A day late and a dollar short… thats where I fall in my viewing and review of the action movie Transformers. Here is my reaction in a few simple lines.
* The girls… attractive but not as “hot” as everyone seemed to claim
* The CGI was amazing, simply put spectacular. It should be given it took 30 hours to render some of the frames (24 frames per second keep in mind), but then again I could render some sweet CGI if I had a billion dollar car company underwrite the 144 minutes car commercial. It was nice to see the Autobots were GM vehicles, too bad the Decepticons weren’t Fords. Oh wait, they were.
It could have had a better story, but it more than made up for lack of story with arguably the best CGI to date. Too bad John Turturro wasn’t wearing his purple spandex embroidered in ‘Jesus’, he might have got more respect from that damn punk kid and his trashy “why do I always sleep with the football team” lady friend. He should have said “stay away from my lady friend”, that might have kept him out of handcuffs.
