Transformers

The movie that revived the franchise and hit the cinema’s with a bang. Like all movies it was more of an introduction for all the characters from Optimus Prime to all the autobots. The movie starts with a brief background of Cybertron (the world of Autobots) being destroyed and Megatron coming to earth to attain the Allspark (the originator of transformers species). The first sequence shows one of the Decepticons (blackout) attacking a US military base in Qatar to find the location of his master, Megatron but fails. The opening sequence was so amazing that I had literally held my breath in a few sequences trying to capture the moment at hand. There are multiple attempts to identify the location of Megatron which they succeed towards the end of the feature. Bumble Bee is assigned to look for the great-great-grandson of Witwicky who found Megatron frozen in Artic. Meanwhile in present time the autobots assemble on earth taking up shapes of motor vehicles getting ready to defend Allspark at any cost.
The special effects used in the movie were breath taking. From my point of view I feel that almost 90% of the movie was CGI based. All the actors were new apart from the person that provided the voice for Optimus Prime. Michael Bay had auditioned all the surviving voices (of transformers) but chose only Peter Cullen. The reason he gave was that their voice would show ageing for the rest of them. I remember the first day I read about Hollywood making a movie on Transformers and I was all excited to see those autobots on the big silver screen changing shapes into motor vehicles, planes and metallic animals. Then came the day when they released the first images for Optimus Prime and Megatron. Not being a fan of Megatron I went for the look of Optimus.
The acting in the movie was very well done by all the cast members, of course when you are with the master of movies “Steven Spielberg” then people try and give their hundred percent. Shia LaBeouf played his part in a very realistic way thanks to the motion capture points and some of the props (if you can call that) which made him look at Optimus in the eye instead of his lips while talking (lol). Now Megan Fox is a very sexy thing. I remember first watching her in Mean Girls. She has some good movies on her credits list but she has outdone herself this time. All the rest of the cast in the movie were quite well done except for the FBI guy (John Turturro). I never liked his acting it irritates me. I have already blabbed about the special effects so I will not go there again. All in all the entire movie was fantastic personally I would rate it 9/10.

Side note: Please keep your mouth shut if you have seen the movie. I know a guy who got pissed at Alilti (radio announcer in FM96, Fiji) for spilling the beans on the movie revealing the story plot details and a number of action sequences. Now people like these should keep their mouths shut and not spoil the movie before the fans go out and see them.

Aliti went to a special screening of Transformers a day before the official premeire at V6.

The next morning, i.e the day Transformers officially premiered at V6, she blabbed about it on FM96's breakfast show. Major plot details, character story arcs, and transformations, you name it.

That's what is referred to as a SPOILER, in all forms of media. Spoiling the movie for people who haven't viewed it yet shows a complete lack of consideration, responsibility and discretion.

Not to mention that Aliti was over the moon for having seen Transformers before anyone else. Just shows the lack of sophistication and cultured manners for most people in Fiji.

Like someone said after hearing about Aliti's big mouth "You can take the bitch out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the bitch!!"

This blog was posted/written almost a WEEK after Transformers had premiered.

So, anonymous "Shithead", your comment and justification is without substance and shows your fucking immaturity. Fucking butch-dyke.
