Ok, so going to the movies on a request from a friend yesterday actually turned out to be a really good idea.
I hadn't known that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had come out recently, I wasn't really keeping track of a lot of things that have been going on lately for lack of want to know and just plain lazyness. So imagine my surprise when one of my friends told me they were going to go see it last night. I was surprised the movie had come out and disappointed that I wouldn't be able to go and watch it with them since they're all a couple states away from me and no car could ever get me there fast enough. My friend insisted I go see it the same time they went to go see it, so I made a deal that if I found a movie time for Transformers that was around the same period of time they were going to see it I'd go and we could geek out over the phone after. Now, I only did this because I was sure there couldnt possibly be a movie showing at the exact same time that my friends were going to their movie, right? ...Right?
There it was, staring me right at the face. 10:15 pm, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, at the movie theater not ten minutes away from me. I purchased the tickets and was out the door before I even knew what I was doing.
All I can really say for the movie without revealing anything is that it was amazing beyond even what I thought was possible. The new designs they had come up with for some of the Autobots were cool, but the designs for the various forms of the Decepticons were much much cooler. Sorry Autobots, but Decepticons just look cooler, especially the big cat one. (I was a bigger fan of Transformers: Beast Wars than I was of the original Transformers, hoorah for feeding my inner nerd and child all at once) It was also much more brutal than the first one, but that's all I have to say for now. My recommendation is to go see this film immediately while it's still in theaters, this is not something you want to wait the DVD (Or Blu-ray) release of.
Till next time...
