Hello there! This is the start of my blogging for school "thingy", so I'm going to start with something simple, a movie review! For more of the school journal posts find it under the label

Of course, I watched the final installment of Harry Potter before but because of the overwhelming "
popularity" it has, I won't do a review. Today's review:
During last Sunday, I went to Grand City to watch Transformers, we got decent seats thanks to my father's workers. Kenny actually offered me to watch Harry Potter again for free, but I had to decline since I'm not fond of movie marathons (I never have one actually). Me and my family went and watched it in 2-D, I'd heard some reviews over how cool the 3-D usage of the movie, but we save money to buy snacks :)
The movie tells the story of a secret hidden on the moon, of course it had connection with the autobots, the secret is a spaceship called the ARK which I presumed to used by the alien robots to escape. There is this new autobot called Sentinel Prime who used to be a leader of the autobots. Sentinel Prime invented things useful for the autobots one of them was a teleporting device (which plays a bigger part near the end of the movie).
Sentinel Prime betrayed his race because he had made a deal with the decepticons so that cybertron can survive. He used the teleportation device to bring the whole cybertron to earth (which me and my sister find very absurd). So, that's all basically.
The plot was mainly that. I find the special FX very appealing but the story was meh. Also the new girl was more of a damsel in distress rather than what Megan Fox did in the previous movie. I enjoyed the comedy of the movie, but I kept yawning at the final battle because I think it was too long.
End Spoilers
So, here is what the critics think:
Rotten Tomatoes: 36 %
Its special effects -- and 3D shots -- are undeniably impressive, but they aren't enough to fill up its loud, bloated running time, or mask its thin, indifferent script
Roger Ebert (one of my favorite movie critics): One star
a visually ugly film with an incoherent plot, wooden characters and inane dialog. It provided me with one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies.
For me it's a 1.5/5 stars, just because of the awesome FX and comedy :)
Thanks for reading! BYE!
