Review: Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon



Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon is one of the most awaited movies this year. Being big transformers buff, my hubby and I wouldn't miss it for the world! We were lucky to be able to watch it the other day! IN 3D! I know most of you out there have probably watched 3D movies so many times before. It was the first time for me and hubby and it was quite an experience.

But more than the 3D factor, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon has a great story line. It's a story of deception, friendship, and survival. To those who haven't watched it, this is a spoiler. Sentinel whom Optimus Prime revived with the spark turned out to be a traitor. It seems that from the very start, Sentinel already made a deal with Megatron that someday they will bring back Cybertron and the two of them will rule. And the place they will use to recreate Cyberton in is Earth and will make the people as their slaves.

In order to spare Earth from the threat of destruction, the government sided with the Decepticons. Earth's government exiled the Autobots. But the space shuttle was shot down even before it even got out of the Earth's atmosphere. At this point, the question is, is there still hope for earth? Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf)  thinks so and even if there wasn't he was determined to save his new girlfriend Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) who was held captive by a Decepticon supporter Dylan (Patrick Dempsey a.k.a McDreamy in Grey's Anatomy).

So, off they went in the heart of Chicago where Sentinel and the Decepticons are setting up the pillars that will recreate Cybertron. When Sam, Epps and a bunch of other guys were nearing Chicago they were ambushed by Decepticon bots. When they though it was the end but then rescue came! The Autobots were still alive. Together they came up with a strategy to destroy the pillars and Megatron and Sentinel's army. This part of the movie was the most violent of all. It's like the entire city of Chicago was destroyed.

The highlight of the last part was the fight between Optimus Prime and Sentinel and Megatron. In the fight, Optimus lost one of his arms but he tore both Megaton and Sentinel apart! Victory was still theirs!

Transformers 3: is an awesome movie! So, if you haven't watched Transformers 3, better make a schedule now!

Here's the official trailer to whet your appetite!
