluted within city, wreckless driving
vehicles over take each other ALL the time! NB: People drive on the right hand side in Vietnam but you will see that many drivers drive on whichever side of the road they like, or in the middle.
It can be a very scary experience for some, so if you are a nervous traveller, I suggest you either sit in the middle and don?t look in front of you?or sit to the right hand side and stare out of the window. You could close your eyes too (but you might miss out on seeing the stunning houses and local culture and spectacular scenery).
But honestly, the traffic and roads are the main negative things that I can think of in Vietnam?but everything else is?WOW! (in a good sense) I just thought I should start you with the disadvantages, as I think my tips will come in handy?so you shouldn?t be TOO shocked?as maybe now you can be a bit more ...
Advantages: So bad you might laugh a bit, kids might like it(although they'll probably get bored with the lack of action) Disadvantages: Numbskullish screenplay, dire acting, weak special effects, sluggish pace, no thrills, no tension, no excitement...and it goes on

As a little background for the uninitiated it should be pointed out that the ?Wing Commander? series is a very successful franchise of video games in which the Earth is in conflict with an alien race and you take control of a spaceship and fly missions to obliterate your enemies. There is quite a strong storyline running throughout which outlines the history and the politics of the war and detailed battle strategies and actors such as the likes of Mark Hamill(Luke Skywalker in Star Wars), Malcolm McDowell and erm, Ginger Lynn (grin) have graced the cut scenes in between which are incidentally also directed by the director of this movie. Therein lies the problem sadly, because whereas other movies based upon computer games have recognised the need to actually do some a little different other than to extend the 2 minute cut-scenes out to ...
