tonight was a good night. It started with gal pal time (thanks holly and christy!!) at Sushi 101 and then finished with a movie date with Steve-o. Guess what movie we saw? Ahem.
If you are a child of the 80's and were ever into this cartoon, i believe you will LOVE this movie. it has action, humor, and great effects (visual and sound). i personally loved the sound of the robots transforming -- all kinds of clicks and stuff. very cool.
the acting (of the humans) or should i say, overacting, was a bit much at times-- especially the australian signal/frequency analyst girl. particulary good was the character of sam witwicky. i have no clue if the spelling is right, but i'm too lazy to google or imdb it and it's 12:15AM which is way past my bedtime. i will not spoil at all, but let's just say that i enjoyed the special relationship that developed between a man and his car. too cute. and sam was funny and cute and really endearing. he is the nerd. i love nerds.
there are several moments where this movie looks like Top Gun -- especially scenes where the guys are boarding the F-16s while the dramatic soundtrack is playing. no volleyball scenes between humans and robots though. disappointing! i was almost waiting to develop a crush on one of the autobots. would it have been Jazz? or the obvious choice, Optimus Prime? Hmm. tough call.
i was informed by Steven (a constant source of information to me) that this was a "ride" movie. it's true. you feel like you've been on a fun ride for a couple of hours. lots of oooos and ahhhhs. i left a happy camper and i didn't feel woozy or throw up. this is positive!
so, go see it!
