A new life, a new beginning

Hi,
I am back after a week to blog about our movie outing last Fri to watch Transformers!!!

The movie at 1905hrs and tickets were already booked at 8 dollars beforehand thanks to safra ;) So after work, we figured the shortest route would be to go by NEL from Potong Pasir to Dhoby Ghaut. When we reached Plaza Singapura, we still had roughly an hour to spend, so we went to have dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. It was my first time there. Although the Manhattan fish and chips was cheaper than Fish & Co's, some of us, including me, felt that the dish at F & C would have been relatively better. Well I wouldn't know about the rest of the dishes, so I would probably go back some other time to try the other dishes but that would surely burn a hole in my pocket ):

So after the meal, the timing was just right. We entered the cinema, found our seats and waited. As usual movie previews and advertisements lasted as long as 15 mins. Well the starting scene of the movie was enough to take one's breathe away. Watching how Blackout (I will introduce the characters later) take out the whole US base was seriously damn exciting. Overall I would say the movie was very very exciting. The graphics and motions were very well done. Shia LaBeouf (Sam Witwicky) acted pretty well and Megan Fox (Mikaela) was so hot! As the plot developed, it was spiced up with comedic scenes that left us laughing at one point of time while glued to the screen at another as the final battle unravelled. I really enjoyed the movie although some battle scenes were pretty confusing.

There were changes to the original Transformers. Bumblebee is a Chevrolet Camaro, not a Volkswagen Beetle, Megatron is a Cybertron jet, no longer a Walther P38 rifle. Had he been a rifle, he would be very very lousy I guess. Robots use missiles and rockets to battle (Matrix and kungfu moves included) instead of lasers and force fields. Well, at least they used the name Witwicky which was the main human character in Transformers G1 series. Optimus Prime was voiced by the same person in the cartoon series too.

Now time to introduce the Transformers!!!
