More Than Meets the Eye

When I was a kid, I used to have Bumblebee, Laserbeak, and Sideswipe (my first ever Autobot!). I remember when you rub the original sticker, it changes color. My dad didn't buy me any Optimus Prime but I remember getting a fake Megatron. After seeing the new released versions of our shape-shifting metal friends, I still prefer the 1st Gen models, especially Bumblebee!

Even though Lizette has already seen the film back home, she still went with us. All 8 of us trouped down the Regal Theaters in Sterling around 9.

When we got there, I was informed that the 9:50 screening time ain't available anymore so we had to wait for the next one (10:20 pm). While waiting for our movie, we took some photos with the Simpsons, Silver Surfer, and Transformers.

The action-packed movie is filled with witty one-liners. The audience here reacted by laughing out loud or clapping. When the parents of Sam were asking him some questions, it reminded me of "American Pie".

I thought the reason why Bumblebee wasn't speaking in the movie is that Michael Bay couldn't find a voice talent for him. It's funny that the Transformers learned the language from the World Wide Web. I was waiting for one of them to say, "OMG!" or "LOL".

I wonder why Bumblebee couldn't transfer to a "healthier" car after he got injured? A Decepticon once did it when it transfered to the cellphone after being cut into pieces by Mikaela (Megan Fox).

Mmmm... Megan Fox was thrown in for the male viewers. She's very easy on the eyes, I must say. Josh Duhamel was the eye candy for the ladies.

It's fun to see familiar faces in the movie like, Fernando Sucre of "Prison Break" (Amaury Nolasco) and Aaron Pierce of "24" (Glenn Morshower).

How did Sam know that Megatron also has a hole in his chest too? After hearing Optimus' dialogue of sacrificing himself, I suddenly remembered Aslan of "The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe".

My favorite scene was when the Autobots were hiding from Sam's parents and you could see that Bumblebee was crawling like a baby.

At the end of the film, they showed the parents of Sam being interviewed. It was nice but it would've been more fun if they showed bloopers of the transformers themselves, like what they did in "Antz" =oP
