The Cool Weapons

So went out to check out Transformers 3 in IMAX 3D.  May I start in saying that Cinemark 17 & IMAX in North Dallas, TX is very boo now?  It is too cramped and hot.  I am done with that location.  The staff is none to nice either.  I am ready to try AMC's IMAX screens.  Also, wanting to check out Colleyville Cinema + Grille.

Ok.  Back on track.  Transformers: Dark of the Moon was very well done.  It was a bit too long, but the action and storyline was great.  It was cool to hear Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek) as Sentinal Prime (A Transformer I never heard of until yesterday).  They also broaden their cast some including all-stars like John Malkovich (Red), Ken Jeong (The Hangover - he's still doing gangsta boy), Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) and Frances McDormand (Fargo).  Nice work Bay and Spielberg.

As for the Transformers themselves, the debut of Laserbeak was awesome.  Didn't know he was a chameleon, but was very effective as an assassin.  Also the debut of Shockwave and his "little" pet was pretty awesome (As Lennox points out, "Why do they have the cool weapons?").  Kind of wish Ravage would have came back.  :-(

Even though Hugo Weaving did a great job as Megatron, I really wish Frank Welker (the original voice) would have kept doing it.  Oh well, Welker was busy enough voicing both Soundwave and Shockwave.  Also, why could they use the autotune voice for Soundwave?  That was one of the best parts of Transformers.

Overall the movie was great.  *SPOILER ALERT* Very sad to see 5 of the major Decepticons fall, but I guess the series has to end somehow.  Or did it?

Go check it out!  I give this an A.  Again, nice work Bay and Spielberg.
