More than Meets the Eye - Micheal Bay's Epic

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2011)

I loved this movie. I loved everything about it, from the smallest characters to the massive robots. One thing I admired the most is that this movie has a lot of heart. Visually captivating and engaging in every way, it's equivalent to embarking on a long summer vacation and having the absolute time of your life. It also contains a mesmerizing musical score that gives me chills when I hear it, for example: the scene where the Autobots crash land on earth.
I was never a fan of the toys/cartoons of the 80's. What happened was when this movie came out, a friend of mine at camp wanted to see it so I went with her one night when we were both off. It blew me away and right away became one of my favorite movies of all time. This also reminded me that you appreciate a movie more when it's released at a special time in your life.(I was at a summer camp interning) I'm glad I associate this movie with my camp memories from summer, 2007.
Now people say Michael Bay is all special effects/explosions and no substance. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE. He's one of the best directors we have today and he knows how to combine emotion and action and this is evidenced very well in Transformers.
Mr. Bay, if you're reading this....Keep up the great work and don't let all the negativity sway you from your visions and dreams.
