Watched the Incredibles today. It's so cool!
*Spoiler*
Mr. Incredible is a single superhero, but he is not single for long in this movie. He asks if Elasticgirl is free that night, and after saving a cat and a person who jumps out of a building, he gets married with her. However, the person doesn't want to be saved so he sued Mr. Incredible. Other people also sued the superheros. The superheros are forced into hiding.
Fifteen years later, Mr. Incredible is working as an insurance consultant. He keeps helping the client because he is still a superhero inside.
His son, Dash, is a fast kid. He tagged his teacher and got caught on tape. His mum is angry and informs Mr. Incredible, who is happy for his son's speed and not get caught. Violet, their daughter, has a crush on Tony. Two kids fight each other and Elasticgirl has her hands full. When Frozeman comes into the door, they suddenly become very obedient. Mr. Incredible is going bowling.
However, the men are not bowling on the street. They are listening to the police radio. They manage to save some people from a burning building by jumping into a jewllery store. Frozeman has to freeze a police officer to get away.
On top of everything, Mr. Incredible gets fired after throwing his boss through several layers of wall.
He gets contacted by a silver hair girl to fight a machine on an island. He makes a lot of money from this venture. He is also working out so he will be thinner around the waist. He has been ignoring his figure after the marriage.
One day, when Mrs. Incredible is cleaning, she finds a silver hair on Mr. Incredible's suit. She also notices that Mr. Incredible's suit is patched up. She calls Edna immediately.
Edna invites her to her place.
Apparently, Mr. Incredible has requested a new suit from Edna, and she has been busy making The Incredibles new suits. Elasticgirl's suit is stretchy. Violet's suit can become invisible. Dash's suit can withstand the friction and heat because he is very fast. These suits are basically indestructable.
Edna has put a homing device on Mr. Incredible's suit, so Elasticgirl can find Mr. Incredible.
She goes home, Dash discovers their suit. The two kids stow away on their mother's jet and follows her to the island.
Meanwhile, Mr. Incredible has to combat a machine that's very hard to kill. He discovers only the machine itself can destroy it. He rides into Syndrome's volcanic hide-out only ending up captured by Syndrome. Syndrome was Mr. Incredible's no. 1 fan, without any power, he invented rockets so he can fly, and magnetic pulse that can envelope the superheros. He also invented the machine to kill superheros. He aims to fight the machine and become the new superhero in the city. Mr. Incredible discovers Syndrome's password, but it's too late now.
Mrs. Incredible's airplane arrives at the island. Syndrome sends out missiles to destroy the plane and The Incredible family. Elasticgirl asks Violet to generate a force field to protect them, but she couldn't. Mrs. Incredible has to form a parachute for the children. After they fall into the ocean, Dash uses his leg as propeller, and Elasticgirl turns into a boat to take Violet to the island.
The silver hair girl releases Mr. Incredible. Elasticgirl goes off by herself to rescue Mr. Incredible. They kiss. The kids get discovered and chased by Syndrome's soldiers on hovercrafts in the morning. They are unharmed. The sequence is beautifully done. Mr. Incredible and Elasticgirl destroy these hovercrafts together. This fighting scene is great!
Syndrome sends a rocket to the Metroville. It is another machine that destroy anything around it. The Incredibles take a van. Elasticgirl holds onto the van and attach herself on the rocket. They crush to the ground. Frozeman comes to help. The city is in chaos. The soldiers are unable to stop the beasty machine. A lot of people died.
They defeat the machine by sending a part of itself through the middle of it. Syndrome fails to impress the crowd and escapes.
Syndrome captures Jack Jack, the baby in the family. As he tries to get into his airplane, Jack Jack turns into a fireball and metal to fight Syndrome. He can't hold onto the baby. Syndrome's cape gets caught in the airplane's engine and blows the plane up. Mr. Incredible throws Elasticgirl up so she can rescue the baby.
Three months later, Dash runs in a running competition and wins the second place. Violet asks Tony out for a movie on Friday. Another villan appears on the street in a large machine, so The Incredibles are working as a team again!
I love it. The story is fast paced, and the characters are lovable. I like Holly Hunt's voice as Elasticgirl. And also Edna. She is so cool.
Two seminars are about Lake Kinneret and Towards Sustainable Buildings seminar. The Lake seminar is done by an Israeli professor.
Lake Kinneret is connected to the Jordan River and the Dead Sea. It's a salt lake because water is drawn from the lake for human use and brackish water leaks into the lake. High salt promotes the growth of algae, and they use up the carbon dioxide in the lake and produce toxins.
The sustainable buildings are buildings that utilize natural ventilation and lighting. Some examples are the Canterbury Mathematical and Computer School, Auckland Univerisity of Technology campus, and Paraparaumu library. Some advance examples are Landcare Research in Auckland and Gore Leisure Centre. These buildings have glass windows to let sunlight in, and windows that open when it is too hot and close when it is too cold. Some windows are controlled automatically. There are also shade that open and close when desired.
My brain is filled with new knowledge and the experiment is going well. I am so happy.
