Movie: Transformers 2
Not so much a review, but just a few comments. First, I didn't go into this expected anything more than what it says on the can, and it was just what I was in the mood for. Plus, it's the kind of movie my kids like. It was ridiculous, but a lot of fun too.
One part of seeing it was curiosity of the SR-71 as they had used the one on static display on base here for photography. And I must say, they did a really good job, both with the plane and with how it transformed...plus it was voiced by Mark Ryan (who plays Nasir *g*)...so win all round. And Tyrese Gibson was also in it and kicking arse, so the muses very happy.
There was some military fail, like wrong aircraft being identified, but the one that amused me most was that Tyrese is possibly the youngest Chief Master Sgt ever, and the fact that he seems to have made rank ever so quickly, having been just a Tech Sgt two years ago. That's a jump of three ranks!
But I was more amused by the spectacular geography fail, throughout the entire movie. One moment they're in Virginia, smash through a wall and they're suddenly in the Arizona desert. (Davis-Monthan AFB, to be precise). The girlfriend seemed to travel from west coast to east coast in a matter of minutes. And biggest of all, since when have the Pyramids at Giza, Luxor, AND Petra (in Jordan) been within spitting distance of each other! LOL! Not to mention, near the coast.
