I was with Noy Noy and April last night. We decided to catch some testosterone-filled flick after an erratic week at work. What else can bring out all the testosterone in you than gigantic robots fighting each other and some really hot chick that can make you drool right there and then? Yes Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen it is!
Amidst the heightened gastronomic delight that I was on with my favorite apple-raisin-cinnamon strudel (some people prefer popcorn and chips I or should I say we on the other hand beg to differ!), we noticed something odd about the movie...and here's our conversation:
Me: Are we in a wrong room? Cuz I feel like we're watching Apocalypto (this is at the prologue of the movie where ancient people...oh I hate that word!...were running in their painted bodies as they were clasping some spears as if they're going to a pre-civilization war or something).
But as soon as Her Royal Hotness lit up the screen, I was relieved. Yes this is indeed Transformers. I felt like my dormant other X chromosome was just awakened by the sight of her. Whew!
Noy: Is that party within the campus? Of course, It's a movie!....what are you doing? Megan Fox is waiting (for their online date)! You just made her cry. I'll kill you (men...men..men).
Prior to that...
Me: Ah! The Law of Conservation of Energy. Is it Newton's? I think not. Sounds like Einstein's Relativity Theory.
April: Hahaha! Physics? Miss Sulleza will be proud of you.
Me: (on the scene where they have aircraft carriers all over the screen where some freaky-looking robots plunged into the ocean to check on Megatron). Look there's Davy Jones! Is this Pirates of the Caribbean? Where's Jack Sparrow?!
Noy: They should have thrown him (Megatron) down near the Philippines. It's the second deepest right? (Is he referring to the Philippine Deep? I don't get him sometimes but who cares? It's nice to know that there are some breathing A people around).
Later....
April: Now this is something like National Treasure. They're going around looking for signs.
Me: Or Angels and Demons!
Noy: Haven't seen the phones they're using in the movie yet.
April: It's because they transform!
Me: This is now The Mummy (the scene in Egypt).
Before that....
April: Where the hell they get those bandages? (wrapped on Sam's right hand).
Me: They teleported with a first aid kit!
April: Now they do have flashlights. Each one of them.
Me: They brought that one too!
Near the conclusion of the movie....
Me: Have you seen her nails? It's awful!
April: (after a few seconds when Megan flashed her Frenched-tipped nails which fortunately survived the mechanical holocaust) Yes you're right!
Noy: How did you managed to see that?! (looks puzzled)
The credits are now showing on screen.
Me: I told ya it's Michael Bay.
Noy: And they also have George Lucas?! (as a producer)
Me: It's not cheap to make all those cars and jets transform you gotta have $$$$...lots of 'em!
The Verdict:
The movie was like a collage of all the movies I've seen. It's like an expensive Scary Movie. It's a movie consists of several movies where there are more robots than humans. So this is what happens when machines dominate the world...pretty scary! Glad Megan was there to keep us all entertained. She did a great job...just some minor flaws with the nails though.
