Red Carpet and Gala Premiere
.
Julian Cheung and Charmaine
Sheh came for the red carpet. As they walked down the glamourous red carpet,
for a moment, I felt like I was photographing a wedding couple walking down the
aisle. They really look charming and beautiful.

Movie Review
Movie Synopsis :
Young pilot Branson (Louis KOO)
recently takes over Skylette, his father’s aviation empire, only to realize his
old flames Cassie (Charmaine SHEH) is a flight attendant there. Several years
ago, he was forced to break up with her and move to New York to take care of
his father's business. To this day, the two continue to harbour feelings for
each other but decide to keep them bottled up. In an effort to rebrand the
airline,Branson invites rock idol TM to
star in an upcoming commercial and appoints Sam (Francis NG) as her flying
consultant. Incongruent in both tastes and experience, this odd couple gets off
on the wrong foot. As the shoot progresses, however, they slowly discover each
other's merits, developing a strong mutual attraction.
Jayden (Julien CHEUNG) has left
Skylette Airline to become a pilot for private jets. He meets the young and
vivacious Kika (KUO Tsai Chieh) during a flight and assumes her to be wayward
and shallow. But they turn out to have a lot in common and start falling madly
in love. At the height of their romance, Jayden realizes almost too late the
secret behind her recalcitrance…
Each of the three relationships
comes with its own setbacks. As long as one can accept the imperfection of
things, finding happiness—however fleetingly—is a blessing in itself.

Review / Ratings
I have been a fan of this Hong Kong
drama television drama, Triumph In The Skies (2003) and II (2013) and naturally
I am curious and excited when this new movie came along. Curious as to how the
story goes for a movie as compared to the fame television drama.
According to the directors, by
adapting a television drama with a 10 years of history, the biggest headache is
how can the story move forward while bringing something new to the audience.
Both directors took this challenging task together. As they have collaborated
in the past, they agree to give this movie a romantic boost and hope to make
the movie the year’s biggest romance hit.
In my opinion, it is much easier
to understand the background and characteristics of Captain Cool (Julian
Cheung) and Captain Sam Tong (Francis Ng) if you have watched the television drama.
It is like a continuation from
television drama. The beautiful scenery settings from UK were the winning
ingredient for a romantic movie. Just like in the drama I and II, where they
were filmed in Rome, Sapporo, UK, France, Hainan, Kaohsiung, Kenting etc. With the addition of Captain Branson (Louis
KOO) and Cassie (Charmaine SHEH) love story, there were three separate romantic
couple. Love thus conquers all obstacles. As movie goers, we just love happy
endings. In fact, to be more precise, there are actually five love stories. One
of them is between Kenneth Ma and Elena Kong. Only those who have watch the
television drama 2, will be able to recall their relationship.
In conclusion, there was not much storyline in this movie.
Romantic couples simply having a fun time together. One of memorable moment was
when Captain Sam Tong and TM (Sammi Cheng) having a laughable time shooting a
Skylette airlines commercial. I shall give this movie a rating of 3/5.
The movie will be showing in the cinema on the 19 February 2015.
