Agressive, huh?
Saw the movie @ on 3D IMAX @ SM City last night, and it was soooo worth the bucks for the advanced screening.
The plot: was kinda that subtle save-the-world-get-the-girl-guy-and-his-car/friend-and-guy-and-his-guy-issues. Yes, a plot we’ve seen countless times. But as one of my fave authors said, those are just the details. Now the story, that’s something else. This was exactly that.
New characters: With Transformers 3,this is undoubtedly the new girlfriend. I think the new girl is pretty gorgeous. Not to diss Megan Foxx, kudos to her for bringing in more to the girlfriend role in the first two transformers movies, but Rosie Whitely is like Megan Foxx with more class, I’d say. Anyway, I like it that she was able to pack in just the right amounts of sexy, playful, class and even some seriousness in the character. Not all hot and bothered and sexy like the girlfriend characters in the last two movies. This one’s like a breath of fresh air that you didn’t know you needed. I don’t think anyone thought the first girlfriend character needed any tweaking until Carly.
Yes, McDreamy was there but I don’t think Patrick Dempsey can play the sleazy bad guy half as well as he can play the heart of gold surgeon. A bit of a disappointment.
John Malkovich was there as well. This actor is incredible and I’m a huuuuge fan. That’s why I found myself wishing he had a bigger part in this installment. Well, maybe next time.
New bots: tons! the ickle ones get to see action, in fact play quite a big role though no one in the movie was aware of it. Unsung heroes, as it were.
Shockwave is this uber heavyweight decepticon which Optimus Prime destroys. No surprise there.
Then there’s Sentinel, whose supposed to be the robot version of Einstein and the Autobot leader. We later on find out that he turns out to be traitor and was on his way to rendezvous with Megatron when he crash landed in the moon (ours) and Megatron crash landed on Earth. Yeah, this installment is all about our planet, our moon, us.
And the graphics: it was absolutely, positively, all around AWESOME. For every few minutes, all throughout the movie. I’m not a really big fan of IMAX or 3D, I thought super clear visuals and hyper sound was already great and didn’t see the need for something else. But IMAX 3D was built for this movie, so yes, splurge on this.
All in all, I’d say Michael Bay’s best yet.
Oh, and aside from the food pack (which doesn’t qualify as pack as it didn’t include drinks), they gave out Transformers buttons at the end of the movie. Ever lucky in these kinds of things, I was the only one to get a Bumblebee one in our party. Yay!
