King of Thorns thoughts and feelings
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
I caught the movie, King of Thorn recently.I was warned that it be confusing, but heck because it was confusing, it was the push i needed to go watch it.
King of Thorns is simply about a virus which turns people into stone, to avoid it some people have chosen to go for cold sleep, being forbto sleep for a infinite amount of time until the virus dies down and which they would be awaken. For some reason, when they are awaken there are monsters all over the place which love to om nom nom on humans. Eventually only 7 survive and the rest revolves around them and their inner problems which hinders the group excaping a number of times.
King of Thorns gives out a slight familar vibe, i sensed similarities to Resident Evil at times. Not to mention the cold sleep idea. But overall there was definately still alot of originality on the story. Yes, the story proved to be confusing at times but hang in there till the end and slowly digest the movie.
In fact if you feel lost. Please do go read the manga. Naturally, movies aren't very good at squeezing the whole story in. There are some mentions in the movie, yet they do not seem to link but its all explained in the manga.
The endings of both the manga and the movie are completely different, so i like to suggest catching both the manga and the movie. Which is better in my opinion? Naturally the manga. But if you want to avoid that disappointed feeling some of my friends got, i highly suggest watching the movie then reading the manga like i did.
