have you seen transformers 2?

transformers - from wikipedia.com ransformers is a 2007 live-action film adaptation of the Transformers franchise, directed by Michael Bay and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery. The Decepticons desire control of the All Spark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Anthony Anderson and John Turturro also star, while Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving provide the voices of Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively. Producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto developed the project in 2003, with a treatment written by DeSanto. Executive producer Steven Spielberg came on board the following year, and hired Orci, Kurtzman and Bay for the project in 2005. The filmmakers wanted a realistic depiction of the story, and created a complex design aesthetic for the robots to stress their alien nature. The computer-generated characters were programmed to have thousands of mechanical pieces move as they transformed and maneuvered. The United States Military and General Motors lent vehicles and aircraft during filming, which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes. Hasbro organized an enormous promotional campaign for the film, making deals with hundreds of companies. This advertising blitz included a viral marketing campaign, coordinated releases of prequel comic books, toys and books, as well as product placement deals with GM and eBay. The film was a box office success despite mixed fan reaction to the radical redesigns of the characters, and reviews criticizing the focus on the humans at the expense of the robots. It is the thirtieth most successful film released and the fifth most successful of 2007, grossing approximately US$708 million worldwide. The film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards. It revitalized media interest in the franchise, and a sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was released on June 24, 2009.

Just saw Transformers yesterday, it's sort of political as well but in a more raw sense because it's about the use and abuse of power. Everyone seeks power either to use it for the benefit of the majority or for one's own gain. It also showcased how a war sparked from the most noble endeavor. In this case, the search for a source of power lead to the choice of whether to sacrifice a whole race over its generation or to opt to let them be. This was especially true during the colonization period and up until present. But to look at it in a more general sense, we can see how branches of government interact and contradict each other. Each from a different viewpoint with different strategies even with only one goal. I can go on and on but I suggest you watch the movie as well

that would be a really, really good movie based from the story. i wasn't able to catch it this weekend. would you believe that in all 4 cinemas in the mall here 3 are showing transformers? my husband and i were at the mall this monday and i told him that we won't be able to catch it anymore. he said, with 3 out of 4 cinemas showing it it is a sign that transformers would be shown for more than 2 weeks. based from experience, he's right. we'd be off with our 3 year old to the cinema this weekend .

I am looking forward to watch the movie tomorrow. I have no work and my husband and child will be going to the movies to watch it. A friend of mine told me that it is a very nice movie. I have enjoyed the first one, and most likely I will be enjoying this sequel.
