Exodus - Gods and Kings : An awful movie, but a visual wonder

Ridley Scott, the director of Gladiator, one of the movie in everyone's favourite list. Exodus:Gods and Kings is the latest movie from him.

The film is so strong in visual department featuring total Egypt set located at Spain. 3D experience was quite good in the scenes of plagues created by God against Egyptians.

It was poor casting which spoiled the movie and the character building was pathetic. Aaron Paul (that Yo guy from Breaking Bad and Marshal in Need for Speed) and the Batman fame, Christian Bale.

I did watch this film in Ratnamahal, Ongole. I didn't expect such a 3D movie experience. It was overwhelming for me in the first few minutes for the 3D visuals and expected an epic film. But in the end it was very disappointing. The movie dragged with stunning visuals and pathetic script work. There was no emotional attachment to the characters. The movie was concentrated on the visual side forgetting the story side.

After coming out from the theatre and searched for what was happened in the movie on internet. And came to understand the movie title that meaning of Exodus is 'going out'. The Moses (Bale) lead the Hebrews who were working as slaves under the Egyptians across the red sea.

Moses trained the Hebrews to fight against Egyptians when he was sent by the God. The training sequences were good to watch.

MeeBhoomi - A good initiative from AP Govt.

We bring nothing when we come to this world and we take nothing when we died. But still, what we have in the life will be valuable at least for the time we live. Wait, why I'm saying this now, because most of our valuable time is well spent on the land issues. And there is so many things need to happen to know the present owner of the land. Recently AP (Andhra Pradesh) government announces a portal for public to access all the land details.

Who we are? And what we are doing here on the Earth?

Ever wonder who we are? and what exactly we are doing on this Earth, the lonely planet revolving around this furious Sun along with a bunch of bros (I mean planets). Wait, this Earth? Do we have more than one Earth? Who knows, in this humongous vast space, can't we find another Earth? The probability is surely greater than Zero. Humans are evolving like anything. We invented the fire, the wheel and what not? We make our lives easier day by day. Sometimes, I feel we are also like ants. Ants? Yes, Ants. Most of the time, many of us will not observe their movement. Perhaps we are also like ants or any creature and we are being ignored/watched by some of the invisible entities of outer space. Sometimes, I feel we are machines embedded with intelligence. Just like the robots embodied with Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are also programmed and delivered to Earth. The programmed chip may be called as DNA. A question comes in my mind, how come our children ...

Google's Stadia, the GAME changer!

Having a high-end computer or any one of the boxes (Xbox, PlayStation) is not necessary to play high end games in the near future. Recently Google announced a new product from its armory related to gaming at GDC2019, called Stadia . Stadia offers to stream the game in the web browser itself. The game will be loaded and run on the server side, only the video will be played on your computer/mobile. This can be called as Cloud Gaming or Game as a Service (GaaS). All we need is a decent internet connection and probably a subscription for Stadia. No need for any boxes. The traditional premium boxes will be second thought. Since they are expensive for a casual gamer, Stadia will be the best option to experience big games. High tech spec GPUs, high speed processors and all the expensive hardware part will be saved. Hmm, it sounds awesome!! This is another master plan by Google to rule the digital world. Already Google and it's echo system is way more penetrated...
