Review: Transformers

 "My rating: 7/10 I've never watched an episode of Transformers before, but I believe this film comes close enough to creating a world where real-life robots threaten the human race. Michael Bay never fails to create good atmospheres for action and thrills, but Transformers still suffered from some problems. These problems were big enough to detract from the whole picture. First, the action. It was top notch, but not perfect. The special effects were probably the best and most advanced I've seen yet. The human military presence was awesome. Watching the U.S. military, with it's most advanced technology, get served by a couple alien robots, really gives a nod to the power of the alien force. But, the action was just too much. I've been noticing a trend with new movies lately that the action in these types of movies continues to get faster. It's now getting more difficult for the human eye to follow what's happening. At times I had trouble following the action, or even reco ... " [More]

"Hah, very entertaining. Hollywood screenwriters should really take this technique into account when writing comedy films. [quote user="SkyPilot"] Morgan Freeman Narrates from Shawshank Sanitorium... ...sounding more like old Wilbur Cobb from Ren & Stimpy RED: In 1966, Dick Buist escaped from Shawshank prison. All they found of him was a muddy set of lobster wrangler clothes, nail polish, and an old sphygmometer, damn near worn down to the nub. I used to think it would take seven human years to tunnel under the wall with it. Old Dick did it in less than twenty. Oh, Dick loved the rise and fall of late antiquity, I guess it appealed to his meticulous nature . . . The rise and fall of late antiquity is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big god-damned purple people eater. Like I said, in prison a man will do anything to keep his mind occupied. It turns out Dick's favourite hobby was galavantin' his wall through the air l ... " [More]

Re:"Movie" in 2525
By gambrel83 in Movie Games
"[quote user="SkyPilot"] [quote user="jbooza"] See, my thing is that 2525 is sooo far off . . . In the 1500s, invention included the flush toilet, the pocket watch, the thermometer, and bottled beer (praise the Lord!). They could not even fathom the inventions that we have now. Referencing Demolition Man like the OP, I think things will be more "direct to the brain sensation" like the film. Movies may actually be experiences beamed to your brain that you actually experience yourself in a matter of seconds and can relive the memories for a lifetime. [/quote] This sounds plausible enough, and I find it very frightening. It could be a great backdrop for a sci-fi story: in the future, stories are replaced with something closer to drugs. I think we'd all agree that the art of storytelling travels in vastly different vehicles, not limited to rhymed verse, written reports, or a series of images, etc. . . . but I wonder what would happen to storytelling and the human brain if the average ...
