Optimus Prime (the robot on the left in the picture), has always been my favourite super hero since I was a kid. And to see him back in the big screen is something I just couldn't sit aside and not witness it. The cast for the show did very well, and the robots were designed to perfection right down to the finest details. The thing about the show that really made it stood out from most shows, is how the robots looked so real and how it just sort of seem they were actually in the scene and not some computer graphic. For those who watched Spiderman, I am sure you could tell the difference between the computer graphic and the real person.
The only small thing I didn't quite like was Megatron's (the robot on the right in the picture) design. Well, I wouldn't go as far as to say I didn't like it, but just that they didn't quite capture the essence of Megatron as the big gun which he used to be. But 10/10 points for design, after all his design does fit the more sophisticated era we live in today!
From the design, then comes the transformation. The scene when I saw the transformation, I went "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!". The amount of details on the transformation was virtually flawless. For transformation graphics work - 10/10.
Then comes my super hero - Optimus Prime! Because of his character since his times in the cartoons, I have always loved him. A true leader who cares for his teammates, and a character willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. Only this time, he didn't die like in the previous cartoon movie (I am really glad).
Fight scenes were first class, no dodgy kung fu moves like some ridiculous shows. The moves were very smooth but robot-like. Simply fantastic!
Bottom line, it is by far THE best movie I have seen so far in my life and I intend to go see it again, and then go get the DVD for it. :)
