Brilliant in 3D

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2007)

This movie is actually the best one in the genre (if you see '80s cartoons as a movie genre). It has a lot of funny moment, while the plot is being built up. It has very few of the original transformers (there are like 5 Autobots and 5 Decepticons) but they all have a personality and they really act accordingly (although Prime is a bit less static than wee remember him). The movie is a rock solid 8 out of 10. So why did I give it 9 out of 10? In the original movie (cartoon movie) there is a fight between Megatron and Optimus Prime, Prime says it's the final show down "one shall walk, one shall fall". I really loved that and this new movie honors that. Like the little bumblebee in the windscreen of Bumblebee, the "more than meets the eye" theme is worked into the movie and the only thing they neglected is to put (a new version of) the old theme in with the end titles. Maybe in the next one ;)
