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.

Hitman -

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."
The trick to watching IMAX is not to sit too close(you'll wrench your neck)or too far(looks like a regular screen). The cartoon(original and second version)were over-the-top and that's how the movie should be. To be any other way, wouldn't be true to the series.
If another installment is made, the Dinobots with Grimlock, Sharktacon's etc, should be introduced along with the flying city that's also a Deceptacon.
Bruce Lee's flick's had no reedeming quality except that you wanted to see him kick ass.
