Storyline:
The plot, which takes place between the events of Tekken 5 and Tekken 6, begins with Anna Williams setting up a decoy for her sister, Nina Williams, who is currently working with the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama. Anna, on the other hand, works for Jin's father, Kazuya Mishima and its rival organization, G Corporation. Both are seeking information about a student named Shin Kamiya, and Anna dispatches a Chinese student Ling Xiaoyu to act as a spy, while Jin sends humanoid robot Alisa Bosconovitch for a similar purpose.
During their investigation, Xiaoyu and Alisa form a friendship, although they are forced to turn against one another when Shin is captured by an unknown assailant. It is here that Alisa is revealed to be a cyborg - although Alisa believes she possesses human qualities after she spares Xiaoyu's life. After coming to terms with each other, Xiaoyu is abandoned by Anna and G Corporation, and the two girls flee from their previous organizations, taking refuge in their teacher, Lee Chaolan's mansion.
Xiaoyu and Alisa eventually discover genetic experiments had been done on Shin and his classmates, and believe that the Mishima family is seeking Shin, the sole survivor, and M gene subject, for his immortality...

Review:

Not playing the game more than a few time's, I'm not really familiar with the story and the characters, so I can't say how true to the game the movie is. What I can say is that I'm not thrilled with the story and the voice acting.The CGI animations is fantastic, as are the fights. Since I don't know much about the game there is not more I can say about the movie. I say: Watch it! Maybe you'll like it.

Director: Brad Bird
Writer: Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec,

Storyline:

This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this.

Review:

I'm sitting and thinking what to write. Trying to reflect on the good and the bad things in the movie. And fact is that that there isn't anything bad in it. The toys are cool, the cars are great, the locations are spectacular,...then we have the action scenes, good, smart story...I just loved it! Definitely a film to see!
