Hi everyone,
We will be showing 'Transformers' on Tuesday 3rd March:
"As sci-fi action blockbusters go, they dont come much bigger than
Transformers. Maybe its because of the subject matter: its based on a
toy line from the 1980s, concerning giant robots from outer space
engaged in a civil war that pits the heroic Autobots against the evil
Decepticons. They have the ability to disguise themselves as vehicles
and other mechanical objects, transforming back into robots when its
time to stomp each other senseless. As a premise, its rather silly.
But its also very simple, and thats why it works.
The heroes are truly heroic: the noble and powerful Autobot leader
Optimus Prime is one of the most iconic characters of the 1980s, and
getting the original voice actor (Peter Cullen) to give him life was a
stroke of genius. The villains, meanwhile, are just plain evil:
Decepticon leader Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving) is motivated by
absolute power, and his soldiers are not above a bit of wanton
destruction to achieve their goals. Mix in a bit of mysticism in the
form of the Allspark, the source of life for all Transformers, and the
result is pure cinematic magic." (Amazon)
And, should you be interested, 'Transformers 2' is scheduled for cinema
release on Friday 26th June.
