Inferno 3D (逃出生天) [Oct 2013]

First, not to confuse the movie that I am about to share with the latest novel from Dan Brown which bearing the same title (Inferno). By the way, talking about the Dan Brown's version, the movie project has been confirmed and Tom Hanks will reprise the role of Robert Langdon.

 

Now, let's get back to the Asian version of Inferno that I am sharing today. As you might be aware, 3D movies from Asia is hard to come by (I guess mainly due to the budget constraint), thus, when I first chanced upon this upcoming 3D movie from Hong Kong, I can't hold my excitement as it seems that we are in for a real 3D treat!

 

Inferno 3D (逃出生天) is directed by Pang brothers (whom brought us the horror movies like The Eye and Bangkok Dangerous). It is a movie about the heroism of firefighters. Starring Louis Khoo (古天乐), Sean Lau (刘青云) and Lee Sinje (李心洁).

 

Following are the official synopsis in English and Chinese:

 

On the hottest day in 50 years, in the density packed urban centre, a serious fire incident happened to a busy commercial tower because of an unexpected phenomenon known as “flashover”. As the fire burned their conscience to the ground, those who lacked passion in their life were about to meet a gaggle of firefighters with an indestructible enthusiasm to save lives.

 

这是五十年最酷热的一天。阿强(古天乐饰)三年前离开消防部队，白手起家发展消防警报系统事业。今天，是公司资产值冲破十亿的庆功会，可惜，突如其来的“闪燃”，在全无预警下，爆发特大火灾！原本一场衣香鬓影、兴高采烈的派对，顷刻变成恐慌大逃亡。
　　烟囱效应，引发各层连环起火，爆发困兽式火灾，阿强跟一班灾民无处可逃，看着有人当场葬身火海，重燃埋藏在心中多年的救人热情，决定领人向上而逃至隔火层待救！阿强更惊见兄长的...
