Transformers
Went to an advanced screening last night. Overall the movie was a fun engaging ride, but corny and campy as hell. Can't help but smile as the stupidness of certain situations and lines. Many of the action scenes were beautiful though. The transformers themselves are a pleasure to watch even when not engaged in battle. There is far more human than robot screen time however, but doesn't really detract from the movie. The audience cheered when a transformer they recognized first appeared. Optimus Prime's intro especially. Starscream got the biggest reaction for the Decepticons...but sadly he received hardly any screen time and only had one line of speech which didn't really sound like the Starscream of yore. They had the Xbox 360 game to play in the lobby but I didn't get to try it. The ushers seemed to make a big deal about trying out the game and started the movie a few minutes later to allow for more people to play it. Guess was one of main reasons for the screening. Best part about advanced screening: no commercials before hand. That was lovely. Oh, and free posters. Yay. Not sure if worth your money if you aren't a fan already. Although if are interested in seeing, it's one of those movies that is much better on a big screen.
