Star Trek 2013: 3D or Not?

Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013)

Screen Shot 2013-05-19 at 2.44.08 PM Wow! This movie just packs a whopping wow!
(of course, being a Star Trek fan i would still have said wow even without seeing it first).

I just think this movie is awesome and really worth the watch (and re-watch), but i won’t make a review just to avoid writing a post that would probably sound like a screeching fan girl. Instead, let me just answer a very simple question which i proposed at the very title:

Should i watch Star Trek (2013) in 3D or not?

I will let the the font size compensate the lack of details to justify my answer:

3D or not? NO.

but, you should watch it in iMAX!
iMAX or iMAX 3D is fine, so long as it is iMAX.

Yes, you heard (or read) it right. You should catch this movie in iMAX but not for the 3D effect. Watch it there because of it’s sheer grandiose. The movie just boasts a ton of epic scenes that a regular cinema simply won’t be able to justify.

The 3D is really nice, especially at the first few minutes in the movie but you’d soon lose notice of it after awhile. That’s not a problem as the action scenes, fantastic CGI and grand scale of things (it is after all a movie with a great mind over outer space) takes over and then some.

That’s it, i said i won’t post a review (other than the 3D aspect). Now, if you don’t mind, i have to go back and revisit my TOS: Wrath of Khan.

Happy watching! Oh, and..

Live long and prosper!

How to get an OEC at NAIA

IMPORTANT: This post is already outdated.  Please follow the new instructions here:  How to get OEC Online First, let me make it clear: you can only do this if you satisfy the following conditions: 1. You’re an OFW (currently and ‘officially’ employed abroad) 2. Will be visiting the Philippines for 5 days or less. The OFW counters at the airports would only give you clearance (called emergency OEC) when you have your work visa and would be going back to your country of employment within 5 days. Anything other than that, you should go to POEA offices or distribution centers (i’ve read they have one in SM Manila and one in Trinoma).

If you’re planning on a short vacation to Japan, and you’re residing in Singapore the process of getting a visa is actually so much easier here than in Manila. Well, I guess that applies to a lot of things.. but that’s another topic! Since it’s supposed to be that easy, I won’t keep you waiting. This guide applies to you if: You’re a Filipino (or maybe other nationalities required to get a Japan visa) currently residing in Singapore (PR, student/dependent pass, or work permit). Filipinos are required to get a visa when entering Japan.

Better to check the embassy website for details. You are currently in Singapore. What?! I need to make s
