More than meets the eye: Anticipating the release of the Transformers movie – Part 11

The Transformers is destined to be a killer blockbuster, packed with the characters many of us know and love from the cartoon series and original goofy animated film as well as the somewhat darker and more tragedy-filled comics the followed. The film has taken a non-nonsense approach that shows guts: jumping right into an all-out war involving the humans rather than beating around the bush like the comics did back in the day (when most robot conflicts went unnoticed by the people of Earth).

While there is doubtful to be much in the way of complex plot – as evidenced by the visually-gripping but duologue-lacking trailers – there is sure to be amazing action and special effects. As such, Steven Spielberg seems to be the best choice for the role of Executive Director. Spielberg is brilliant at turning standard blockbusters into epic and gripping thrillers. Between the creative live-action cinematography and classic iconography, this movie is sure to be a hit with fans of all kinds – from people like me who watched the series and owned the toys as a child, to anyone interested in seeing an action-packed summer movie!
