Transformers: Dark of The Moon

Dear Diary,

Anybody who watches Transformers movies is well aware that it’s fiction. Even so, their advanced technology never fails to capture my attention and win my admiration. Whenever they go, “Autobot transforms!”, all these ordinary vehicles cum robots seem alive with feelings like humans – sad, happy, angry, cheeky, etc. So damn believable!

With high hopes, we went to catch the latest Transformers sequel. It’s very frustrating when it doesn’t live up to our expectations. It doesn’t even fill the shoes of its two predecessors. My head kept thinking when this movie is going to be over. The third franchise is very dragging albeit full of stunts and actions.

Transformers: Dark of The Moon, directed by Michael Bay, still retains Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky) as its leading male actor. In the casts assemble accompanying Shia are Josh Duhamel (Lt. Colonel William Lennox), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Carly Miller) and Patrick Dempsey (Dylan Gould).

Still, there are scenes that I like, three scenes actually. The first scene is when they depict Chicago, the windy city, as war zone city (kawasan darurat). Swarmed with wreckage, damages and dead bodies everywhere, the catastrophic tragedy looks very real. Second is the life threatening scene involving Bumblebee. Last is the tumbling building with Sam, Carly and a handful of soldiers in it and the sequence of how they cheat death.
