Last night, i was privileged enough to watch the premier of Transformers 3 Dark Of The Moon with 4 friends courtesy of a church friend! Thank you so much!
Lets start off with the trailer here:
I would recommend this movie as Movie of the year, i must say Micheal Bay outdid himself this time round, i can't imagine if watching in 2D was great, what about 3D?
Definitely worth your time and money.
The movie is quite long about two and a half hour excluding all the cinematic trailer!
With a great line up of superstars including veteran actor John Malkovish and Frances McDormand, the old crew; Shia Lebouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyre Gibson and so.
The most funny appearance would be funny asian guy Ken Jeong which really fit his role well just being himself.
The new leading actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely fills in her role well as the girlfriend of Sam but also the Damsel in distress that does play a key-role in the end...Surprisingly! Most of the time, i though she was there for advertorial time, body or beauty but not a key-role, kudos to that.
Overall the story line was great, it followed the textbook of cinematic plot well, not leaving any missing spots or cliche moments too much, leaving a hint here and there with a big BANG of surprises and shocks to keep the viewers going and asking for more.
One little thing that changed the most was the role of Sam, he has been downgraded to playing a much smaller role and most of the time, we were being focused on the war as whole which is great because it is a intergalactic war.
Nothing more can be said about the Sentinel Prime which viewers would look on as a colossal figure of ancient power but only to be left in shock and awe few moments later in along the movie timeline.
One huge change in the movie is the emotional element, it was very well played out by the actors and the Autobots. Micheal Bay and team did a great job getting viewers to connect with the emotions running in the movie, you could understand the situation of the moment and i can say i heard a few sobs here and there in the theater during the emotional moments which is one of the movie's selling point if you asked me.
There was a underlying message which really struck me hard that Sam quoted once or twice in the movie "Do something that means something" or along that line. It got me thinking that sometimes i would want to mean something in someone or my life as well, not just living life as it is but doing something worthwhile to remember, something for the generations to come.
I wouldn't go on much longer and spoil this movie for you but I would definitely urge you to go check it out before time runs out, it would be one of the best movie you have watched this year alone. I would give it a 8 out of 10.
