a visual apex

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2007)

it had been a long wait, years to be exact. i had always wanted to see a live action transformers film and unlike most people i didn't care if michael bay directed it, i just wanted to see the results of someones vision and what i saw at midnight today was an amazing. you could tell michael bay exceeded a lot of expectations especially by packing so much action into a movie that was 2 and a half hours long or so but flew by because it wasn't boring in anyway. it seems the talk about this movie circles the CGI, and i will admit that the CGI is just beyond amazing and the realism is just exact. combined with all the intricate designs, parts and details they made the transformers above and beyond what CGI in other movies has done. i could even see scratches, dents, cracks and little minor details in every transformer from beginning to end. oh i also want to add that the emotion in bumblebees eyes reminded me a lot of optimus prime dying in the first movie, thus making my eyes water and i shed a few tears, if you don't feel a thing, you're not human. the messages the movie conveys are pretty straight forward, like when ironhide asks why they're protecting the humans, since they are a primitive and violent race, that just makes you realize he spoke the truth. anyhow, having the midnight screening tickets and building anticipation to seeing it was way worth it, i love the movie and hope a lot of people go see it, i think everyone should.
