Transformers totally rocks!
A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war was being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasted off in search of it. He eventually tracked it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sent him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forced him into a paralyzed state. His body was later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, and before going into a comatose state Megatron used the last of his energy to engrave a map, showing the location of the Allspark, into the Captain's glasses, and send a transmission to Cybertron. He is then carted away by the Captain's ship. A century later, Sam Witwicky, nicknamed Spike by his friends, buys his first car. To his shock, he discovers it to be Bumblebee, an Autobot in disguise who is to protect Spike, as he bears the Captain's glasses and the map carved on them. But Bumblebee is not the only Transformer to have arrived on Earth - in the desert of Qatar, the Decepticons Blackout and Scorponok attack a U.S. military base, causing the Pentagon to send their special Sector Seven agents to capture all "specimens of this alien race," and Spike and his girlfriend Mikaela find themselves in the middle of a grand battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons, stretching from Hoover Dam all the way to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, within the depths of the Pentagon, the cryogenically stored form of Megatron awakens...Sourced from IMDB
Watched it last Friday with a couple of friends and can easily concluded this is one of the best movie this year thus far. The story is a bit lame and the noble intention of the Autobots is a bit hard to be real but who cares, it's adapted from a cartoon in the 80s after all (no offense to the die hard Transformer fans). So how to make this more palatable to the people in the new century? Director Michael Bay made a total remake of the robots (especially megatron, he look so bad ass now as compare to his original cartoon model), a tweak into the storyline and add in a sexy Megan Fox, viola! You got another big hit box office! This movie thrills from the minute it started until the minute you left your seat!
The robots seemed so real and there was nothing to complain, i can see them transforming whole day and still said 'COOL' at the end of the day!
The actions are very fast paced and perhaps, too fast paced that sometimes i don't even know who whacked who. All the robots look the same in the heat of the battle, they looked like a pile of metals and the two most outstanding one are only Optimus Prime and Megatron, mainly because of their size.
Was not having a high expectation when i entered the cinema, but wow, it did blew me away! Spider man 3 seemed to be a total failure after you watch this. Just make sure u bring enough tissue when u see Megan Fox check out the engine of Bumblebee.
Megan Fox is the hottest babe, stand aside Megatron!
