Quantum of Solace ( Story of Financial Crisis)

Today was the premier release date of 22nd James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace". I went to Midvalley Megamall to buy some electronic gadgets. Unfortunately, all the small IT shops are closed down and that big space is given for new "makan" shop. Then head to 3rd floor to have a look for the line-up. Fortunately, there was no crowd and managed to get a ticket for the 6:15pm show.

As usual, 15 minute bugged up with the advertisement. Shell was advertising the Aston Martin DBS like anything in the papers. The show starts itself with chasing of Bond and loosing the side door of Aston Martin. Here, I could see there are no special functionality of this Aston Martin DBS, like other James Bond vehicle. The beginning of the show, Bond is under the official role. So, the car must get some what hi-fi equipment. Unfortunately, this is not even bullet proof. There comes the start of cost cutting (Financial Crisis). I was comparing the other James Bond movie vehicles. Casino Royale shows Aston Martin DBS V12 and Ford Mondeo. Both equipped with all hi-fi systems and security equipments, even the special gun of Bond. This one, nothing and the car becomes vegetable in the first scene itself.

There was some draw-back for this movie show in Malaysian theaters. Bond travels across the world and communicating people in their local languages. None of the local languages are translated into English in Malaysian theaters; instead to Malay. Those doesn't know Malay, come to watch this movie won't understand a 25% due to this. May be that too a part of cost cutting in local model. Another example of Financial Crisis.

The movie is under PG category, but I feels it should be under Adults only Category. Last part, it shows some private part of a girl. May be the authorities enjoyed that and forgot to give. Is this another cost cutting model ?
