Transformers
July 5, 2007
Being pleasantly surprised with a summer “blockbuster” is a rare occurrence for me these days but that’s exactly what happened last night during ‘Transformers’ I have to admit I went in with a laundry list of things I was expecting to dislike about the film but to my surprise not one of them popped up, not even once. This film puts the action back in action films; I might even go as far to say my old line of “what ever happened to films like ‘Indiana Jones’? might have been answered last night.
The desert attack scenes were about as exciting as anything I’ve seen in recent action flicks, all of the CGI was spot on and the overall storyline progressed at a pace that was refreshing compared to the typical popcorn flick. I’m not even all that familiar with the Transformers and had no problem recognizing the key elements of the back-story. As “action heroes” go Michael Bay managed to bring these guys to life better than I ever expected.
To be honest I don’t think I’ve had that much fun with a big summer blockbuster since ‘Independence Day’ wow that’s a scary thought unto itself. I really look forward to adding this disc to our library this fall, (knock on wood) the print I saw was sharp, colorful and chock full of detail; it should make for one heck of a demo disc.
