Garuda flies in

Touted as a breakthrough for digital moviemaking in Thailand's film industry, Garuda opened today. It's a monster movie, featuring the half-man, half-eagle of Hindu lore.

From what I can tell of the preview, the digging of the tunnel for Bangkok's subway wakes one of these fearsome beasts up, and it takes to the skies, laying waste to Bangkok, including the overly crowded, firetrap of a shopping mall, MBK. Yeah!

There really wasn't much more than a glimpse of the actual critter in the preview. Mainly, it's a lot of buff-looking Thai actors, pointing guns around - sort of like some of the Korean military thrillers like Shiri or 2009 Lost Memories. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, so Garuda may get a view from me when I've cleared some other items from my plate first.
