Beer at the cinema, free treats and water with the coupe de grace, my personal favourite little finishing touch the most 80's retro 3D shades imaginable. This was not simply going to the movies, it was a perfect red carpeted celebrity filled Sunday evening.
Now in this day and age, when you say Transformers to me, before last weekend I would have shuddered. But alas I am an eletist of the old school... Transformers? Kids today, wouldnt know a Transformer if it bit it in the ass. Regardless there is never an occassion where walking in to a new experience with a closed mind is an option, not in this world.
Oh how I was due to swallow my words, its not the same dealio, not by any means. But it was graphic entertainment at its best. This is not something to be watched in the comfort of your living room, lone wolf or posse, get yourself to a big screen and melt into the seat.
Leonard Nimoy is back for any and all incredibly geeked out chicks such as my self who have been crushing on him since back in the teleportation days his presence alone is enough to make your insides sky rocket a little further than any other mere mortal could.
Shia LeBeouf is as entertaining as ever in his clearly natural geek state, Rosie HW has a placid background charm that suits the film far better than her predecessor, and in true Michael Bay style the out dated casting of a token black guy is optimized by throwing Tyrese in the mix.
Dont mean to be getting agro with that comment, but aren’t we a little bit past that? Like ooh look we included one of you people, and of course his body puts the rest of them to shame. Us ethnic minorities we just have the natural edge in that realm, come on America catch up.
But alas the humans are the downfall... its all about the bots. In many respects on an underlying level Mr Bay pays tribute to the 80's animated film. Anyone who has seen that as many times as I have could spot the detailing a mile off, that element alone turns this film from a regular cinema experience into something a fair bit more intellectually worthy.
It runs on about 20mins longer than it should, but the action and those graphics really are something incredibly special, if nothing else will win you over that will. To conclude for you cool kids it gets the Urban Species stamp of approval. This one's worth a watch.
Peace out,
Miss Phoenix. x
