11:40 pm: okay. So the transformers movie. Just watched it the other night. I can say one thing. The special effects were killer. They were just so damn good. Most of the time when you see 3d animation composited into a film...your like...that just looks real fake. This...This looked believable on so many levels. I think it has to do with the fact that we're dealing with robots. So it works more than it would have if it was something organic. The over all movie....
It wasn't necessarily a life changing experience. It was just a fun movie. You really enjoy just watching it and witnessing the technical feats. I mean, heh, this is transformers. The concept is already ridiculous anyways. Not much needs to be thought about.
My only gripe was...that I really didn't feel ANYTHING for any of the characters. Sure I mean, I already like optimus prime cuzz he was a part of child hood. The transformers are just cool due to my previouis experiences with them. But like, take away that nostalgia factor....I just didn't feel shit for the human characters and robots. When an autobot died it was like. Oh. Okay. He died. Moving on. Michael bay obviously is not good with the human element in his films. Emotion and feelings have no place here. And when he does throw those elements in...its literally that. He throws them in. So when we lose a character or two, it's like, "Whatever".
See....I like to have that human element in my movies. I like to care about the characters. Comes down to the story telling. And this movie...just moved 90 to nothing all the way through. Even the dialogue. There was no slowing down there either. Just...kept trucking.
SO yeah.
Fun movie. Not much else there.
