Transformers at the IMAX theater


.
Saw 'Transformers' last week. It was too much of everything...serious overkill. On an IMAX screen, the robots were way too big on the close-up shots and it was nonstop explosions. I might have been a better experience on a regular sized movie screen. A close-up of an already giant robot on a screen six stories high didn't go over so well.

I guess I've gotten too old.

I tend to read and listen to certain critic's reviews first, critics that I trust, before deciding whether or not to $pend money to see a movie. It's more economical that way, don't you think?

Also, I don't think Roger Ebert is biased towards any particular type of movie. He wouldn't be respected as much as he is if that were the case.

The movie might have been better in a regular cinema, on a IMAX screen, it was just waaay too much. It was kinda like a naturally beautiful woman wearing waay too much makup, jewelry and perfume. I'm not panning the movie itself, just viewing it in IMAX wasn't a good experience. Wnen it comes out on Blu-Ray, I will rent it and see if I feel any differently.

I honestly think that if you were to go watch this movie and THEN read his review, you would see that he didnt pay attention to the movie at all.

Lethal Weapon, Terminator, all had sequels to them and while each one was different, they all had a new story behind them.....I think the same thing applies to this movie.

Also , check your email.....as I am sending you something to read.
I usually wait to see an intense action movie at least three times before forming an opinion.
I mean, there is just soooo much happening in movies these days that it's hard to take it all in from one viewing.

I've got to "learn" the movie before I enjoy it.
It was never intended for adults. You would need to ask someone in the target audience, e.g., a 9 year old boy, if it is "good."
