Now don’t get me wrong; I remember the Transformers. I also remember the Go-Bots and Weebulls. However I just didn’t think I would ever type these words: This Movie Was Awsome. In a Summer filled with sequals and unoriginal plots, I wasn’t expecting much from this outing about kids toys on the big-screen. Michael Bay has made me rethink my first-impression prejudice.
The film is right up there with Independence Day. You remember the Will Smith sci-fi spectacular? Both films are equally as entertaining and pretty similar. Both are about the impending doom coming to Earth. Both have the Government hiding a secret. Both took a mediocre star (Will Smith) and changed the way we perceive him (Shia LaBeouf). Without ruining any of the film; it’s pretty much your Doomsday Vehicle for Summer. With one exception: It’s FUN! The Cars, the Bots, and the sets are amazing to look at. Each left me wanting another huge chase or battle to erupt. The scale at which the film takes place is just worth the ticket price.
If you are into the Transformers (kids or adults) I think you will feel that this movie has treated the characters on a grand-scale. However if your looking for true action Die Hard 4 is still showing. However I have to say this: This movie was far more entertaining and Optimus Prime never told Megatron “Yippie Kay Yae Mother…!”
If you see one Transformer film this Summer make sure this is it. However I hear John Travolta gives the Auto-Bots a run for their money.
Don’t miss our upsoming KID PIX on Transformers the Game for the 360!
One week ago , I found myself on a plane flying out to sunny Encino, California. Believe me I was excited to be one of the first to see Call of Duty 4 running on an Xbox 360. Once at the airport I met up with a few other community members who got the special golden ticket to this community event. We hopped on our shuttle and were off to Infinity Ward.
Once we got there and got inside we were greeted by the community manager and we were handed name tags that had our names and gamertags printed on them. First thing on our itinerary was a tour of the studio.
