Movie Review :: "Transformers" (2007)
{*my review as copied-over from my Facebook Flixster application post*}
"The Matrix" set a new bar for cinematic expectation, ability, enterainment, and evolution... The new "Transformers" movie is 2 notches above that, and is an incredible form of cinematic evolution. It does an epic job of balancing SPFX, the Human drama, character build, humor, action, wit, geekdom, music score perfection, emotional power, and smart conceptual future-technology projections. This is a "must own" film, a "must see in a theater - multiple times" film, and is due awards for cinematics, technical film evolution, and acting. I absolutely enjoyed every aspect of this new rendition of classic '80's old school ideation :D It's great on it's own, but sets a perfect stage for future potential sequels.
GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE.
Credit Watch :: Don't be in a rush to leave the theater, folks! There are 3 additional short scenes embedded within the beginning of the end credits, the last of which is particularly important to sequel set-up. After that is a traditional white-on-black text scroll-up, with no further or end scenes in the credits. Only 4 SPFX companies were used beyond the in-house production team.
