Come 28th June 2007, this highly anticipated live action/CGI adaptation of the cartoon series Transformers from the 80's will make its opening on local cinema screens.
Being a fan of the cartoon series (Well I'm an 80's baby after all) this is really one of those movies I've been anticipating for a very long time. Thrill me or disappoint me, come 28th we'll see. The Transformers brings back so many childhood memories, namely crying non-stop for a couple of days after witnessing the death of Optimus Prime in the original movie. I can still remember how my mom couldn't understand how some cartoon with robots made me cry. Come on guys, don't tell me the sight of Prime turning all charcoal black and then his head lifelessly falling to one side didn't touch you. It was like watching my greatest hero die. Yes that very same hero you thought invincible and could never perish. Try telling a 6/7 year old its only a cartoon.
And the toys... Don't even get me started on them. Everybody wanted Transformers toys. And back then, yes even back then they weren't cheap. I don't remember having even one. Oh well. Prime to moon base 1 : "Reserve me 2 tickets for 28th June @ GCS 1 Utama. Thank you. Autobots, transform and roll out!"
