wooohoooo, managed to catch the premier of initialD at gv tiong bahru during their family day event! as it was free seating, i was prepared to stand/seat at the stairs at the back of the cinema for the ~2hrs movie. but the event coordinator wanted everyone to get a seat else got to leave the cinema. Zzzzz but nvm, kt and i got a seat at the 1st row, corner seat.

before the movie starts, i was thinking it wasn’t that bad after all having such a “close” experience for such “action” movie. thus i was happy that i was sitting so near! *grinz* was quite a spectacular sight to see the cars drift right before me.

crappy funny in some scenes, wasn’t crappy funny in plain text but imo, its crappy funny when the actor acted out the scenes!
Bunta Fujiwara – Yuuichi Tachibana:
“one day he was telling me that there’s something wrong with his eyes so i bought him to the optician for checkup. after the checkup, the optician mentions that there’s nothing wrong with his eyes 20/20. so i told him, don’t try to be funny, not afraid that i will bashed you up? he then told me, "when i was driving, everything seems to be getting slower and slower." at that moment, i realize he is getting faster and faster.. ”

the puking scenes of Itsuki Tachibana and Yuuichi Tachibana after taking a ride round Mt Akina from Takumi Fujiwara and Bunta Fujiwara respectively.


touching scenes,
though Bunta Fujiwara was seen as an abusive dad, but knowing how devastated Takumi Fujiwara was after his precious AE86 broke down during an impromptu challenge from Kyouichi Sudou causing him to lose the race, he spent days and nights repairing and setting up a racer engine for Takumi in the risk of getting caught for illegal car modifying.


racing scenes,
so-so, normal? its different from those racing movies but the focus is how prefect the drift is being executed on those downhill roads.


the plot,
“having a high school tofu delivery boy as the no.1 downhill racer in Mt Akina” is common but i liked haha!


the scenaries,
nice scenaries at the start of the movie, CoooooooooL!


the movie may fail some expectation for comic lovers of initialD but I felt that its real hard to be the same as what ppl imagined from reading the comics. thus, enter the theater with a “tranquility” heart and enjoy the movie.

find the world that belongs to you -Initial D


*edited
even newpaper jounalist comment the scenario i mentioned in crappy scene 1 is worth the money in the show
