More Then Meets The Eye

As part of a mini-vacation I took Thursday and Friday (July 5th and 6th) off to create an extra long weekend.

I’ve been saying for about 6 months now that when the Transformers movie hit the theaters that I’d be going. At first I was going to just take my son because I didn’t think my daughter would care to see it. Turns out she wanted to go too so the wife and I took them both on Thursday morning (a 9:30 showing—nice).

I went into this with pretty high expectations and I wasn’t disappointed. Typically I’m let down when I get this excited about a movie but not this time, this was a typical, blow everything up Michael Bay film. I think the team behind the transformations did an absolutely amazing job. There was only one scene in the entire film that I felt oozed “CGI” and I quickly dismissed it.

I personally feel this did my childhood favorite justice on the big screen. My daughter wanted us to go buy it on DVD, I had to explain to her (and my son) that it wasn’t on DVD yet and they were going to have to wait. I suspect it’ll be on DVD by the end of the summer, and you can bet we’ll be owning it the day it hits shelves.

This is definitely the summer blockbuster to run out and see. “We” give this one 4.5 stars.
