Ok here we go an another exciting movie review. this one happens to be Michael Bay's Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen.
As we know in 2007 the first movie was intense and had me on the edge of my seat for almost three hours. When I left the theater, I didnt trust any cars in the parking lot.
Anyways to make this better there came a sequel in 2009. Story continues on about our favorite characters Bumblebee and Sam and of course my favorite Optimus Prime.
Transformers 2 was very intense and balls to the wall, its even better than the origional and with the introduction of new characters and such. Also its one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Very well done and almost flawless production values, plotlines and acting.
Transformers 2 makes the Star Wars prequels look like a fucking joke. I highly recommend this movie.
Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen gets a perfect 6 stars out of 5 ******
Well I seem to have set my standards a little too high, judging by the previews I was way too excited for this movie. Im talking about Star Trek 2009. The movie was directed by JJ Abrams the creater of the Fox television series Fringe. In short you take Fringe, Plus some elements of Star Wars and add an overdose of crack, you got Star Trek 2009.
Story begins with death of Kirks father. He became captain of a starship for only few minutes buying his crew some time to escape from an attack of a romulan ship. Among that crew was his pregnant wife who went into childbirth upon his death.
Im not so sure of how the plot was supposed to happen. But theres a reason for the timeline shift making the storyline almost completly off base from the story we all know, also take into consideration that the origional cast of star trek is either old or dead and cant really fit into this movie.
Ok my next topic, The Enterprise. What the fuck is this. The designs I saw looked pretty cool but seeing as how many things went wrong further on really pissed me off. First of all im pretty sure the crew on the bridge didnt look out a windshield. Yes a windshield. And you can see the front of the dish ourside (aka. the hood of your car). There was so much sunglare in every scene I thought I was driving east at 6:30 in the morning. Plus the bridge was one deck to low. That was wrong. Also the interior of engineering was all nothing but pipes going every which way. it doesnt fit to the design of the ship or even the bridge. Like Ive read before from another review, it looked like a nuclear power plant.
To bring an old concept back to life, set design is a must. I dont know what to make of this movie. yes the story line makes sense thanks to a young Jim Kirk stumbling upon a very old Spock, but thats all it does. But you wont be able to decide if this movie can some how fit in with the ones we all grew up with. The question remains, do I want to see more of this via a sequel or should they just give up and let it be........
I cant decide for you, this is just my opinion, all I can say is see it for yourself.....
I give Star Trek 2009 a well deserved 2 stars out of 5 **
