Giant Robots at the Movies
Posted by Patrick on Sunday, July 15, 2007
Today we went to see a movie that I've been wanting to see for some time. And while it was quite different from the last Transformers movie, it was also pretty excellent.
Based on previews, I thought the newly updated robots were kind of goofy looking, but in the film they worked well in adding to the feeling that cars can actually transform into giant robots and walk around. I also has happy to hear Peter Cullen revising his role as the Optimus Prime character. He's got a distinct voice, and it enhanced the Tranformerishness of the story.
General Motors clearly had a heavy sponsorship role in the flick, as most of the cars were GM's. It was cool to see a Mustang in the mix, though. I didn't see any Celica's at all, which is no surprise because they haven't made them in a few years, but it does make me want to re-install Maya and try to make a CGI Celica Transformer again.
The plot didn't break any ground, but it was a very entertaining movie... if you're into the whole giant transforming robot thing.
Ps: Related to the above post, this is funny if you're into auto insurance or autobots.
