My take on this Reboot of the Classic

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2014)

My first ever movie review: I absolutely loved this movie and for this particular reason, the great sense of realism tied in with a great character storyline made this not just a "Transformers" movie, or "pacific rim" in the sense that it was a throw back to the movies such as "Alien" or "Jaws". The sense of anticipation, tension and creating that theatre moment, that practically has you salivating leading up to the big reveal! And when it hits, boy, it gets it spot on, the shots and cinematography are nothing short of majestic, and a great deal of credit must go to the director. This is a movie that could have failed in so many ways,and yet the simplicity and sense of beauty and realism captured in this film makes you appreciate the art of telling a story and getting emotionally involved in the characters. This film shouldn't be categorized as just another Monster movie, It's a solid story with great scene sequences and above all that it captures personality....A must see!
