Plot Summary: The film takes place six months following the conclusion of StarCraft: Fury of the Swarm


The film opens with a shot of space that is empty for a few seconds before slowly moving left to right across the screen we see a fleet of battlecruisers on the move. After a few shots showing the large fleet we zoom in on one and see a painted logo: The United Nations logo, only it says “United Earth Directorate.”

On the bridge of the ship, a record player plays an old Italian opera as an elderly man watches space out the main window. A second, middle-aged man enters the bridge to tell the old man, who he calls “Admiral DuGalle” (von Sydow) they are finally nearing the Koprulu Sector. Admiral DuGalle is pleased that their journey is nearing an end and tells the second man, who he addresses as “Alexei” (Coster-Waldau) to activate the fleetwide broadcast system. Captain Alexei Stukov activates a computer console and says the broadcast will be up in a moment. As they wait, DuGalle asks Stukov how he feels about being a part of humanity’s greatest expedition in centuries. Stukov says this is an opportunity like no other but says he has concerns about Earth rushing things and not sending a true occupation force. DuGalle says that the leaders back home made a choice to send a fleet sooner rather than later, which meant there was less time to assemble forces. Stukov also has concerns about these alien races their spy probes have detected and whether the fleet will be able to fight on multiple fronts. DuGalle understands the concern but says all foes have a weakness and their scientists have been pouring over the probe data to find the weaknesses of these Protoss and Zerg. “My dear Alexei you worry too much” DuGalle says. “Do not underestimate these creatures, but do not fear them either, they are mortal like the rest of us.”

The broadcast system is now ready and DuGalle addresses the whole of the fleet. He says that almost all of the members have been in the dark about the expedition’s purpose, but now it is time to reveal everything. He says that as the history books say, over two centuries ago tens of thousands of rebels and terrorists and their families were exiled to a corner of the galaxy for their crimes and for those centuries, probes watched and reported as the descendants of those criminals forged a new life and new societies, only to repeat in their cycle of violence and oppression for decades. DuGalle says that while sad, it was their choice to go into exile and Earth was content to let them destroy one another. But a little over a year ago all of that changed when one scout probe reported something new: proof of extraterrestrial life, and that life was destroying worlds inhabited by humans. DuGalle says that as the reports came in they showed that there were two alien races in that corner of the galaxy and the collateral damage of their war was killing hundreds of thousands of humans. Earth had to act, for though these Terrans are descended from criminals, they are still humans, and they must be protected from alien aggression. Therefore Earth has sent a fleet of its finest ships, soldiers, and machines to the Koprulu Sector to claim it for the United Earth Directorate. “Our Terran brothers and sisters will be welcomed back into the fold with open arms and any alien who dares menace or interfere with us shall be destroyed. This piece of the galaxy shall belong to humanity!” DuGalle signs off as several shots show various soldiers and marines cheering. “Take us in” DuGalle tells Stukov, who salutes and departs as DuGalle goes back to looking out the window. We see a wide shot of the fleet accelerating towards the Koprulu Sector before the screen fades to black.

STARCRAFT: BROOD WAR

The setting changes to Aiur, the Protoss homeworld, which in the aftermath of the Zerg invasion is mostly a barren wasteland. We go to the main Protoss citadel where the main leaders have gathered, as well as humans Jim Raynor (Brolin) and his second in command Matt Horner (Pitt), who had allied their rebel forces with the Protoss to defeat the Overmind. The Protoss present include Zeratul (Hamm), a Dark Templar, Artanis (Johnson), who is now the new Protoss Praetor, Judicator Aldaris (Welliver), the leader of the Protoss conservatives, and Fenix (Momoa). From the discussion we learn that the victory of the Overmind was a pyrrhic one and the result was tens of millions of mindless, uncontrollable Zerg began rampaging across the planet, destroying many cities left unprotected in the bid to destroy the Overmind. The result is that the Protoss have sustained immense losses to their population and the planet’s environment is a wreck. Artanis says they may have to evacuate, a suggestion Aldaris resists, saying Aiur is their home and the Protoss have nowhere to go. Zeratul then says that the Protoss remnants will be welcome on Shakuras, the world of the Dark Templar. Aldaris is reluctant, since the Dark Templar are Protoss exiled for their beliefs, but Zeratul says that the time for reconciliation has come and the Dark Templar would gladly shelter their brethren. With the Zerg swarms running rampant, the best way to get to Shakuras is via the ancient Warp Gate near the ruins of Antioch. Zeratul says that the psionic energies of the gate will attract the Zerg, so they cannot use it until they are ready to take the remaining Protoss population through it.

The meeting breaks up, Aldaris, still a bit distrustful, and we linger with Raynor and Matt who wonder where their small force of Terran warships and soldiers fits into all this. Zeratul approaches to talk and Raynor says he doesn’t think going to Shakuras is the right thing for him and his men. Zeratul understands the feelings and says the humans are more than welcome to come with the Protoss if they change their minds. He asks them though to stay to help protect the warp gate and Raynor agrees, saying he doesn’t plan to run out now after all they’ve done together. We also see a short scene with Artanis and Fenix discussing Artanis’ promotion.

We briefly go to Char, to the volcanic citadel of Kerrigan (Mara), a Human with psionic abilities who was captured by the Zerg and infested by the Overmind, mutated into a Zerg/Human hybrid with even greater abilities and a desire for vengeance and violence. We see her in meditation, disturbed by thoughts and voices of fellow Zerg leaders in her mind, speaking of how the Zerg were not meant to function without a central being in control. We also hear memories of the Overmind speak to her, reminding her that she was its most important creation, and she will shape the destinies of many as she acts. We then hear Kerrigan’s thoughts and she realizes something is amiss with the Zerg and she must find out what. She summons a Mutalisk and flies off into the sooty skies.

Cut to the UED fleet, now in the Koprulu Sector. Stukov meets with DuGalle to inform him of preliminary scouting reports, which describe how the Terran Confederacy was ravaged by Zerg attacks and rebellion and is now replaced by the Terran Dominion, controlled by Arcturus Mengsk. DuGalle says that before they can deal with the alien threat, they must unite humanity into a single force. Stukov points out that the Dominion’s capital of Korhal is too strongly defended for an attack right now to be prudent, so they must weaken the Dominion’s forces first. DuGalle agrees and tells Stukov to find such opportunities. We then see a short scene with Stukov interacting with colleagues in the crew, showing him as a person with faith in the mission and concern for his men.

Back on Aiur, rapid preparations have been made and the Protoss are ready to evacuate. Zeratul uses Dark Templar energies to activate the Warp Gate and whatever Protoss that can’t be evacuated via space transport are ordered to proceed through via whatever transportation is available. Raynor’s human forces remain in defensive positions, along with a few battalions of Protoss warriors led by Fenix. After bidding farewell to Raynor, Zeratul leads the Protoss through the gate with Aldaris while Artanis coordinates the travel of thousands of Protoss via what spaceships they have left on a course for Shakuras. Everything goes smooth at first, but Fenix senses something amiss and realizes it is hordes of Zerg attracted by the energies of the Warp Gate. He and Raynor plan defensive positions and hold off an initial Zerg charge, and then communicate through the Gate to Zeratul, who tells them to hold the Gate for as long as possible. We see Raynor, Matt, and Fenix prepare a contingency plan to destroy the warp gate to prevent the Zerg from rushing through it to Shakuras and then evacuating by what spaceships the Terrans have with them.

We go through the Warp Gate and see Shakuras for the first time. It is a rocky desert world with scattered vegetation. Aldaris comments it doesn’t look much better than Aiur, but Zeratul chides him as there are no Zerg on the planet. He asks Aldaris to look after the Protoss while he goes to meet the leader of the Dark Templar.

Back on Aiur, a second, far larger wave of Zerg is incoming and a large number of Protoss still have to make it through the Gate. The combined Protoss/Terran forces hold them off with superior firepower for a short while, but the defenses are in danger of crumbling. Fenix communicates through the Gate and tells Aldaris they cannot hold for much longer and Aldaris sadly agrees to the plan to destroy the Warp Gate, knowing it will strand thousands of Protoss on the other side to keep Shakuras safe. Raynor has Matt execute a strafing run with their command ship, which explodes the Warp Gate. The Zerg cannot get through, but now they are turning their full attention to the Protoss and Terran forces. Things look grim, especially when Matt reports that Zerg transports and drop pods are arriving in-system, but then suddenly many of the Zerg grow docile and cease attacking. Raynor is contacted over the radio and is stunned to hear Kerrigan’s voice, asking to meet. Raynor doesn’t trust her, but she explains that there’s a bigger problem than their recent conflict.

Leaving Fenix to coordinate organizing the surviving Protoss and humans, Raynor goes to his command ship, which docks with a bulbous Zerg vessel. Kerrigan enters, the crew all nervous, and comments it’s good she arrived when she did since Raynor was in trouble. Raynor tells her to cut to the chase and she tells him that though she is now part of the Zerg, she has no desire to harm him or other humans or Protoss unnecessarily, especially considering new developments. She says that a new Overmind has been born, a claim Raynor scoffs at. Kerrigan says he’ll believe what his own eyes see and grabs one of his hands and puts it to her temple, Raynor’s eyes flash as he sees a memory:

Kerrigan flies it over the rocky terrain until she reaches the source of her disquiet. She sees several Zerg cerebrates, large bulbous wormlike creatures, merging together in a grotesque psionic event that in a mass of energy and flesh reassembles them into a new creature, a large thing of clawed tentacles surrounding a mound of flesh with a single protruding eye. Kerrigan has a look of shock and dismay on her face, since watchers of the franchise would realize that the cerebrates have just spawned a new Overmind, albeit one in its infancy. Immediately the Zerg on Char begin to react, submitting to its initial waves of control. Kerrigan’s own Mutalisk tried to throw her from its back but she was able to force it to land. Zerg around her began to attack and she barely retreated to her own fortress, where she was able to control only a fraction of her previous forces and escape from Char with them.

Back in the present, Kerrigan tells Raynor that the new Overmind is young and for now only controls the Zerg on Char, but as it ages its influence will spread and it will control more and more Zerg and it will resume its assault on humanity and the Protoss. Raynor says then they’ll have to stop it, but he doesn’t trust Kerrigan. Kerrigan understands, but says mutual survival is an incentive to cooperate. She extends a hand and reluctantly, Raynor shakes it.

We return to Shakuras and see Zeratul meet Raszagal (Davis), Matriarch of the Dark Templar. Raszagal commends Zeratul for helping to destroy the Overmind and says she senses their old captors on the planet. Zeratul says that Aiur has been lost and that it is time for the Protoss and Dark Templar to reunite. Raszagal, contemplative, agrees, saying that after all this loss only unity will save the Protoss, especially given that the death of the Overmind is only temporary. Zeratul is taken aback but Raszagal says she senses its rebirth, like a new cancer slowly reforming cells and snaking out across space. After a moment of quiet thought, Zeratul senses it too and realizes she is right. He asks what can be done and Raszagal says they must secure Shakuras to ensure it does not share Aiur’s fate. “But first” she says, “I must meet our new houseguests.”

We return to the UED fleet. Stukov is looking at data on a tablet device when a subordinate informs him that one of their scout parties has encountered a human force willing to aid them. Stukov opens a video comm channel and speaks with that force’s leader, Samir Duran (Reddick). Duran says his men were soldiers for the Confederacy and want to take down the Dominion for vengeance. Stukov says he thinks the UED can provide that.

Cut to the UED fleet orbiting an uninhabited system and Duran being brought to DuGalle’s office. Duran says his men can provide information about Dominion defenses. Stukov is a bit wary of some of Duran’s claims, but DuGalle says they should be able to work together for mutual benefit. He asks Duran what he knows about the Zerg. Duran says that the Dominion, using Confederate research, has developed a Psi Disrupter, which can interfere with the psionic links used to control most Zerg creatures. Stukov says it will be a useful tool, but DuGalle says they will destroy it, since orders from Earth are to find a way to pacify and control the Zerg, and the Disrupter could interfere with that agenda. Stukov tries to argue but DuGalle overrules him after Duran says the Zerg are susceptible to mental control. Duran says the Psi Disrupter is on Braxis and DuGalle orders Stukov to take a task force and Duran there while he begins the main offensive against the Dominion.

We then see a short scene with DuGalle recording an audio diary entry addressed to his wife about his hopes and fears about the coming invasion.

We see Shakuras where the Protoss leaders formally meet those of the Dark Templar. Aldaris is wary of Raszagal because of past history but she treats him kindly. She proclaims that from this day forward the Protoss and Dark Templar will be reunited and strive towards the future together, as it was in the ancient days. Later, Artanis arrives with his fleet of evacuation ships, bringing the remaining Aiur Protoss to Shakuras. He meets with Zeratul, who informs him about Raynor and Fenix having to destroy the portal. Artanis wants to go back to Aiur for them but Zeratul says that they will either be dead or gone from Aiur by the time Artanis returns. Zeratul also says that until Shakuras is secure, they must keep all departures to a minimum.

We then get a scene with Artanis, Zeratul, Aldaris, and Raszagal talking about the next steps for the Protoss. Raszagal says that with the reborn Overmind the Zerg will be searching for the Protoss and their numbers cannot withstand another massive assault right now. She says that there is an ancient Xel’Naga temple on the planet that can channel massive amounts of psionic energy to wipe out any Zerg who come to the planet. To activate the temple they need to acquire the Uraj Crystal from the world of Braxis. Zeratul will lead the retrieval mission.

We see a scene with Raynor talking with Matt and Fenix about their new ally. All three don’t trust her, but also don’t see any other option. Raynor says he still believes that part of the old Kerrigan still exists. Fenix admires Raynor’s faith but says that if he is wrong, Kerrigan will use that faith to manipulate him. Raynor says if Kerrigan plays them false he’ll kill her. Kerrigan then communicates with them via a video screen and says that she has sensed a disturbance occurring near Braxis and she wants to investigate it. They make plans to send a recon force there with Raynor and Kerrigan.

A UED task force arrives in orbit over Braxis and the Dominion defenses are totally caught off-guard. Stukov is in charge of the attack and Duran is with him and points out that the Dominion shall have reinforcements here in a few hours. Stukov says they better move quick then.

We see the UED land troops at the main population and military centers of Braxis, which is an arctic world, Duran leading a point team to secure the old Confederate outpost holding the Psi Disrupter. Duran’s team uses special forces tactics to neutralize the exterior guards.

A small Protoss force arrives near Braxis with Zeratul and Artanis and they observe the UED fleet. Zeratul and Artanis don’t know about the UED and assume it is the Dominion. Zeratul senses the presence of the Uraj crystal but also realizes that its energies have attracted a small brood of Zerg to nest by it. They will have to go in with force to destroy the Zerg, which risks drawing the attention of the humans. We then see Zeratul landing with a battalion of warriors with Dark Templar support, while Artanis leads a squadron of fighter-bombers for air support. They zero in on the location and begin a combined-arms assault.

Back in orbit, Stukov gets word from Duran that his team has reached the research center and is preparing to enter it. Stukov, looking a bit troubled, gives the order for Duran to capture it. Alarms then sound as sensors report a Dominion task force leaving warp just beyond Braxis’ gravity well. The commander of that task force, General Edmund Duke (Huston), assumes the UED is Confederate remnants and other rebels and demands their surrender. Stukov, sneering a little bit, informs Duke via video screen that his force is from Earth and means to take over the sector so it can be “run properly.” Duke says a few insults and says Mengsk and his Dominion will never submit. Stukov replies “we shall see.” The two fleets then move in for a battlecruiser on battlecruiser space battle.

As that chaos begins, another force arrives at Braxis: Raynor and Kerrigan’s team, on a small squadron of shuttles. They’re confused by the space battle until a technician intercepts some transmissions and they learn one fleet is from Earth. Raynor is very surprised and Kerrigan briefly shows a dark grimace before masking it. Kerrigan tells Raynor that there are two things of interest on the planet, her senses tell her, but she can’t tell what they are. She says she will go investigate one, and Raynor will look at the other. Raynor is a bit miffed he has nothing more to go on but says he’ll check it out.

We briefly see Duran and his men taking over the research facility with covert tactics, until resistance is quelled. He enters a chamber and sees the Psi Disrupter, a large pulsating energy device that is the size of three men. He contacts Stukov and says the device is secure and ready for demolition. We see Stukov looking out a viewport at the shattered wreckage of the Dominion fleet and he responds via comm to delay the demolition as the Admiral wants Stukov to handle it personally.

We see the Protoss force fight its way to the Uraj crystal, driving off the Zerg nesting around it. It will take a little time to harvest it and Artanis remarks that it was easier than expected. Zeratul however senses a powerful Zerg presence and says it isn’t over yet. He cloaks himself and searches for the presence and realizes it is cloaked as well and standing by the crystal (which is the size of a small house). Zeratul demands the presence reveal itself and it does, revealing Kerrigan. “I see you Protoss have found a new toy” she comments. Zeratul pulls out his psi blades and demands a reason for not killing her right now. Kerrigan replies that she has several.

Raynor and a small team land where Kerrigan directed them, which is near the old Confederate research facility. After watching Duran and his team leave, Raynor and a few escorts move in to investigate. Inside, Stukov is staring at the Psi Disrupter with his company of personal bodyguards guarding the place. “You know what to do” he tells the leader. We cut back to Raynor and his team inside the facility and after some turns they find the Psi Disrupter Chamber. One of Stukov’s men sees them and opens fire and a short firefight breaks out before Stukov shouts “cease fire! You’ll damage it!” Raynor realizes his men are heavily outnumbered and they hide around the corner of the entrance. Stukov calls out and asks the attackers if they’re Dominion forces. Raynor laughs and replies that he hates the Dominion and Mengsk. “Old Confederacy then” Stukov guesses, earning another laugh from Raynor who says he rebelled against them. Stukov smiles and comments that “you seem to be quite the anarchist then, Mr.…” to which Raynor gives his name. Stukov says that if Raynor is no friend of the Dominion or the Confederacy, he should join them to give the sector the government it deserves. Raynor replies that he’s not so sure Earth would be any better a ruler than Mengsk. He asks what the “contraption” in the room is and Stukov replies it’s a way of fighting Zerg. Raynor says “then you best hold onto it, since no weapon that can fight the Zerg should be thrown out.” Stukov has an odd look on his face briefly but then tells Raynor that since they’re currently at an impasse, if Raynor withdraws his men now, he won’t give chase. “Fair enough” Raynor says. “Until next time” Stukov replies. Raynor and his men pull back and go to their shuttle while Stukov gives his men another look and says “back to work.”

Raynor and his men are heading back into orbit when he is contacted by Kerrigan, who tells him that she is going to be going on a trip with some “old friends.” Raynor asks if he and others should come along and she replies that it’s not necessary since she has a different mission for him, since it seems the UED is going to be an enemy as well. Raynor asks what the mission is. Kerrigan replies that he’s not going to like it.

Back at the UED fleet, Stukov contacts DuGalle to inform him that Braxis is secure, the Psi Disrupter taken care of, and the Dominion pushed back. DuGalle is pleased and tells Stukov to return to the main force and bring Duran with him, since they have a major operation to plan. Stukov asks what and DuGalle says they cannot waste time, so they must now “cut the head off of the Dominion beast.”

We change scene to Augustgrad, the capital of Korhal, the center of Dominion space. Arcturus Mengsk (Hurt), Emperor of the Terran Dominion, uneasily listens to General Duke’s report of the UED attack on Braxis. Duke recommends a full counterattack with the might of the Dominion but Mengsk replies that would empty their defenses and play into UED hands. “They will be coming here, for me” he says. “They need their victory over me to be quick, so that they can assimilate my forces into their own to defend against the aliens at our doorstep.” Duke nods and says they should assemble the primary defense fleets around Korhal. Mengsk agrees and adds that he has worked far too hard for his crown to let it be ripped away so easily.

The Protoss force is on its way back to Shakuras and Zeratul and Artanis talk. Artanis is dead-set against having Kerrigan travel with them, saying she cannot be trusted. Zeratul agrees about not trusting her, but says that what she has told them corroborates with what they know about the new Overmind. “Ignoring her is a risk we cannot take, not if even a fraction of what she says is true.” Zeratul then goes to Kerrigan, who is sitting in an isolated corner of their ship, and says that if she brings harm to Shakuras, she will not survive long enough to leave. Kerrigan says she does not intend any harm, only to work together against a common enemy. Zeratul replies “we shall see.”

They return to Shakuras and go to the main citadel, where Aldaris and Raszagal wait. Aldaris is outraged by Kerrigan’s presence and wants her killed, but Raszagal says they should listen to what she has to say. Kerrigan tells them what she knows of the new Overmind and says that something on Char is accelerating its growth, making it mature faster. “The Khalis” Raszagal says. Artanis and Aldaris are confused and Zeratul explains that the Khalis crystal was an old Dark Templar artifact that channeled immense amounts of Dark Templar energy, but it was lost hundreds of years ago in the exodus from Aiur. He says that it must have ended up on Char and because Dark Templar and Zerg wield the same psionic essence, it must have been a beacon to the new Overmind to grow near and absorb its energy. Raszagal says that in order to delay the formation of the new Overmind, they must destroy or remove the Khalis. Zeratul says that such an attack will no doubt anger the Overmind and it may retaliate against them and recommends focusing on readying the Uraj Crystal so the Xel’naga temple can be ready soon. Raszagal says that the Xel’naga temple only protects Shakuras, whereas the new Overmind threatens everywhere. “Any damage we can do to it we must!” she says. Aldaris, wary, says he will take no further part in these discussions and storms off. Zeratul and Artanis reluctantly agree with Raszagal and Kerrigan’s plan.

Later, Artanis meets Aldaris and the two talk briefly. Aldaris says any alliance with Kerrigan is a mistake and he thinks they are playing into her hands. Artanis says he does not trust Kerrigan, but he believes they cannot risk ignoring the Zerg. Aldaris says that if they simply focused on defending Shakuras, they would soon be impregnable to the Zerg. He says he has worries about Raszagal’s state of mind. Artanis asks what he means but Aldaris replies “it’s probably nothing.”

Raynor returns to his base of operations in a sour mood. Fenix and Matt are waiting for him and ask where Kerrigan is. Raynor says she’s off gallivanting with some Protoss and that they have other problems to worry about. He briefly explains what happened at Braxis and says that now they have another enemy to worry about. Matt senses something else is wrong and tells Raynor to spit it out. Raynor says they will like this almost as little as he does.

The Protoss expedition to Char launches, meeting at a rendezvous point a small swarm of Zerg under Kerrigan’s control. Their presence makes Zeratul and Artanis uneasy but Zeratul says he believes they have nothing to fear since Kerrigan needs the new Overmind hampered, otherwise she risks being forcibly controlled by its mental powers. They plan a way of getting to the Khalis with minimal risk.

We see DuGalle and Stukov in a war center, planning out the blockade of Korhal. Though the Dominion has technically more men and ships, the UED plans to use technological advances to isolate and fragment key defenses to allow for a quick strike at the Dominion capital. DuGalle asks Stukov if he can feel the excitement running through the fleet. Stukov says he can and that the men will be thrilled when Korhal falls. DuGalle nods and adds that Korhal is just the beginning, since “it is one thing to capture a sector, but another to hold it.” Stukov nods. DuGalle asks him for his opinion on Duran. Stukov says Duran has served them well so far, but he is technically a traitor to the current government and says “I will always suspect that a traitor can betray a second time.” DuGalle says Stukov’s concern is valid, but that if Duran proves himself on Korhal’s surface, then he should be trusted.

The Protoss and Kerrigan arrive at Char and Kerrigan uses her Zerg abilities to manipulate orbital sentries into ignoring their approach. As they near the planet, Zeratul is on the flagship’s bridge when he suddenly experiences a wave of visions of destruction, chaos, and rampaging Zerg that causes him to nearly collapse. Artanis steadies him and Zeratul says he can feel the Overmind’s presence, strongly. He says that unlike the previous one, this one feels less restrained, more feral. “In a way, it will be more dangerous, as it will lack caution, it must be stopped in any way we can manage.”

The force lands on Char on a plateau overlooking a lava plain. The plan is to launch a precision aerial strike that destroys the Khalis crystal, with the psionic backlash from its destruction presumably sending the Overmind into a temporary remission. Artanis leads the aerial strike, several squadrons of Protoss fighters with a few groups of Zerg fliers loyal to Kerrigan providing support. To distract the Zerg from their approach, Zeratul meditates and attempts to contact the Overmind, and finds the contact to be disturbing, as this Overmind lacks the intelligence or rationality of its predecessor. Still, the Overmind latches on to Zeratul’s presence, sending some Zerg to attack, which has the rest of its protectors ignore the airstrike. The airstrike commences, blowing up the cavern system holding the Khalis, crushing it into dust. This causes a severe jolt of pain to incapacitate Zeratul as the Overmind violently severs its connection to him as the psionic ripple from the Khalis causes it to become dormant. This has the benefit of stalling the Zerg attack long enough for Artanis and the others to return and the task force to flee Char. Back on their ship, Artanis, pleased, says it is done. Zeratul replies that he fears things will get worse first. Artanis is confused but Kerrigan says “you connected with it, didn’t you.” Zeratul says he did, to keep its unfocused mind occupied with a single presence to hide Artanis from its sight. “However, as with the last time on Char, the connection works both ways. It drew from my memories and knowledge, and it may know the location of Shakuras.” Artanis realizes that this means the Overmind may send a horde of Zerg to attack the planet, which makes readying the Xel’naga temple of paramount importance.

Back at Shakuras we see a brief scene with Aldaris and Raszagal as he tries to dissuade her from any further cooperation with Kerrigan. Aldaris says he was wrong to distrust the Dark Templar in the previous war, but he is not wrong to believe Kerrigan will only bring harm to them all. Raszagal snaps at him, saying that Kerrigan so far has done more to help their race than Aldaris just standing around complaining. She storms off and Aldaris looks perturbed.

At the staging area for Raynor and Fenix’s forces, Raynor’s flagship is being prepared for departure. Fenix is accompanying Raynor but not Matt. Matt asks to come with Raynor but is told that the resistance needs a leader in case this mission goes bad. Matt says Raynor doesn’t even want to do this mission and asks why he is going along with it. Raynor sighs and says he can’t believe “she” would ask him to do this unless there was a good reason for it. Raynor shakes Matt’s hand and stands with Fenix on the bridge as the ship departs and accelerates to warp.

The UED main fleet arrives at Korhal and a major fleet battle ensues between it and the Dominion forces. As this goes on in the background, Duran and a team of special forces soldiers use a covert insertion to arrive on Korhal’s surface to sabotage the primary power generators for the planetary defense grid. Doing so would leave the entire planet exposed once the Dominion fleet is taken care of.

For several minutes we cut between the space battle and Duran’s covert mission, which ends with him rigging a nuclear generator to blow (normally, not nuclear) and the explosion causes the main defense shields and ground-to-space weapons for Korhal’s defenses to shut down. This is the go-ahead for the landing of the UED forces as the Dominion fleet gets pushed back. On the flagship, DuGalle gives the order for a direct assault on Augustgrad, the capital city.

In transit back to Shakuras, Artanis confers with Zeratul. He says there is no further reason for Kerrigan to be with them. Zeratul says Artanis is right to worry, but says that it is easier to watch Kerrigan for treachery when she is near them.

Meanwhile, Kerrigan is meditating in silence when suddenly a flash vision of millions of Zerg on the move rattles her. She stands as Zeratul comes near and asks if he just felt it. Zeratul says that he did and Shakuras has little time before it comes under assault. Zeratul asks Kerrigan what she plans to do once Shakuras is secure. She replies that the new Overmind remains a threat to her independence and she will do what she must to keep it.

Back at Korhal, Mengsk meets with General Duke to discuss the state of Korhal’s defenses: they are falling, with precision UED strikes crippling key sectors, allowing for an advance on the capital within the next day. Duke tells Mengsk he must seriously consider retreat, as they were not prepared for such a massive assault by their own kind. Mengsk is irate and refuses, saying he worked so hard to dismantle the Confederacy and create his own empire and he will not let it all be for nothing. He says he will die fighting rather than concede his homeworld to these invaders. Duke calms him down and says “I’ve never been one to run from a scrap, but in this case the saying ‘live to fight another day’ applies here. You can’t beat these bastards if you’re dead.” This advice sobers Mengsk and he agrees to retreat, but says the UED blockade is thick and it will be hard to break through. Duke says “the boys know what they’re up against. If it means the Dominion survives another day, they know what’s expected.”

DuGalle and Stukov stand over a large table that shows holographic representations of Korhal and the various positions of orbiting fleets and armies on the ground, which are currently stationed in the uninhabited deserts a couple hundred miles from Augustgrad. An image of Duran appears saying he is ready to lead a team into Augustgrad to secure the palace while the main attack occurs. DuGalle tells him to begin. He talks with Stukov, saying that he expected more resistance from this Dominion. Stukov, a bit less confident, says that he will wait to celebrate. A junior officer rushes over to say that Arcturus Mengsk wishes to speak with them via hologram. DuGalle says this will be interesting. Mengsk’s image appears and says he wishes to discuss conditions of surrender, offering to concede ultimate sovereignty to Earth so long as he continues to rule the Dominion locally. Stukov pulls DuGalle aside, whispering that Mengsk is too confident, he has to have some scheme. DuGalle tells Stukov he’s worrying too much, it’s just one last gasp of bravado. DuGalle turns to Mengsk and laughs and says Mengsk is in no position to set terms of the bargain and says he will accept only one thing: Unconditional surrender and Mengsk set before a firing squad for his crimes. Mengsk smiles and says he thought that would be the answer, so he prepared a farewell gift for DuGalle’s men. Immediately alarms begin sounding on the ship and an officer tells DuGalle and Stukov that several dozen nuclear missiles have launched towards the desert plains. Mengsk’s image says “enjoy the fireworks” before shutting down. Stukov immediately begins coordinating an interception effort with ground radars providing targeting data for orbiting ships to align in orbit with to shoot the missiles down. It is a tense couple of minutes and the result is that the vast majority of the missiles are shot down, but a handful do get through and destroy tens of thousands of men and war machines, though it is still a small fraction of the UED’s overall force. DuGalle laughs bitterly and says “You see Alexei, just a last gasp of defiance.” Before Stukov can response more alarms sound and the two are informed that a squadron of battlecruisers have entered the atmosphere from Augustgrad and are making a blockade run. The repositioning of the fleet to shoot down the missiles has left a gap the Dominion ships may be able to get through.

The UED fleet maneuvers to intercept and it appears that they will close a net around the fleeing Dominion ships, barely. DuGalle sends a message to the ships telling them to power down or he will take no prisoners. Mengsk’s voice replies his men will die first. As the two forces begin trading fire, Stukov alerts DuGalle to a warp field distortion: Several human and Protoss ships appear and immediately begin firing on the nearest UED ships, disabling a few. This breaks a hole in the UED intercept and most of Mengsk’s ships get past them. Mengsk and Duke are shocked to get a message from Jim Raynor giving them details on jump coordinates via warp prism. Mengsk says via communicator he figured Jim would try to kill him the next time they spoke. Jim replies that for now they got a bigger fish to fry. DuGalle is furious as the Dominion/Raynor forces escape to warp. Stukov says that Korhal has fallen and the Dominion is broken. DuGalle replies “So long as he lives it still draws breath.”

Twilight is falling when Zeratul, Artanis, and Kerrigan return to Shakuras, where Aldaris and Raszagal greet them. Zeratul says they have what they need, but time is short as a Zerg swarm is following them. Raszagal says that the Zerg will burn before the might of the Uraj and orders for it to be placed on the Temple. Aldaris says there is no more reason for Kerrigan to be here and strongly hints for her to leave or face violence. Raszagal reprimands him for his behavior but Kerrigan says she has other things to do. She walks away and Aldaris says she can never be trusted. Raszagal shakes her head and says if Aldaris questions her so much he might as well not take part in leading the combined Protoss. This infuriates Aldaris and he storms off. Artanis goes after him to try and calm him down while Zeratul talks to Raszagal. He says he is a bit concerned about the Matriarch’s more aggressive demeanor but she assures him that it is just a normal reaction to now being part of a galactic war. She walks off and Zeratul stands uncertain. We cut to Kerrigan nearing her overlord transport when Aldaris appears on the platform. He says he knows what Kerrigan is up to and that he won’t let her poison anymore minds. Kerrigan turns, smiles, and replies “And who will believe a Judicator who has been wrong on every major decision to date?” Aldaris says he only has his theory, but he can prove it very soon. Kerrigan laughs and says she won’t give him a chance. Before Aldaris can react she jumps close and impales him on her spikes. Artanis arrives seconds later and is shocked. Kerrigan says Aldaris attacked her and that it seems some prejudices never die. She turns and leaves as Artanis rushes to try and aid Aldaris. Aldaris says “Must…stop her…darkness…in our heart” before dying. Artanis looks up in the sky to see Kerrigan’s overlord depart…and dark spots begin appearing in the atmosphere: The Zerg have come.

Everywhere springs into action as Protoss civilians hurry into sealed bunkers planetwide as the warriors take battle stations. Zeratul with some soldiers finds Artanis and Aldaris’ corpse. “She killed him” Artanis says weakly and Zeratul knows who he means but he replies “There is no time to grieve. Come with me.” As the first wave of Zerg overlord transports is incinerated by air defense cannons, Zeratul and Artanis go onto a transport that holds the Uraj crystal and is bound for the Xel’Naga temple. On the way Raszagal informs them that the Zerg swarm is launching successive waves of overlords and both Mutalisk and Guardian fliers. The air defenses will be overrun and thousands upon thousands of Zerg will make landfall. As if on cue, a squadron of Mutalisk fliers descends near them and a dogfight ensues between them and Protoss fighters, with Mutalisk acid burning through several. The dogfight and chase goes all the way to the Temple but on landing approach a lucky Mutalisk shot burns through one of the transport’s engines, causing it to make a hard landing on the summit. Zeratul and Artanis with help get the Uraj crystal out of the transport and towards the main array in the temple’s heart. As they do this we see more and more Zerg enter the atmosphere and slowly overwhelm Protoss air defenses, and they begin to land. Zeratul and Artanis get the Uraj emplaced on the temple array. Artanis asks what they do now and Zeratul replies that the Temple will know. Seconds later mechanical gears crank into motion autonomously and the summit of the Temple splits open as the array is raised up and up until it is above the summit. Zeratul and Artanis look around as the sky is filled with Zerg, who, seemingly sensing the crystals, are swarming their way. “Now or never my friend?” Artanis asks, and Zeratul nods. They each channel psionic energy into the Uraj crystal as the Zerg get closer and closer. The crystal brightens and begins to hum, and as the Zerg reach the temple it bursts, unleashing a massive wave of blueish energy that leaves Protoss and inorganic matter unharmed but utterly disintegrates any Zerg matter it touches. The wave cascades across much of the continent and into the air, wiping out the vast majority of the Zerg. The remnants, utterly frightened by what they saw, flee into deep space. Artanis and Zeratul, having been knocked down by the blast, get up and see the crystal has been melted into a misshapen lump and the array is charred beyond ability to function. As they look at the destruction of the Zerg attack, Artanis sighs in relief as Zeratul puts a friendly hand on his shoulder.

We jump a little in time to Aldaris’ funeral. After he is laid to rest, Zeratul and Artanis talk. Artanis says that the crystals are spent, it was only a one-time measure. Zeratul says that the Zerg don’t know that, which gives them time to make Shakuras both a home and a fortress for all Protoss. He asks Artanis if Aldaris had said anything before he died. Artanis tells him, but says it was vague and unclear. Zeratul sighs and says it must have been important, for Kerrigan to break the truce and murder him. But they will think on it tomorrow, for today they mourn an ally and celebrate a world saved. The camera pans up as they move to rejoin the ceremonies.

We briefly return to Korhal, where Stukov and DuGalle are meeting. Stukov says that over 70% of Dominion worlds have surrendered without a fight once news of Korhal’s fall spread through the sector. He adds that however nearly half of the military forces on those worlds has disappeared into deep space. DuGalle says they are going to join Mengsk. Stukov says that Mengsk’s army is only a fraction of what it once was, but DuGalle says a tiny viper still has enough poison to kill, and Mengsk apparently has Protoss friends. DuGalle says they cannot wait to ferret out Mengsk only for a whole alien race to strike them unblocked, they must proceed to Phase 2. Stukov, a little troubled, says that he has never fully supported Phase 2 since of potential dangers, but DuGalle says they have their orders from Earth, and the psionic technology seized from the Confederacy will be crucial. They will go to Char and enslave the new Overmind and use it to control the Zerg against their enemies.

We finally go to a space station in a desolate star system, where we see Mengsk’s ships and Raynor’s forces docked around it. Raynor, Fenix, Mengsk, Duke, and Matt are all in a central war room and an argument is brewing, with Mengsk railing that Raynor cannot keep him here away from his men. Raynor says he needs to be patient, since he cannot fight the UED on his own. Mengsk laughs and says that Raynor and Fenix’s band of refugees and malcontents is hardly enough to help topple anyone. “That is why they have me” Kerrigan’s voice says as she enters the room. Mengsk and Duke look shocked and aghast. Kerrigan tells Mengsk to take a good look at the monster he created when he abandoned her to die on Tarsonis. She says she wanted to kill him for that, but now they have far bigger concerns. She asks Mengsk if he will put aside differences with the Zerg in order to reclaim his homeworld. Mengsk says he doesn’t trust her as a Zerg and wants to know why she won’t betray him. Kerrigan says he has no other options. Mengsk sighs and shakes her hand. We cut to a little later in time, with Raynor and Matt on an observation deck. Matt says he could never imagined three enemies in the same room, working together. Raynor replies they do it because they have to, but he worries that they’re all players in someone else’s game. Matt asks what they can do about it. Raynor replies “Nothing, just wait…and hope.” The camera pans out from the observation deck into space to show the combined Raynor/Kerrigan/Mengsk fleet orbiting in space, ready to go to war.

Stranger in a Strange Land 3D

 

(In 3D)

 

Date- May 18th 

Genre- Sci-Fi Action

Rating- PG-13

Theaters- 3,555 theaters

Budget- 220 million

Running Time- 158 minutes or 2 hours and 38 minutes

Studio- O$corp Pictures

Director- Martin Campbell

Actors and Actresses

Valentine Michael Smith- Ryan Reynolds

Gillian Boardman- Marion Cotillard

Jubal Harshaw/Narrator- Johnny Depp

 

Plot: The film focuses on a human raised on Mars and his adaptation to, and understanding of, humans and their culture, which is portrayed as an amplified version of the consumerist and media-driven 20th-century United States.

Protagonist Valentine Michael Smith is the son of astronauts of the first expedition to the planet Mars. Orphaned after the crew died, Smith was raised in the culture of the Martian natives, who possess full control over their minds and bodies (learned skills which Smith acquires). A second expedition some twenty years later brings Smith to Earth. Because he is heir to the fortunes of the entire exploration party, which includes several valuable inventions (most particularly his mother's Lyle Drive, which makes interplanetary travel economical), Smith becomes a political pawn in government struggles. Moreover, despite the existence of the Martians, under terrestrial law Mars was terra nullius, wherefore according to some interpretations of law, Smith could be considered to own the planet Mars itself.

Because Smith is unaccustomed to the atmosphere and gravity of Earth, he is confined at Bethesda Hospital, where having never seen a human female, he is attended by male staff only. Seeing this restriction as a challenge, Nurse Gillian Boardman eludes guards to see Smith and in doing so inadvertently becomes his first female "water brother" by sharing a glass of water with him, considered a holy relationship by the standards of arid Mars.

 

When Gillian tells reporter Ben Caxton about her experience with Smith, they attempt to counteract the government's lies about Smith. After Ben disappears at the behest of the World Government, Gillian persuades Smith to leave the hospital with her; but they are attacked by government agents. Smith discards the agents irretrievably into a fourth dimension, then is so shocked by Gillian's terrified reaction that he enters a semblance of catatonia. Gillian, remembering Ben's reference to Jubal Harshaw, a famous author who is also a physician and a lawyer, conveys Smith to the latter.

Smith continues to demonstrate psychic abilities and superhuman intelligence coupled with a childlike naïveté. When Jubal tries to explain religion to him, Smith understands the concept of God only as "one who groks", which includes every extant organism. This leads him to express the Martian concept of life as the phrase "Thou art God", although he knows this is a bad translation. Many other human concepts such as war, clothing, and jealousy are strange to him, while the idea of an afterlife is a fact he takes for granted because the government on Mars is composed of "Old Ones", the spirits of Martians who have died. It is also customary for loved ones and friends to eat the bodies of the dead, in a spirit of Holy Communion. Eventually Harshaw arranges freedom for Smith and recognition that human law, which would have granted ownership of Mars to Smith, has no applicability to a planet already inhabited by intelligent life.

 

Now free to travel, Smith becomes a celebrity and is feted by the elite of Earth. He investigates many religions, including the Fosterite Church of the New Revelation, a populist megachurch wherein sexuality, gambling, alcoholism, and similar are not considered sinful but encouraged, even within the church building. The church is organized in a complexity of initiatory levels; an outer circle, open to the public; a middle circle of ordinary members who support the church financially; and an inner circle of the "eternally saved" — attractive, highly-sexed men and women, who serve as clergy and recruit new members. The Church owns many politicians and takes violent action against those who oppose it. Smith also has a brief career as a magician in a carnival, where he and Gillian befriend the show's tattooed lady, an "eternally saved" Fosterite woman named Patricia Paiwonski.

 

Eventually Smith begets a Martian-influenced "Church of All Worlds" combining elements of the Fosterite cult (especially the sexual aspects) with Western esotericism, whose members learn the Martian language and acquire psychokinetic abilities. The church is eventually besieged by Fosterites for practicing "blasphemy" and the church building destroyed; but Smith and his followers teleport to safety. Smith is arrested by the police, but escapes and returns to his followers, later explaining to Jubal that his gigantic fortune has been bequeathed to the Church. With it and their new abilities, Church members will be able to re-organize human societies and cultures. Eventually those who cannot or will not learn Smith's methods will die out, leaving Homo superior. Incidentally, this may save Earth from eventual destruction by the Martians, who we are told were responsible for the destruction of Planet V.

 

Smith is killed by a mob raised against him by the Fosterites; but speaks briefly to Jubal from the afterlife, saving him from an attempted suicide after the horror of Smith's own death. Having consumed Smith's remains in keeping with his own wishes, Jubal and some of the Church members return to Jubal's home to re-create their former conditions. Meanwhile Smith re-appears in the afterlife to replace the Fosterites' eponymous founder, amid hints that Smith was an incarnation of the Archangel Michael.

Previous Film: Stephen King’s It: Part 1: 27.3M/63.7M/112.8M

 

Plot: In July 1984, a man named Adrian Mellon is allegedly thrown off a bridge by a group of youths. They are framed and arrested for murder when Adrian's mutilated corpse is found, though they didn't kill him. One of the teens, Chris Unwin claims that they saw a clown kill Adrian underneath the bridge. When a series of violent child-murders following Adrian's death hit Derry, Mike, now the town’s librarian and the only one of the Losers’ Club to remain in Derry, calls up his six friends and reminds them of their childhood promise to return. Bill is now a well-known writer of horror novels, living in England and married to an actress called Audra; Beverly is in the fashion industry and very successful but married to an abusive man called Tom Rogan; Eddie runs a limousine rental company and is married to a woman exactly like his mother; Richie is a professional comedian with a radio show and talk show; Ben, now thin is a successful architect in Nebraska; and Stan is an accountant married to a woman called Patty. Five of them return to Derry with only the dimmest awareness of why they are doing so, having almost completely forgotten virtually every aspect of their childhood (most notably their encounter with It). Stan, who is implied to still remember the entire thing (or at least does when Mike contacts him) slits his wrists while taking a bath, writing the word IT in his blood on the shower wall with his dying strength. The remaining Losers’ Club meets at a Chinese restaurant for dinner, where, after a long meal and stories from the intervening years, Mike enlightens them to the apparent nature of It, gleaned from a large amount of research he has done himself: It awakens once roughly every twenty-seven years for twelve to sixteen months at a time to feed on children before going into slumber again. He suggests that, due directly to their intervention in the summer of 1958, they injured It so badly that the cycle, which usually came to an end in the winter months of the year, stopped abruptly and prematurely in August. The group holds a vote in which they decided to attempt to kill It once and for all. Mike suggests that before deciding what exactly to do, each Loser takes a walk around Derry to become re-acquainted with their childhood home, and also decides not to tell them anymore and allow them to remember what occurred on their own, fearing that they may commit suicide as Stan had done if they discover what happened before they are ready to remember it all. As they finish the meal, their fortune cookies are revealed to have a multitude of disgusting things inside of them, such as a human eye, courtesy of It.

 

While walking around Derry, many of the Losers witness manifestations of It. Ben goes to the library, his favorite place in Derry as a child, and sees It, first as Pennywise and then as a vampire. Eddie goes to an old baseball field and is attacked by It in the form of the leper that pursued him in his youth. Beverly goes back to her father's house and is greeted warmly by a kindly old woman who turns out to be It who then takes the form of her father. Richie goes to a statue of Paul Bunyan and It appears to him there after Richie recalls that It tried to kill him in the form of the statue back in 1958. The four all escape danger. Bill, while not seeing It, does find his old childhood bike in a junk shop, remembering how it saved his and Richie’s lives. He purchases it and takes it to Mike’s home to fix it up. Unknown to the Losers, three other people are also converging on Derry: Bill's worried wife, Audra Phillips; Beverly's abusive husband, Tom Rogan; and Henry Bowers, who is driven by It to escape the mental institution where he resides, having been convicted for the murder of his father and the children killed by It (including Belch, Victor, and Patrick) back in 1958. The Losers meet at Mike’s library after closing time and reminisce about the summer of 1958. Afterwards, the Losers leave for their hotel rooms. Mike stays at the Library a little longer and is confronted by Henry. After Mike briefly taunts Henry, stating that Pennywise will most likely kill him after he kills the Losers, they fight and Henry stabs him in the leg. Mike badly injures Henry with a letter opener but Henry is able to escape, and Mike, using his belt as a tourniquet, calls the hospital and successfully gets help despite Pennywise's attempts to block him. Henry, with the guidance of It (in the form of Belch’s reanimated corpse) goes to the hotel and attacks Eddie. Henry successfully breaks into Eddie’s room, but Eddie manages to disarm and kill Henry by impaling him with a broken glass bottle. Meanwhile, It gets Tom Rogan to kidnap Audra. Tom brings Audra to It’s lair under the city. Upon perceiving It in true form (“the deadlights”), Audra becomes catatonic and Tom drops dead in shock. Bill, Beverly, Richie, Eddie and Ben, after calling the library and finding out that Mike may be near death and understanding that the town, which is essentially under the control of It, will not help them, realize that they are being forced into another confrontation with It. They descend into the sewers. While in the sewers, the remaining Losers use their strength as a group to send energy to a hospitalized Mike, who fights off a nurse that is under the control of It. Later, deep within the sewers, It appears as George but Bill overcomes the illusion. They reach It’s lair again. Bill and Richie engage It in the Ritual of Chüd again and manage to severely injure It. Eddie helps them and saves their lives, but he is killed by It in the process, having his arm bitten off, eventually bleeding to death. Beverly stays with Eddie and the traumatized Audra, who has been woven into a giant spider web by It’s spider form. When Bill, Ben and Richie get to It's lair, they discover It has laid eggs and they're about to hatch. Ben stays behind to destroy the eggs while Bill and Richie chase down It. Bill and Richie follow It deeper into the cavern and attack It. After Richie wounds It with his voices and fists, Bill crushes It's heart between his hands, finally killing the monster. At the same time a storm sweeps through Derry and the downtown area collapses. Later, Mike, writing in a journal, concludes that Derry is finally dying.

 

The film ends with the various Losers returning home and their old lives. As a sign that It really is dead and a watchman is no longer needed, Mike’s memory of the events of the book also begin to fade, much to his relief. Ben and Beverly leave together, Richie heads back to his DJ career and Bill is the last to leave Derry. Before he goes, he takes Audra, who is still catatonic, for a ride on Bill's bike, Silver, hoping that they can beat her catatonia the same way he and the rest of the Losers beat It for the first time in 1958. They succeed, and the film ends with Bill musing over his forgotten childhood and the friends he shared it with.

The film begins with a short prologue narrated by the main character explaining how in a world full of wizards there is one school that is without a doubt the greatest at teaching young aspiring wizards and that school is Wizardversity. The scene flips through images of the school. It then goes on to explain that many years ago the school was attacked by an evil being known only as The Evil One who attempted to take over the school and destroy it. However, he was stopped by the President of the University. His name was President Harold, an old and wise wizard who was the greatest wizard the world had ever known. After a long and dangerous duel with the Evil One he emerged victorious and saved the school from imminent destruction. Rumors have said that The Evil One was never actually defeated, that he had escaped the battle and to this day remains hidden somewhere, waiting for the chance to destroy the school once and for all.An alarm clock is heard and Alexander Jones (Andrew Garfield) wakes up and stretches. He remembers that today he is leaving to attend Wizardversity and he is incredibly excited. He rushes around his room packing his things. Behind him we see a cat sleeping on the table beside his bed. As he talks to himself about how great this year is going to be we see a small fairy fly through the open door. The fairy greets Alexander and Alexander greets her back revealing her name is Anna (Natalie Dormer). A short narration explains that years ago Alexander's father saved Anna from being killed by a group of trolls and so she was indebted to the family and made it her goal to protect them. We hear Alexander's father from downstairs yelling up asking if he's ready to go. He quickly brushes the cat off the desk into a suitcase (we hear a startled meow) and rushes out the door.At the train station there are wizards everywhere and the station full of crowds and movement. Alexander and his father have one last conversation where his dad says he's never been more proud of him and gives him a hug. He then tells Anna to make sure she looks after him to which she replies "Don't worry, I'll keep him out of trouble". The train arrives at the station and Alexander stares at it in awe. As it pulls up and comes to a stop he stands there admiring it for a moment before he gets pushed aside by an excited crowd of kids rushing onto the train. As he lies on the ground we see his luggage on the ground in the background and his cat Jacob pokes his fluffy head out of one of the bags. Anna floats around the luggage asking him if he's hurt. He replies that he's fine when he is approached by a tall girl with long blonde hair. As he sees her he is instantly taken by her beauty and finds her very attractive. "Oh no are you hurt?" she asks sarcastically. He stammers unable to get out any words."Is that cat?" She laughs."Yeah" he replies."Cats are lame. I brought an owl" She exclaims proudly.Jacob spouts flames at Anna in an attempt to stop her from flying around his head."He breathes fire" Alexander explainsThe girl keeps walking unimpressed.Alexander watches her as she leaves while Jacobs head spins around the opening in the suitcase spitting small bursts of fire at Anna as she flies around him. He quickly gathers up all his things and rushes onto the train.On the train Alexander looks for a compartment to sit in and ends up all the way at the back in the final compartment. There is only one other kid in the compartment, a short skinny kid with brown hair who seems to be so energetic that he is literally vibrating."HEY!" He exclaims "MY NAME IS JIMMY!" (Played by Charlie Day)"Uh... hi i'm Alexander" He replies dropping his luggage and letting Jacob out of the bag. Jacob eyes Anna suspiciously."OH MY YOU HAVE A BUTTERFLY!" Jimmy cries reaching for Anna who flies out of reach."My name is Anna!" She says angrily."IT'S ALIVE!!" Jimmy screams jumping up attempting to swat her."Stop! She's a fairy" Alexander exclaims holding him back."OOHHHhhh" Jimmy says sitting back down. "HI I'M JIMMY!""Right..."Shot of the sky as it quickly cycles through the rest of the day then pan back down on the train as it arrives in front of Wizardversity. Alexander presses his face against the window excitedly to see what it looks like. Shot of the university, it looks like a normal university (A very large one) with a large green field between the station and the school, a long stone path leads to the door and there are two big fountains on either side.The students hurriedly make their way off the train and Alexander drags all his luggage towards to school. As the makes his way there with the crowd however, he feels a tug on his bags. A little elf about the height of his waist is pulling on it dressed in a green outfit."Hey! Let go!" He complains, but another elf is now pulling on a different bag. "Stop it!" he says angrily. A third elf kicks him in the shin and he drops the bags in pain. The elves quickly put the heavy bags over their heads and start walking off towards the school. Alexander realizes that elves are collecting other people’s bags as well and are just bringing them to the school.Alexander expresses his continued excitement to Anna as the two of them get closer to the school. As they reach the school entrance a large suit of armor stands beside the entrance watching the kids enter the school. As Alexander walks by the suit glares at him. He stops for a second to look at it. It keeps glaring at him. Alexander looks closer. It pushes him away. Confused, Alexander keeps walking.The students pile into a large empty room. They all stand silent as the Head Professor of the University walks in (Christopher Lee). He gives a speech about how lucky they all are to have this wonderful school to attend to and that they are in for an amazing and magical year. The room they are in is a large room with tables scattered around it. Alexander is seated at the table closest to the door and sitting beside him is a shorter chubby kid with messy hair and glasses named Martin (Unknown) and Jimmy is sitting directly across from him."Hi my name is Alexander!" He says greeting Martin."I'm Martin," He replies."Is this your first year here as well?""Yeah," He replies very shyly"IT'S MY FIRST YEAR TOO" Jimmy whispers very loudly leaning over the table.Suddenly, the door opens once again and hundreds of the little elves enter the room holding trays of food and bringing it to people. Alexander attempts to talk to the elves but they ignore him and continue to set down food everywhere. As the elves all exit the room the large living suit of armor enters the room and closes the door standing guard beside it.As they eat Jimmy is going on about an elaborate story where he caused his house to fly at least three blocks but Alexander is distracted by the suit of armor still glaring at him."What is that thing?" He whispers to Martin."That's Sir Victor. They built him to guard the school and stop anyone from trying to enter without permission.""I don't think he likes me.""I don't think he likes anyone""How could that single suit of armor stop someone from attacking the school?" Anna asks interjecting into the conversation. "I'm Anna by the way.""Hi." Says Martin.The President of the school stands up and gets everyone's attention once again. He explains that written on everyone's plates there is a number and that number corresponds to which house you will be living in and who you will be training with. Alexander looks at his plate and notices the 11 written on it that was clearly not there before. Martin points to his plate which is also an 11."GUYS! LOOK! I HAVE AN ELEVEN TOO! THIS IS LIKE DESTINY!" Jimmy exclaims.After supper the three of them all go to their house on the other side of the campus. When they arrive they realize that the house is just numbered eleven and given no other name. They go inside to find a few other people are already inside looking around. They are introduced to Lloyd (Jonah Hill) a skinny blonde haired boy who accidentally turned one of his arms completely to wood and Katherine (Emma Stone) a short brown-haired girl who was born with the power to control water. After some introductions they decide to go to get some much needed sleep before tomorrow’s classes.The next day Alexander gets up as early as possible and excitedly gets all his things together. He talks to Anna about how he is going to be one of the greatest wizards of all time. Jacob is quietly sleeping next to the bed. He goes downstairs to find that there is another member of their house. The blonde-haired girl from the train station. She rolls her eyes and sarcastically greets him. Her name is Sarah (Mila Kunis). After a very awkward conversation the two of them are joined by the rest of their house and they make their way to class.The six of them all stand in front of a very old looking teacher who is explaining some of the fundamentals of magic. He explains that all major spells require a power source. That inside every wand is a small source of magic that is able to sustain most small spells, but in order to create spells that are much bigger then everyday spells it requires a larger power source. The stronger the power source the stronger the spell can be. They also learn that wands can record events and be displayed like a hologram. Finally, they learn the most basic and generic spell of all which is to shoot a small blast of magic. They all begin to attempt this spell and they all inevitably fail horribly leading to a lot of damage to the classroom.At lunch they are all sitting at the table eating. They all discuss the day. An elf comes to collect Alexander's plate. He isn't finished with it so he tries to hold onto it but the elf refuses to let go and walks away with his food. As they leave the cafeteria they walk into a large crowded room. On the other side in a raised chair sits an incredibly old and very decrepit woman who is bundled in a cloak that practically swallows her. Alexander watches a tall red-haired girl walks up to her and asks the woman to give her fate. The old woman looks up and suddenly her eyes begin to glow bright blue and she speaks in a deep demonic voice that shakes the room "TONIGHT YOU WILL HAVE CHICKEN FOR SUPPER". The red-haired girl walks away slightly disappointed."What was that?!" Alexander exclaims in shock."That's the Oracle" Martin says. "You get your prophecy if you talk to her""YOU WILL WEAR PURPLE TOMORROW" another kid walks away disappointed."I want to try!" Alexander announces walking to the back of the line."This is a waste of time" Anna says as she flies around him"IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT IT WILL SNOW AT LEAST ONCE DURING YOUR LIFETIME" Yet another disappointed child."This is still going to be awesome"Anna shakes her head at him.Alexander approaches the Oracle and asks to know his fate. The oracle raises her face and her eyes glow blue."YOU WILL BRING ABOUT THE DOWNFALL OF THE EVIL THAT ONCE PLAGUED THIS SCHOOL"The room falls silent. Alexander, confused, turns around slowly to face the rest of the crowd. Everyone is staring at him. His friends look incredibly shocked. He just stands there as everyone stares back at him.Cut to Alexander being seated in the office of the president. He’s introduced as President Harold of the university. He’s tall and has a long white beard and hair. He talks to Alexander about how the Oracle has declared him as “The Chosen One” and now it is his job to train him for the task at hand. He asks Alexander if he’s ready to be The Chosen One. Alexander says yes sort of reluctantly.President Harold leads him to a building on the other side of the campus. It’s a bigger building and looks sort of old. They enter and Alexander sees that the building is a big gymnasium-like room for training and there is tons of really tough looking people practicing magic. President Harold explains that over the years the oracle has prophesized that many people would defeat various evils and that they have all been collected for specialized training in this facility. Alexander looks at his fellow colleagues and realizes they are all a lot bigger and tougher than he is.He returns to his house that night to find all of his friends waiting for him still holding the same shocked expressions that they had before. They pester him with questions about what the president wanted. He tells them about everything that happened and that he’s in some specialized training. They’re sad he won’t be training with them anymore.The next day he Alexander wakes up late as he is not as excited for school as he was the previous day. Eventually he says goodbye to his friends and heads to the training facility. When he arrives he is introduced to the new students there. Two of them are named Bartholomew and Evangeline and they are especially obnoxious. They instantly take a disliking to Alexander. The headmaster arrives and begins testing them. Predictably Alexander is horrible at it and fails horribly. Anna attempts to make him feel better. Rumors begin to spread that The Evil One has returned as is lurking somewhere just outside of the school. After the day of practicing Alexander takes some time for himself exploring the campus before going back to his house and ends up coming across a door hidden around the corner of the President’s office that is emitting a strange loud sound. Before he can open it President Harold arrives and angrily tells him to get away from the door. He tells him that he’s very sorry but they’ve had to advance his training by several decades and he is being sent to the swamps near the school tomorrow to go and fight The Evil One.Before returning to his house he goes to see the Oracle. The room is dark and empty compared to when everyone is there. He asks the oracle why he was chosen and why he is destined for something so important. She explains that she’s wrong more than she’s right and he is probably just going to die trying to fight the Evil One. Discouraged he tries to run and hide. He ends up in what appears to be the kitchen’s where the elves cook the food. He is surprised to find that Martin is also there with the elves. Martin asks him what’s wrong and Alexander explains the problem. Martin comforts him and tells him that he believes in him and to have courage. Meanwhile, Jacob pokes his head out of Alexander’s backpack and hops out. He begins to walk over to where the elves are. Anna attempts to alert Alexander to this but he ignores her. The elves look blankly at Jacob and one tries to pick him up. He spits a small blast of fire at the elf and his elf begins to run in circles frightened. The elves now mesmerized by Jacob all begin to try and grab him. He tries to run away but they pick him up and start marching off with him through a small hole in the kitchen wall.His courage is renewed and he decides he doesn’t need to wait until morning to go fight the Evil One. He instead goes outside to the swamps right away with Anna. He enters to dark swamps and it isn’t long before he finds the Evil One. They have a duel but Alexander is easily defeated. Anna attempts to intervene but before she can the Evil One says to wait. He removes his cloak and reveals that he is the real President of the Wizardversity and that many years ago Harold (The Real Evil One) cursed the school and made them all believe that he was the President and the real President Steve (Benedict Cumberbatch) was evil. Steve managed to escape before being defeated and has been in hiding ever since.Alexander returns to the school with Steve in order to confront President Harold but the two of them are immediately captured. Anna manages to escape and goes off in search of Alexander’s friends.Jacob meanwhile has been brought the underground lair where the elves all live and has been placed upon a pedestal and not allowed to leave. Despite his meows of protest they believe he is a god and kept there. Hilarity ensues and Jacob escapes with much difficulty.Alexander and Steve are being kept in cages in the President’s office and Harold goes on an evil monologue about Alexander ruining his plan and that he must be dealt with. He says he has been searching for Steve for many years and he’s happy to finally be able to be rid of him.Anna goes and get’s Alexander’s friends and tells them that he’s been capture by President Harold and explains the situation. They agree to go and help him and quickly gather their things for this heroic mission. They make their way towards the main building and as they enter meet up with Jacob as he flees from the merciless hoard of elves. They all make their way to President Harold’s office. They fight him and through much teamwork manage to distract him long enough to free Alexander and Steve.Alexander quickly leads them out of the office and down the hall towards the room with the loud sounds. They break into it and find a massive open room with a huge floating crystal in the center emitting incredibly noisy sounds. Alexander explains that Harold cursed the campus to make everyone think that he had been President all along and that a curse like that would need a major power source. President Harold arrives and says that with less than a week of magical knowledge they’ll never be able to defeat him. Alexander explains they don’t need to defeat him and they all cast generic magic blast at the crystal destroying it and breaking the curse. In his rage President Harold attempts to curse Alexander and his friends but Jacob breathes flames at him and he is set on fire.The next day all the teachers at the school have remembered that Steve was the president and he is reinstated with many apologies. Steve personally thanks the kids for all that they’ve done and says he’s looking forward to everything they’ll accomplish in the rest of their time at the Wizardversity.As the kids all leave and walk towards their classes Jimmy exclaims that they’ve done pretty well with only a few days of training. Alexander looks off into the distance and says “Yep, it’s going to be one great year.”

The film starts with the word Move appearing with a green background. Four friends [Jesy, Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne] meet up in a pub and they decided to become a group 1 and ½ months ago. The pub is holding a karaoke night and the 4 new friends decide to start singing songs “How Ya Doin”, “Wings”. A flashback then goes to Jade walking down a street singing “About the Boy”. During the song, her boyfriend comes down the street and she develops a mini crush on him and they kiss. Jade then goes into a restaurant as she needs the toilet and when she leaves the toilet she sees this boy kissing another woman “Boy”. A crying Jade walks back home down a dark street “Good Enough”. At the bottom of the screen, it says one day later and Jade is at a carnival and meets another guy “nothing feels like you” and they kiss at the end of the song. They start going round looking at everything at the Carnival and Jade starts singing with this boy “Mr loverboy”. Fireworks go off and they walk home on a dark field with the full moon shining and Jade starts singing “Don’t Let Go”.

The flashback ends and it returns to the pub with Jade smiling and the people in the pub starts clapping. Leigh-Anne then starts singing the first half of “Take A Bow” [one of the only songs not sang by Little Mix] before it cuts to the flashback of Leigh-Anne two months ago.

She is performing her last show on stage “Red Planet” and the show is a spaceship going around a red planet with another actor. In the show, she and the actor arrive home from space safely in the end “Stereo Soldier” and do a dance and singing routine before kissing for the show at the end. They have an afterparty and Leigh-Anne walks home feeling lonely now her run has finished in the show because she has no one else in her life “Pretend It’s OK”. She opens the door to her home and goes to an empty room in her house and just looks up into space and starts singing “These Four Walls”. Her garden door opens and she goes outside and looks up at the sky and sees a bright star and mutters a wish that she is not lonely anymore and starts singing to the star “Wishing on a Star”.

She is crying quietly while she finishes singing take a bow in the pub and she then sees the fellow cast of red planet come into the pub looking for her and she goes and cuddles them. She starts talking to them and the drunk people want Jesy to sing so she starts singing “So What” by P!nk. Three quarters of the way through the song, it goes to four months before.

Jesy is at a hospital and gets up and starts singing before becoming convinced someone is coming after her ‘Madhouse’. She runs away from the hospital and she falls and collapses. She then imagines picture of her ex-boyfriend and starts singing and crying ‘Turn Your Face’. She struggles to get up because of the pain and heartbreak. She lies there fast asleep for a day with no one noticing. After she gets up she limps to a new hospital and bumps into a man on crutches. He helps her to get treated quickly and they leave the hospital together and outside they kiss ‘Always Be Together’. Jesy’s ex turns up and claims he is married to Jesy but Jesy tells him she’s not married to him, he hurt her too bad physically and wants him to go away ‘Towers’ but he refuses. ‘Salute’ then plays as Jesy starts singing with also giving messages during the song about how the abuse was wrong and horrible and the ex decides to run away quickly but her new boyfriend also dumps her as he’s not ready for someone who he believes was recently married though at the end of salute, he takes the money out of Jesy’s pocket and run’s away [it is revealed he was faking the crutches and is a con-man]. She also finds a dark empty street and starts singing a slow version of Wings while crying.

Back to the present day, she is finishing So What and finishes the song with ‘so what, any stupid and pointless exes I’ve had’. The drunk crowd cheer for this before Perrie tells them they need some calming down and starts singing ‘Angels’ by Robbie Williams when it then goes to 6 months before.

Perrie is on a dinner date with her boyfriend and their best friends who are dating but it is then revealed that her boyfriend and the girl best friend were having an affair which leads to Perrie storming out the restaurant and going into a shop but accidentally forgets to pay because she is so angry with her boyfriend. The shop owner does not believe her and calls the police who arrest her and give her a night in prison. She starts to believe hope that anything good will happen ‘Going Nowhere’. She falls asleep and the next evening she is released from prison. It is raining and she gets into her car and starts driving ‘DNA’. She runs over her ex-boyfriend on purpose and kidnaps him by putting him in a cellar. She gloats in his face about how he failed and how he will regret what he did. She taunts him about how she is becoming stronger while he’s getting weaker ‘Little Me’. Perrie starts to ponder if she should let him go but he tries to escape so she decides to sing him another song first ‘Competition’. Perrie leaves and locks him in the cellar and goes to a nightclub five minutes away and dances and flirts with other men ‘A Different Beat’. She goes back to the cellar ‘We Are Who We Are’ and releases him but tells him she never wants to see him again and that they are completely different people and he can’t mention a word of it to anyone.

Back in the present day, Perrie shouts out that they have now all became really happy since they became friends 1 and ½ months. They decide to sing one more song to encourage the audience for the future ‘Change Your Life’ and they can do anything and something will happen good to them even if everything at that current time is going wrong. Just as they are about to get off stage, they want them to sing one more song and the drunken people start chanting One More Song repetitively. Jade’s boyfriend turns up as a backing dancer for the group with a few other dancers and Little Mix decide to give the audience one last song ‘Move’. At the end of the song, the people in the bar clap before the screen fades to black and the word Move with the green background appears. ‘Untitled’ [a new song] rolls over the credits with the pictures and when the credits roll with the names with the black background, ‘How Ya Doin’ with Missy Elliot plays.

Name: The Legend of Redwall

 

Director: Soren Ville (made-up)Genre: Animated/Family/FantasyDate: April 13-15Cast: Jesse Eisenburg (Matthias), Mark Strong (Cluny the Scourge), John Hurt (Methuselah), Carey Mulligan (Cornflower), Liam O'Brien (Basil Stag Hare), Douglas Gleeson (Log-a-log), Jim Broadbent (Abbot Mortimer), Tom Felton (Chickenhound), Lena Headey (Sela)Plot:

In a medieval land populated by animals, there stands the large Redwall Abbey, named so because of the great red stone walls that surround it. Matthias is a young mouse from Redwall who dreams of adventure, but is constantly admonished by the Abbey elders, including Methuselah, the abbey recorder, who acts as a surrogate father to Matthias. Matthias also has a crush on the young female mouse, Cornflower, but can't work up the courage to tell her. While looking through the Abbey library one day, Matthias comes across the tale of Martin the Warrior, one of the founders of Redwall, who wielded a legendary sword. The tale states that the sword will reveal itself whenever the Abbey is in danger and can only be wielded by a true hero.However, the Abbey's peace is disturbed by the news that Cluny the Scourge, a villainous rat, and his vermin army are making their way across the land, burning and pillaging villages as they go. The only place in the entirety of the land with the defences to resist Cluny is Redwall, but most of the inhabitants aren't at all used to fighting. An eccentric wandering rabbit warrior, Basil Stag Hare, agrees to help the Redwallers train for the upcoming war. Matthias believes that the sword of Martin the Warrior could help them, but the Abbey elders dismiss the idea as a simple legend. However, Methuselah and Cornflower also believe the legend is real and agree to help Matthias find it. Methuselah manages to find a hint to where the sword is in an old book and the three follow a series of clues built into the abbey to show the sword's location, Matthias and Cornflower becoming close in the process. Eventually, they manage to find Martin's shield and scabbard on the abbey roof, but there is no sign of the sword. Matthias realises that one of the sparrows who occasionally roost on the abbey roof must've taken it. While trying to climb down, however, he accidentally falls onto the back of a napping sparrow and is carried away.Before the Abbey can send out a search party for Matthias, however, they are attacked by Cluny's forces. After an epic, Lord of the Rings-esc battle (or at least as close to LOTR as a family film can get), the Redwallers eventually manage to repel Cluny's forces after Basil Stag Hare douses them in slippery oil, so they can't batter down the door, and Cornflower tosses a hornet nest at them. Cluny vows revenge and begins to besiege the abbey. His rats attempt to tunnel under the abbey, but are driven out by scalding water. They later try to build a wooden tower to scale the walls, but Basil and Cornflower sneak out of the abbey and set fire to it.Meanwhile, Matthias is taken to the sparrow's nest and befriends the sparrow who accidentally kidnapped him, a female named Warbeak. Warbeak manages to keep Matthias's presence a secret from the King Sparrow. However, Matthias accidentally reveals himself when he attempts to sneak into the King's nest, looking for Martin's sword. After a short fight, Matthias manages to defeat the King, with Warbeak's aid and Warbeak is declared the new queen. However, it is revealed that the sword was stolen from the sparrows by the snake Asmodeus. Matthias travels to where Asmodeus's lair is believed to be and meets up with Log-a-log, the leader of a group of warrior shrews whom Asmodeus have been attacking. The two sneak into Asmodeus's lair and Matthias finally finds Martin's sword. However, the two accidentally wake Asmodeus, who chases them through his lair. Eventually the two are cornered at a dead end, but Matthias manages to slay the snake with Martin's sword.Meanwhile, Cluny, being driven increasingly mad by nightmares about Martin, hires two foxes, Sela and her son Chickenhound, to sneak into the Abbey and let him in. The two make it into the abbey by pretending to be refugees and manage to integrate themselves with the Redwallers. One night, when everyone is asleep, the two move to open the gate for Cluny. As they do so, Sela tells Chickenhound to steal valuables from the abbey without Cluny's knowledge and the two would escape with them. As he does so, he is confronted by Methuselah. Chickenhound attacks Methuselah, seriously injuring him and waking the Redwallers. As he tries to make his escape, he accidentally falls off the abbey walls, leaving his fate unknown. Sela, meanwhile, manages to open the gate for Cluny, who knew all along about her plan to steal treasure and quickly kills her for attempting to doublecross him and steal his treasures.Cluny quickly subdues the Redwallers, who are unable to put up much of a resistance against his forces. After all the abbeydwellers are dragged into the Abbey lawn, Cluny asks whom the Abbot is, intending to make an example of him. Before Mortimer can reveal himself, the injured Methuselah pretends to be the Abbot and is stabbed by Cluny's poison barbed tail. After Cornflower tries to stop him from finishing off Methuselah, Cluny is about to execute her, when Matthias suddenly arrives and stops him. With the aid of Log-a-log's shrews and Warbeak's sparrows, the Redwallers manage to drive out Cluny's army. Cluny and Matthias themselves duel in an epic swordfight in the Abbey Bell Tower, which has been set on fire, eventually ended by Matthias cutting the rope suspending the Abbey Bell, causing it to fall on Cluny.Matthias comforts a dying Methuselah who tells him how proud he is and finally dies with a peaceful smile. The Abbeydwellers celebrate their victory and Matthias is declared the Warrior of Redwall. Matthias and Cornflower confess their love and are eventually married. The damaged Abbey bell is melted down and made into two new bells, named Matthias and Methuselah.In a post credits scene, an injured Chickenhound is shown dragging himself away and vowing vengeance on the abbeydwellers.

Tagline: “Our World and the Digital World will collide”

 

Narrator - Digimon are digital creatures living on a World inside ours. In our network. Their world has many treats, but to help them children were chosen over the years. Thanks to them, their partners Digimon were able to digivolve to higher levels and fight the evil forces. There are 6 levels: Baby (we see a Botamon), Basic (Koromon), Beginner (Agumon), Champion (Greymon), Mega Champion (MetalGreymon) and Hiper Champion (WarGreymon). When they go to the higher levels, Digimon can only stay there for some time, and if they are beaten or are weak (hungry or just tired), they will get back to the Beginner level.

 

When Digimon die, they turn into data and go back to the DigiEgg state. When they reborn, they won’t remember anything from their past lifes. The chosen kids receive a DigiVice. It has the power to make the Digimon evolve and many others yet to be known. Kids were chosen by their qualities. Love, friendship, innocence, between others. They are chosen at the age of 12, but for over 10 years no kid is chosen. The last ones were five american kids that went to the Digimon World to save it. *All of this was said while images of the beautiful Digimon world were showed*

 

D I G I M O N – D I G I T A L  M O N S T E R S

 

Sunny day on Earth. America. People are doing their lives like every other day.  A portal opens in the Digimon world. We see a huge monster (only in the shadows) and an army of creatures behind him. The monster does a small speech about conquering Earth. They enter the portal. A lightning is seen on Earth. People get scared by the strange occurrence. We see close-ups of three boys and two girls, all in different places.

W O R L D  I N V A S I O N

 

One of the boys named Daniel receives a warning sign in his Digivice. They all start to receive it. Daniel calls Matt asking if the same is happening with him. He says yes and that he believes their old partners want to talk to them. Daniel says he will try to talk to the other guys. Lilian is on the same University as Susan so they both meet quickly and discuss what happened. Lilian says she is afraid something happened to Renamon but Susan comforts her saying that she also received the sign so Renamon and Pyomon are fine, and probably want to talk to them.

 

Daniel goes home and contacts Jack on the PC. Daniel says he and Daniel received a sign on the digivice and believe Impmon and Agumon are trying to talk to them and that they suspect something is wrong in the Digimon world. Jack says he also receive it and says he is going to meet with Susan and Lilian later today. Daniel says he is going to talk to Matt for they to reunite at his home later in the night after dinner. They turn off and we see Jack looking at a picture of him and Impmon.

 

Jack calls Lilian. He seems a bit embarrassed on the phone. He says he wants to talk to her later and they should meet on the park. Lilian has a smile on his face and immediately agrees. Jack says to her to bring Susan. Lilian seems a bit sad but understands he wants to talk about the digivices. She says she will be there in 1 hour with Susan.

 

Jack and the girls meet. They say their digivices started to give the sign after the lightning and Jack says that things may be connected and that the Digi world may be in trouble again, after 8 years. Susan and Lilian ask about the other boys, and Jack says Daniel told him to go to his house tonight after dinner. Susan says this may be their partners trying to communicate, and Jack shakes his head agreeing with her friend.

 

We see Matt remembering when he was younger in the Digital world playing with Patamon and his friends. Thinking what may have happened. A red eye is seen in the dark. Some Demidevimon and Goblimon said it is time, the army is ready and that the humans don’t suspect anything. The monster announces that it is time to invade the world.

 

Jack, Lilian, Susan and Matt meet at Daniel’s house. They talk about what happened. The digivices, the lightning and what it all means. Suddenly, Daniel’s PC starts to work and it illuminates all the room. The group is transported to another place. The Digimon world. When they regain their senses, they can’t believe what they are seeing. The world is destroyed. What was in the past a beautiful land full of life is now a dark, horrible place.

 

Their partners appear in the distance. The group is happy to see them and the reunion is emotional. The Digimons tell their partners that a legendary Digimon has awakened and that it raised hell over the world. Lots of Digimons dies and the ones that are still alive hide themselves. Belphemon now controls the Digimon world. But he wanted more so decided to attack the human world and be the supreme king of both worlds.

 

Impmon says he had the help of the Dark Masters, a group of four Hyper Champion monsters that planned a long time ago to conquer the Digimon world. We see flashback of that while Impmon tells the story. A group of kids fighting and killing every one of them.

 

Daniel asks when did he go to the Digimon world and Agumon said he went some hours ago and that is why they tried to warn them. Daniel says they need to get back as soon as possible to fight them. The group goes back through the same portal. When they arrive in Daniel’s room chaos is on the streets. Jack goes at the window and sees Piedmon giving orders to a bunch of Ogremon.

 

Matt connects the TV and the news talk about a worldwide attack of the Digimon, the monsters that disappeared from the world for over 10 years and now are back. Earth defenses are useless and we see attacks all around the world. The group goes to the roof of the building. Piedmon sees them and talks. He says the time has come to get revenge from the world and from the chosen kids. Daniel asks them why does he say that.

Piedmon explains that many years ago a group of chosen kids went to the Digimon world to release it from the darkness and that supposedly killed them. But Belphemon brought them back to life and they now want revenge from the human world.

 

One Ogremon quickly grabs Agumon. Daniel gets angry and the other guys are ready to make their Digimons evolve. But Piedmon tells them to wait a bit more. Using his magic tricks, Piedmon forces Agumon to digivolve into the darkness to the Mega Champion SkullGreymon. Daniel sees in despair while the others grab him.

 

Piedmon controls SkullGreymon and tells him to attack the center of the city, Los Angeles. We see the monster advancing and destroying the Hollywood sign. His power is immense and smashes everything in his path.

 

Jack and Matt push Daniel into the building. Daniel cries, Lilian and Susan confort him while Jack and Matt go see the news on TV. We see a massive attack in Japan by a giant creature from the sea, and a huge monster that looks like a machine smashing the Big Ben in the UK. We also see an attack in Brazil by a group of dinosaurs.

 

Lilian and Susan take their eyes out of the TV and go to talk with the boys. The girls say they need to divide themselves through all the cities in attack. Matt says he will stay with Daniel and they will try to bring Agumon out of the darkness. Jack says he is going to Brazil but he needs a ride. Susan says Pyomon will leave them in the cities being attacked and then will head to Japan.

 

Pyomon digivolves into Birdramon. Susan calls Jack and Lilian and they leave. Matt and Daniel run to the place where Piedmon and SkullGreymon are and Matt’s Patamon digivolves into Angemon and carry them. We see Piedmon as he suffers the Hand of Fate attack from behind. Angemon is an Angel Digimon, so he is very strong and even on a lower level is capable of giving a good fight to Piedmon. 

 

Piedmon attacks Angemon with his swords but fails and Angemon digivolves into MagnaAngemon. Suddenly SkullGreymon screams and viciously attacks MagnaAngemon and he goes back to Patamon as Daniel and Matt can do nothing to help. The monster seems out of control and prepares to launch the missile he has on the back.

 

 Piedmon tells the Ogremon to attack them but it useless as SkullGreymon easily defeats them. Piedmon attacks him but he can’t do anything. Matt and Daniel run to protect themselves inside a building. Matt grabs Patamon. Both look at the destruction caused by the beast.

 

SkullGreymon grabs Piedmon  and throws him against a building in front of them. As Piedmon looks in fear and not capable of defending himself, SkullGreymon releases the missile against Piedmon. The missile causes massive destruction destroying several buildings and roads and we see Piedmon dying.  Daniel goes out of the building and runs to SkullGreymon, screaming Agumon while we see the tears in his face.

 

He falls to his knees. He is crying, while talks about the good moments he and Agumon had together. SkullGreymon looks at him. *Slow motion with dramatic score* Matt runs at him, SkullGreymon gets ready to attack Daniel. The Digivice falls from Daniel’s pocket and has a powerful light that illuminates SkullGreymon. The monster stops the attack. We see it coming back to Agumon *Slow motion stops*.

 

Agumon is on a floor almost lifeless. Daniel runs to him and hugs it. It is an emotional moment has Matt gets closer to them, also happy with what happened. They both leave and go to Daniel’s house on foot. Matt says he is going to call Jack. We see Birdramon leaving Jack in Brazil, but before they say goodbye, Lilian kisses Jack, afraid of never seeing him again. Susan and Lilian leave.

 

Jack had a smile on his face after the kiss but now he is looking for the monsters in Brazil. Lilian is on the UK with Renamon and Susan lands on Japan with Birdramon that turns into Pyomon. Far away, Jack sees the Christ Redeemer falling. He runs to the city. At the UK, Lilian sees the Big Ben destroyed while two dragons fly over her. She hides with Renamon. At Japan, Susan walks to the city where the attacks were seen on TV and we see some small Digimon observing her.

 

When Jack reaches the city, he sees a huge army of DarkTyrannomon attacking everybody. Controlling them there is a Puppetmon. Jack tells Impmon to digivolve into the Mega Champion Beelzemon. Beelzemon attacks the DarkTyrannomon with Death the Cannon and he is able to kill them after a hard fight. Puppetmon then shows up and uses his tricks to control Beelzemon like if he was a puppet. Puppetmon attacks Jack, but he is able to run and hide. Not being able to do anything, Jack witnesses Puppetmon destroying Brazil with Beelzemon. His cellphone rings.

 

Susan is running with Pyomon from a group of Divermon while massive explosions are seen in front of her. Pyomon digivolves to Birdramon and attacks the creatures, as they run away after seeing such a beastly creature attacking them.  Birdramon quickly goes back to Pyomon because Susan wants to catch the enemy by surprise. But the Divermon are part of the sea army of MetalSeadramon and they warn him of the arrival of one of the chosen kids.

 

Two huge dragons, Megadramon and Gigadramon are seen flying over the UK and Tankmon are attacking on the floor. Lilian doesn’t know what to do since there too many enemies. Renamon tells her that the Tankmon won’t be a problem since they are weak, but the dragons are the real deal. Jack picks up and it is Matt. Jack says he is trouble and that a Puppetmon is controlling Beelzemon. Matt tells him they will try to go as soon as possible and ask Jack to be careful.

 

MetalSeadraman is warned by the Devirmon that a chosen children is at Japan. A dar creature rises and tells MetalSeadramon that will take care of her for him. Renamon digivolves into his final evolution Sakuyamon and takes care of the Tankmon. Megadramon and Gigadramon appear but Sakuyamon is able to beat them but after the battle it goes back to Renamon because she is exhausted and can’t continue to fight. A gigantic beast that looks like a machine rises from under the ground.

 

Jack continues hidden while Beelzemon tries to escape from Puppetmon, but it useless. Puppetmon uses Beelzemon to destroy the country and attack the people. MachineDramon is one of the biggest Digimon ever. Lilian and Renamon run while MachineDramon tries to find them while it destroys everything on his path. Piymon digivolves into Garudamon and fights MarineDevimon. After several attacks failed from each other, Garudamon finally strikes MarineDevimon with a Shadow Wing, that kills the beast. We see Garudamon being attack by MetalSeadramon’s River of Power from the back.

 

 

 

Patamon digivolves into Angemon and both Matt and Daniel fly to Brazil to help Jack. Garudamon falls into the floor. MetalSeadramon uses the River of Power again but this time fails and we see a massive number of building tearing apart. Garudamon flies to the skies and MetalSeadramon follows her. MetalSeadramon tries to sue Shimetsuke but fails and Garudamon throws him to the sea. Garudamon did that to be able to use Fire Hurricane (in the city, it would have killed millions of people). We see a gigantic tornado of fire forming around MetalSeadramon while Garudamon’s fists gets covered in flames. The monsters flies against MetalSeadramon, killing him.

 

An Hand of Fate attack cuts what makes Puppetmon being able to control Beelzemon like a puppet. Angemon arrives and Matt and Daniel quickly find Jack. Puppetmon says this is not over a huge monster rises called SkullMammothmon. Beelzemon draws is massive Death the Cannon. Puppetmon did not see that coming and Beelzemon uses it against the massive SkullMammothmon. The beast counter-attacks but it is useless as Beelzemon’s attack is too strong and ends up killing it.

 

Lilian calls Susan asking for help. Garudamon goes back to Birdramon and both fly to the UK. Angemon turns into MagnaAngemon and opens the Gate of Destiny. Puppetmon is pushed to the gate by Beelzemon, ending is reign of terror over Brazil. Lilian calls Jack and tells him Susan is in trouble in the UK. Lillian arrives and we see MachineDramon using Dragon Fire and destroying several buildings. Susan sends a text message to Lillian telling her his location and Lillian quickly finds her. She tells her they should wait for the boys.

 

MagnaAngemon attacks MachineDramon while Impmon evolves into Beelzemon. Piyomon evolves into Garudamon. Agumon and Daniel look at each other. Agumon then evolves into WarGreymon. The boys run to the girls while the Digimons fight against MachineDramon. They try to find a shelter. MachineDramon is a hard beast to defeat and strikes MagnaAngemon with his Giga Cannon, that causes a massive explosion. Matt runs to get his buddy and then it gets back to the shelter, trying to put Patamon in a comfortable position.

 

Garudamon is finally able to hit the Crimson Claw and MachineDramon falls into the ground. Beelzemon uses the Death the Cannon and MachineDramon is very weak. Finally, WarGreymon uses the Terra Force followed by the Great Tornado, perforating MachineDramon. The beast falls into his knees. The kids look. MachineDramon says that Belphemon is watching, that he is invincible and that the human world will be destroyed sooner or later. Matt gets out of the shelter and says that as long as they are alive, that won’t happen.

 

MachineDramon smiles. He starts to shine saying that this was the last day for them on Earth. WarGreymon grabs the beast. Beelzemon says MachineDramon is about to use the Catastrophe Day, where he detonates himself into a giant explosion. While in the air, MachineDramon tells WarGreymon tells the kids will die. WarGreymon releases the beast into the sea and tells him that day isn’t today.

 

The kids see a shockingly big explosion happening and tearing down around 6 or 7 buildings. Then a massive tsunami is seen entering the city. Matt cries. His friends try to comfort him. We see WarGreymon coming from far away. Matt sees it and runs to the outside. WarGreymon turns into Agumon and hugs Matt. Jack kisses Lillian. The world is safe. People start to get out of other shelters and buildings and applaud, thanking the kids what they have done.

 

 

We see TV Channels talking about the return of the Digimon. The beasts that once attacked Earth 20 years ago. The kids and Digimon are back to home. We see them talking about what they should do about Belphemon. They try to think on a plan to stop him and decide to go to the Digimon world. We see every one of them saying goodbye to their parents in emotional moments. 5 days have passed. They reunite in Daniel’s house and open a door to the Digimon world through his PC. A huge light comes out of it. The movie ends.

 

MID CREDITS SCENE

 

We see Belphemon with a smile. He goes and talks to other Digimon that we don’t see. “It is your time”, he says. The creature laughs. We see a mask of the same form of a bat covering his eyes. It is Myotismon.

Previous Movie: 65.4M/177.8M/483.1M 

 

Tagline: "The end of the world begins" | "Monsters will clash"

 

When Hans and Ted arrive at the H.E.A.T. base, short fuses and hot tempers threaten to break up the team for good. We see shots of Hans and Ted clearly turning the members of the team against each other, by controlling their mind.

Nick and Craven trace a sudden spike in Tachyon transmissions to Sandy Point military base in New Jersey. They discover that Hans and Ted have helped the military dredge up the Leviathan spacecraft – a project spearheaded by Major Hicks (a career army man in his late 40s) and Elsie!

Feeling betrayed, Nick kicks Elsie off of H.E.A.T. The other four members of the team suddenly decide to investigate reports of a Giant Bat in Nigeria, instead of what is happening with the alien ship. Assisted by Nigerian General Ekwensi, Nick is able to track down this new monster. The Bat shows up, and the team has problems dealing with it.

Luckily, Godzilla shows up and attacks the Giant Bat but is wounded by the creature’s sonic screams (a big part of the florest where they were is burned by Godzilla’s fire attacks that miss the target - this a 10 minutes battle). As the tide of battle turns in the Giant Bat’s favor, it stops the attack and flies off.

Nick asks Randy and Monique to pursue the beast aboard the Heat-Seeker while Nick returns to H.E.A.T. headquarters to meet up with Craven.

Nick talks to Craven about the appearance of the Giant Bat, and if it possible that the monster is connected to the aliens in any way. Craven tells Nick that they have to go to Sandy Point and discover more about what Hans, Ted, Hicks and Elsie are doing with the alien ship.

We discover that when the Leviathan Aliens were downloading Hans and Ted knowledge, they were also downloading their brains into them. That was his plan B in case of his ship and themselves getting killed. The Aliens have taken control of Elsie and all the military personnel at Sandy Point.

When they arrive at Sandy Point, Craven and Nick see Ted, Hans with the yellow aliens, giving orders to everyone. They also see Elsie with them (her eyes are red).

Craven comes the conclusion that by using their telepathic powers, the aliens had toyed with H.E.A.T., keeping the team members at each other’s throats and out of the way long enough for the invaders to establish a powerful Tachyon transmitter at Site Omega on Isle Del Diablo in the South Pacific.

Craven uses his personal computer and discovers that the alien ships are back, and they likely never went away in the first place. They just used a program to stay invisible to their tracking systems.

Nick assumes that it is a perfected version of the same program the aliens used in the first time, and that is why the army did nothing about it (the government doesn’t track Tachyon transmissions). Nick and Craven sneak into the Sandy Point to try and rescue Elsie from the Aliens control, only to make a terrifying discovery.

 

Randy and Monique are still chasing the Giant Bat to see where it is heading. Suddenly, a giant have hits the boat and something huge comes from the water. It is the supposedly killed Cryptocleidus. For the despair of Randy and Monique, the beast tries to drag the boat into the ocean.

Randy saves them by grabbing a grenade launcher and throwing one against the monster, which leaves the boat for the moment. But it comes back quickly. The Giant Bat also shows up. Monique asks Randy a bit of time to try something.

Randy uses an weapon to shoot the monsters, but with almost no effect. Finally, Monique is able to use the sonic screams of the Bat to put both monsters fighting. That saves both of them. Suddenly, the monsters leave, like if something as summoned them.

The Leviathan Aliens (in the bodies of Hans and Ted) finally reveal their big plan. When the Alien pushed the buttom before the ship’s destruction, he was actually releasing all the monsters from their cages, and they waited in Earth without causing any disturbances until new orders. The monsters are the key to the Alien’s plan. The monsters will be used to destroy Earth and leave it weak before the Alien’s troops arrive.

The Aliens now summon the monsters, which were hidden until they received new orders. King Cobra, Crustaceous Rex (a gigantic beast with a crablike carapace, segmented arms, dozens of tentacles, and a head that spirals open like a weird flower), the Huge Rat, El Gusano (a giant rampaging earthworm), the Queen Bee, the Giant Bat and the Cryptocleidus to Site Omega and begin their plan to conquer the world.

Godzilla senses all this happening, and swins in direction to Sandy Point. The Alien controlling Ted asks the Alien controlling Hans if there isn’t one monster missing. The Alien answers that the monster missing is already in Sandy Point ready to start the second part of their plan.

Craven and Nick are shocked with what they find in Sandy Point. The Aliens cloned Godzilla and created a Cyber version of it, stronger and more powerful. The pair tries to run but Cyber-Godzilla attacks them.

Godzilla shows up, but it gets confused by seeing another monster of the same species. The Aliens take advantage of that distraction to take control of Godzilla. Godzilla turns around and looks at Nick and Craven, as both understand this may the last moment of their lifes.
