Furious 7

"Vengeance hits home"



I know what y'all are thinking: He said that he was going offline until June. What's he doing online? Well, the answer is: Furious 7. I just couldn't miss it! This is the first movie I watched from the list of movies I was excited to watch. Unfortunately, this was the last time we see Paul Walker up on the big screen. The next movie won't be the same without him.

The crew thought it was all over after removing Owen Shaw from the picture. But when Deckard Shaw begins killing members of the crew to avenge his dead brother, Dominic and his team get embroiled in another kill-or-be-killed situation. Forced to obtain a shady computer program for the US government, and stopping Shaw at the same time, Toretto and his team have no choice but to jump back into the world they thought they had finally escaped from. 

I must say, this was the best movie so far in the series. Since Paul Walker died while filming was still on, they used CGI to incorporate him into a few scenes. It was flawless; I couldn't even make out which scenes were filmed with CGI and which ones with Walker himself. It was an emotional send-off for Paul, with a montage of him from the first six movies, finishing with to words, 'For Paul'. 
The stunts were crazy, especially when they drive out of a plane! I didn't know that they actually drove the cars out of plane during filming, instead of using animation and special effects. Paul Walker was unforgettable, and his amazing final performance was aided by brilliant acting from Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez. Introducing Jason Statham was one of the best ideas anyone could have had for the movie. He was, in one word, epic. Nobody else could have played Deckard Shaw as well as he did. The movie was also humorous due to the duo of Tyrese Gibson and Chris Bridges, with their badass one-liners and jokes! James Wan, the director, is better known for his horror movies. His use of different camera angles throughout the film was smart. If you are looking for high-octane action, crazy stunts and rapid car-chases, this movie is for you. So far, the best movie in the series so far.
