Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is officially the hottest movie today! Grossing over $200 Million in the US box office on its first five days, it ranked second and very close to the all time highest first five-day earnings, the 2008 block buster Dark Knight which earned 203 Million. Amidst the criticism from movie reviews, the movie still made its way to the top. Indeed, director Michael Bay is the happiest man in the world at this moment.


I personally witnessed the incredible reception to this movie. Last weekend, Saturday (June 29, 2 009), I decided to watch the movie in my hope that the movie goes had slowed down already since it was first shown a few days ago. To my surprise and annoyance, I have to line up to the ticket booth for almost an hour just to secure a lower seat because that’s all that was left. All four theaters are filled with people anticipating the display of advanced special effects and the action packed story that was first manifested in its prequel Transformers way back in 2007. Anyway, it’s worth the effort. Here is my assessment of the movie.

The Story

This movie do not thrive in its story, it thrives on special effects. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen has a very plain and simple story: someone failed in the past, then he amassed power through time and come back to claim his revenge. That’s it!


The Acting

Just like the story the acting was just “OK”. I guess it’s more accurate to say that the acting is just “enough”. Yes, the actors and the actresses did just what is needed. Anyway, movies of this kind do not need to have a display of extreme emotions. But I have to comment the robots for sharing in this aspect. Bumble Bee is quite good in crying! And also Optimus Prime.
The movie is also full of humor. You will laugh a lot of times when you watch this movie. I have to commend Sam’s mother for excellent good comedy acting.

Cinematography and Special Effects

The movie is all about the special effects! I go “wow” when I saw the first display of special effects. This movie is surely of high budget. I really like the way cars and aircraft transforms into robots. The epic battle in Egyptian pyramids was truly awe inspiring. You will find yourself caught in high packed action from the beginning to the end.
As a summary and conclusion, I have to say the movie did great. It fulfills the people’s expectations. I guess that’s the reason why it didn’t scored high on movie reviews but won the favor of numerous movie goers looking for a high quality action packed and advanced movie themes like this.
So if I will grade this movie in a scale of 1 to 10, I will give it a score of 8.

On June 24, that’s Wednesday next week, will be the premiere of one of my favori
te movies—Transformers. Back on the first movie, Transformers, we see breathtaking and non-stop action that nailed our attention from the beginning to the very end.Yes, that’s the mark of the movie by Michael Bay. Now on its sequel, I’m one of the millions of people around the globe with great expectations on how the movie will compare with the first. Will it take us to another level of awe? Or we’ll just leave the movie theaters regretting about the money we’ve spent? On Wednesday nextweek, all questions and doubts will finally be answered.

Glimpse on the Story
Sam Witwicky is back and he will discover something about the origin of the Transformers. He will be the target of the remaining Decepticons because of that information. Remember the raptor that escapes after the Decepticons were defeated on the first movie? Yes, he’ll be back and again playing the role of the bad guy. The epic battle will occur in Pyramids of Egypt. Furthermore, they will discover that the hieroglyphic symbols carved on the walls of ancient Egypt depicting helicopters and other present day vehicles were actually images of the Cybertonians who visited the earth. Watch out if the hearsay that Megatron will be back. We can remember how Megatron was destroyed together with the Allspark, but there are information that say, he’ll be repaired and be brought back to life. Watch the trailer below.

It’s quite obvious that I’m really excited! Watch out for my asses
sment and review of the movie next week after I've watched it!

If you want to release all the stresses and the pressures that you are feeling right now, Bantayan Island is the place you may be looking for.

Bantayan Island Location

Bantayan is a small island loacted on the northern tip of Cebu, Philippines. From the city, it can be reached, first by a two-hour bus travel to the port, then an hour of sea travel in a two-decked barge.

Bantayan Beach Resorts

Bantayan island is home to world class beach resorts. With fine grained white sand and crystal clear waters, you will truly enjoy their beaches. Added to the relaxation is the fact that the beaches are not crowded, so you can find time to for yourself to reflect. If you have your family with you, it's the perfect time to talk about things we usually forget due to the busy life on the city.

I have been to Bantayan Island last April and I'm very satisfied with my experience there.

Cost

No need to worry much about the cost, it's very cheap. With $100 (P5000) per person, you can have it all including the transportation from the city to the island.

We are working to live and not living to work, so take time top relax and leave all your worries behind. Bantayan island is waiting for you.
