TRANSFORMERS - review

Friend of mine managed to buy the movie ticket four days in advance, tickets at that time was already selling out fast! I am talking hot cakes here!! I got really good seats for the show, and in my opinion it was probably the best movie I have ever seen in my entire life.


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. :)

hiatus!

After having been online on the ~Path of Time~ since 2006..... it is going to be hard, painful and sad. As of today, I will officially stop writing on the ~Path of Time~. For those who have continued to read my posts, I thank you very much for taking timeout to read my posts. I am not sure if all my writings were great but I'll be happy to know even if it was only one post that reached your heart. I may one day pick up from where I left off here but only time will tell. Who knows I might even start afresh? Until next time.......... time stops ticking for the ~Path of Time~

one foot in the past, another in the future........ what about the present?

All of us go through a cycle, what we commonly call - the past, present and the future. It can probably be summed up by this simple phrase: " we come from the past to be in the present and look forward to the future ". Now, what I want you to do is take a step back, or just give your mind a minute or two to digest the above mentioned phrase. Ask yourself if it applies to you. Really ask yourself; and I mean REALLY ask yourself in the most honest of manner, whether it really applies to you. You may find it difficult to arrive at a 'yes' and even if you do, you probably find yourself in a paralysis state of mind trying to justify the 'yes'. If you really ponder about it, you are likely to find that most of us would find this phrase more relevant instead: " we come from the past and look forward to the future " You will find many of us either hang on to the past or look far too forward into the future, or likely for some to even be dwelling too much in ...

my first tow truck ride

It was like every other Saturday morning for me yesterday. Woke up early to get breakfast, get ready for my weekly rock climbing sessions. I felt pretty good yesterday since I managed to sleep the night before so I was feeling very energized and upbeat about my climb session. I might have spoke too soon though because my car decided to pull a fast one on me. I found it surprising because I always went on preventive maintenance for my car so I really wasn't expecting any breakdowns especially I didn't hear any sound symptoms, neither did I saw any signs of an impending breakdown. After all, it is only logical that mechanical parts would give out some form of symptoms to let you know it's about to go. I was actually driving myself to rock climbing, feeling all geared up and gung-ho about it. As I approached an uphill climb and right bend, I realised I was losing compression and the car was starting not respond to my pedal work on the accelerator. To make matters worse because...
