Movie review: Transformers…

Movie review from the bottom of my heart: Transformers…

Directed by Michael Bay, this movie brought back the kid in you. I felt like I was 8 yrs young again. The movie’s based on the 80s action figures and cartoons. The "action figures" were a RAVE back in mid-80s. Back then, Transformers action figures were in toy stores everywhere from 1984 to 1987; before it’s overshadowed by "MASK", another action figures. I don’t get to own a single Transformers toy as it’s expensive back then (a 1:32 toy costs RM30 back in 1987). AND my dad thinks I’m too young to appreciate it (I was 7 yrs young back then).

This movies answered my questions, doubts and mysteries unsolved since I was 8 yrs young. I felt that it’s a touching movie. Imagine your favourite cartoon/action figures being brought back to life again in "Real Life". Few of us, including me cried towards the end of the movie. Even so, when I saw a Mid-30s man watching the movie with his child, sharing or passing on his childhood passion to the next generation.

It’s quite a long movie @ 2 hrs and 20 mins. Action, action AND more action from the beginning till the end. The plot is revealed slowly… Optimus prime and gang appeared late, after slightly 1 hour of the movie.

Loved the "transforming sound" carried over from the cartoon, loved the jaw dropping QUICK transforming sequences made possible by CGI animation. Also, loved the "High tech Nokia handphone" which amazingly transformed to small robot. I have only 1 complaint, the Fighting sequence is too confused, especially between Optimus prime and Decepticons. difficulty seeing the actions. (eyes pain following the sequence - made worse by sitting @ 5th row in TGV One Utama. Equivalent to 1st row, Cineleisure).

This is no doubt the "BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR", does almost everything good. An action film which happened to have a dish of romance and humour thrown in. I rate it A+. GO WATCH it, especially so if you are an 80s babies… Relive your childhood memories. NOW ALLTOGETHER: "AUTOBOTS, transform and Roll out!!!".

Ps. Today 07.07.07 is a special date. Many people in Malaysia tied the knots. Even ALL Major dailies have special supplements. Eg. Today in history, those born on 7.7.77, Why is it auspicious etc…

BANG!!! Car hit by...

BANG!!! Car hit by…

BANG!!! My FORD got hit by a TAXI on a Crossroad of 17/29, 17/22, 17/24 near my house on 9 Jan 2007, 8.15pm…

It was a Crossroad I was going straight at 17/22 (Main road), the TAXI was trying to get to the opposite road (From 17/29 to 17/24) . The taxi was out of my sight as it was blocked by 2 cars. Taxi was in outermost lane at the junction… Suddenly, I saw a taxi appear and I can’t brake on time and BANG!!!

Any Damages? Front door "kemek" (see pictures), rear door deep scratched. The taxi damage, front bonnet corner dented, bumper misaligned and signal light broke.

Me and the taxi driver went to Report police. They were very inefficient, took almost 3 hours to complete a police report. I was there on 9.20pm, took 1 hour queueing up despite only 7 cases infront of me (only 1 police officer on duty, only joined by another at 10.30pm!!! Another 30 mins waiting to use the computer to type out the report. Another 15 minutes for them to print out the report and pass to sargeant. 20 minutes waiting to see the sargeant. 15 mins seeing the sargeant. HALF AND HOUR WAITING for the POLICE CAMERAMAN. Lame excuse of going to Sprint highway, taking pictures in a Fatal Accident. IT WAS 12.20pm when the whole POLICE REPORT THINGY ended… EXACTLY 3 HOURS!!!

Happy New Year 2007
