deep something

deep something deep something sometimes i wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it. ~~mark twain about my place to rant, rave and pontificate about whatever is on my mind at the moment. i hope it encourages thought and action on your part. transformers october 31st, 2007 by john high-school student sam witwicky buys his first car, who is actually the autobot bumblebee. bumblebee defends sam and his girlfriend mikaela banes from the decepticon barricade, before the other autobots arrive on earth. they are searching for the allspark, and the war on earth heats up as the decepticons attack a united states military base in qatar. sam and mikaela are taken by the top-secret agency sector 7 to help stop the decepticons, but when they learn the agency also intends to destroy the autobots, they formulate their own plan to save the world. director: michael bay genre: action, adventure, sci-fi, thriller cast: shia labeouf, megan fox, josh duhamel, tyrese gibson, rachael taylor, anthony anderson, jon voight, john turturro, michael o’neill, kevin dunn, peter cullen, julie white, amaury nolasco, mark ryan, zack ward despite the advancements in today’s special effects, it being inspired from the highly popular 1980’s hasbro toys and cartoon, with steven spielberg overseeing the production as an executive producer, michael bay and his writers were still guilty of making this a disappointment of a movie. the story was about a teenager name sam (shia labeouf) who purchases a car that happens to be a robot in disguise from another world. sam is then caught in the middle of an ancient battle between two groups of these alien robots, the heroic autobots and the evil decepticons. both are seeking a mysterious cube known as the “allspark” that contains their “life source.” this central plot intertwines with the story of a special ops team being attacked by one of the decepticons in the beginning, the pentagon enlisting teams of computer hackers to decode a signal they detected that ultimately came from the decepticons and a hokey love story between sam and mikaela, the gorgeous bombshell in his class. as intriguing as all of this may sound, besides the many battle scenes, car chases, attempts on sam’s life and decepticon attacks, nothing happens to move the story along. whatever layers of stories that were suppose to be happening beneath the unimpressive action sequences were uneventful and slow. so, all you’re left with is the action, which by the end was boring and tedious to watch. i was really wanting to see this movie, and i never watched the cartoon, so i came with no baggage…but it just didn’t make the grade for me.
