BACKGROUND
02 July 2007
After a long night and a rather banal dream about some girls in my life, I am awakened by the warm sunshine, gentle. With a tired look out look out the window. A beautiful morning, but what time it is now well? I pule me the last sleep from my eyes, I just toss and turn around and look for the alarm clock. Clock 11:34. seemed to have slept well for a long time.
Comfortable as I am, I'll stay in bed, my dreams just Revue letting the day happen and plan ahead in my head.

Suddenly tears me the loud ringing of the phone out of my comfort. Who in God's name calls me so early in the morning (!!!)? After some hesitation, but then finally I torture myself out of bed, hoping it might be something important. I take off the phone:
"Mhmblmb ... hello?" I grumble visibly pissed into the phone. A cheerful female voice answered cheerfully: "Hello, this is Mrs. G. of Hasbro Germany!".
WHAT TO ......!!!!!!!!! From Hasbro I have heard since the press event any more, and that's almost half an eternity. What do the Transformers gods simply a humble guys like me? And above all, what does the beautiful, cheerful Mrs. G.? As one would think that it really can only mean something good.
And actually I will not be disappointed in my expectations! It turns out that in the course of conversation, are Phu and I were invited to a Transformers press presentation in Hamburg and as the only Transformers fans all over Germany. And you think about time: three weeks before the official start and Germany as the FIRST Transformers fans who are allowed to look at the film in Germany!
completely overwhelmed by the message, now decorated with a giant, perpetual grin my face and the more they told me, the greater the happiness rises in my chest. However, warns Ms G.
me near the end yet, the organizer of the event that they do not entirely trust the way, because, as she says, has been very cautious "uncooperative", what this may mean even more. Well, the incredible joy at the news but again so what can seem like a trifle. And sooner or would turn out then eh what is going on.
11th July 2007
has at last the wait is over! Finally I'll get the full benefit of Transformers and witness one of the greatest action show on celluloid are! And 10 clock in the morning is scheduled to take place the life-changing event.
are 4 clock in the morning and I lie awake on the bed. The great excitement of the previous day took my full sleep, but not severe fatigue or anything else I could take this great day, this wonderful moment. Every single second, every frame of the movie, I will suck like a drug!

early morning at 7:45 clock I torture took me out of bed to have enough time for the whole health action are: Cut teeth brushing, showers, nails, shave, iron works and of course wear. Hair sitting, no bad breath, smooth, clean skin and all in all I look pretty good. It will occur even maintained some degree there, if it already so will be a great event!
After some time I Stratz then out into the rain to meet at 9:45 clock in front of the small but beautiful Streit's cinema Phu. Once there, we walk the same without long hesitation towards cinema, to the best places to get hold of. Everywhere are scattered and the different types of people were sitting around (probably all journalists or any press people). Here are a few 60 year olds and a couple of 15 year olds. Very interesting if not totally irrelevant. After a short
Tramram it was finally over. The light of the many lights on the ceiling is insulated and silence returns to the room. With good timing, finally opened the curtains and the bright screen is in its full glory revealed.

Finally ...... Finally! I've never been so happy in my life. But the film would meet all the anticipation can or would drown myself in a sense the sheer disappointment of depression?
TRANSFORMERS REVIEW
Story
In a far, far away galaxy, far away from our known space, is a small, silvery shining planet called Cybertron, the quietly in the dark void of the universe hintreibt on. But Cyberrton is no ordinary celestial object, as we know it. He is a planet consisting only of metal, covered by huge cities and buildings that reach far into the sky over thousands of miles cover. Instead of steel, stone, instead of plant gears and instead of a blue sky, the deep blackness of the universe. The Cybertron inhabitants are far from our imagination. High technology, mechanoid life forms that are able to transform into any vehicle or form inhabiting the planet: the Transformers. But the fascination
Cybertron is clouded by varying degrees for millions of years-long war between the inhabitants of the planet. A war for control of all being. A war between good and evil. Between the peace-loving Autobots and the evil Decepticons.
In the blazing sea of fire protect countless battles, the Autobots, under the leadership of the heroic Optimus Prime, the key of all life on Cybertron from the power-hungry hands of the Decepticons: The Allspark. Once this mysterious object breathed life into the cold body one of the Transformers, but Megatron, tyrannical leader of the Decepticons and Optimus Prime's nemesis, provides for a weapon in the Allspark. With their help he could become ruler of Cybertron and even the whole galaxy.
But one day, in fierce battle to Tyger Pax, the capital of Cybertron, the Allspark into space and disappears in the eternal nothingness. His goal never losing sight of the flies, Megatron after the Allspark, but never comes back to Cybertron.
Some time passed and Cybertron's just a wasteland littered with scars. Without the Allspark, the planet would slowly but surely perish. So make Optimus Prime and a small group of Autobots in search of the Allspark, the last hope of their home world.
The earth in the present. It is a very special day for the young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), because today he would finally get his first car. After briefly thinking he would now call a beautiful yellow '74 Camaro his own. And clever as he is, trying he give his new vehicle wiring with the same high school his flock Mikaela (Megan Fox). But little he knows about the origin of his own cars. For behind the facade of the simple fact Camaros hides the Transformer Bumblebee, an Autobot scout, who is in the earth, to search for the Allspark. For as few know, has landed hundreds of years ago the Allspark and Megatron on Earth, and also lost in the eternal ice of Antarctica.
without And it also only be guessed at, Sam holds the key to the Allspark already in the hands.
As if this was not tricky enough, there has been some time also a group of Decepticons among the people who are also the Search for the Allspark, as well as her missing leader Megatron are.
The battle for the fate of Cybertron and Earth has begun. But it is the Autobots manage to find the Allspark before the Decepticons? And Megatron will stop at all yet?
criticism
Who has not? Made famous in all worlds and countries "Transformers", famous for its low budget cartoon series in the 80s and especially for their countless toys. At that time, and today draws the concept of sleek cars, airplanes and other vehicles that can turn into massive robot, many people, whether young or old, in the spell. Whether in advertising (Citroen), on the street or in the Toy Shop, Transformers are everywhere.
why was it only a matter of time before the robot is already 23 years old now over 150 million dollar summer blockbuster in the cinemas and draw all the attention. And rightly so. For the rotated by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg-produced film can capture with its rich 2 1 / 2 hours full of action, humor and visual treat the heart of every Transformers fans as well as all other viewers by storm. And despite all the extreme changes in design and co.
Many fans and critics feared however, that there shall not want the film very much of a good story. But surprisingly, it is not nearly as bad as expected. The story of a boy getting his first car, and thus lived through the phase of growing up and the simple principle like the eternal war between good and evil be very flat, but through the Transformers concept and many parallel storylines (six ) so refreshed and complex designs that never really comes up the feeling one would watch a movie with a stupid story. There are also nice flashbacks, secret organization and co. into play and already is part of the story much attractive. Unfortunately, despite the amount to be
of storylines and the length of the film many explanations simply left out or even completely forgotten. So you will never know as the Transformers to Earth have found what happens for various characters during the movie and why they shot the Allspark into space at that time. Only if you read the prequel to the film belonging prequel novels and comics, it is resolved. Otherwise, there is only loose, meaningless explanations of Optimus Prime. Too bad.
But the story, only playing second fiddle.
Because the action and the CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) are definitely in the forefront of the film, and are therefore also often used as an advertising medium. Naturally, since about 60-70% of the film consists of them and can be provided so that most likely interest. Fortunately, the film disappointed and Industrial Light and Magic (abbreviated ILM) the audience in terms of action and CGI in any way. For the stunning fist fights the robot in perilous heights, the gigantic explosions, and the clanking sound of metal shattered like to know in the first minute to like very much. It's just incredible when one robot in slow motion with his two guns from the ground into the air and shoot down hovering over the heads of people or if another bot is separated in a pirouetteähnlichem jump someone's arm. was not even in the whole history of cinema to see even anything like it.
But all good Robo-action probably would be worth nothing if the CGI was not convincing. The film lay in the hands of ILM, the largest and best-known visual-effects company in the world, just right. Almost photo-realistic and completely believable, the robot giants stomp across the screen and no matter how hard you also have to look in the bots only fictional CGI characters, so they always appear very real, since even, the 300 million dollar spider Man 3 movie does not keep up.
The only thing that has really disappointed me a little was the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Far too short and too unspectacular. The fight of the millennium and it is too short. Not to mention that it's never really been a slugfest, and has also found the whole arsenal of weapons rarely used. Very disappointing ...
Really nice to look at is the fact that the bots are not only rendered fighting machines with no brain and mind, but real character deep characters who go, like in the cartoon, with much wit and reason (more or less) to the cause. For example, has Ironhide (Autobot veteran) is always the urge with its booming wreck everything and everyone, jazz is a stylish robot who likes Optimus Prime plotting times thick and is the wise and courageous hero, whom all love.
Amazingly, however, that Optimus Prime in contrast to the cartoon series or the comics, sometimes extremely aggressive, impatient and bad-tempered acts. This is anything but bad, because at last is no longer the Prime-indestructible-super strong infallible father figure that has little character, but is now very much more human, more emotional than before. shine
But while the Autobots in terms of character, disappointing the Decepticons across the board. Most cons are pure cannon fodder and serve only the action scenes to develop without much depth. Even Starscream, the fan favorite schlechthin, der normalerweise ein arroganter Verräter ist und für lauter Intrigen unter den Decepticons sorgt, darf sich lediglich eines lächerlichen Satzes würdigen. Man überlege mal: EIN EINZIGER SATZ in 2 1/2 Stunden (und einmal noch etwas auf Cybertronisch)! Das sollte aber wohl nur die Fans unter den Zuschauern stören.
Megatron und Frenzy konnten zum Glück die ganze Sache noch retten. Denn selten hat man einen derart coolen, bösen und mächtigen Bösewicht gesehen wie Megatron. Viel Charakter, absolut geniale Synchro von Hugo Weaving und einfach nur abgrundtief böse. Klasse! Und Frenzy war einfach nur krank xD
Sehr positiv zu bewerten wären dann noch die schauspielerischen Fähigkeiten Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and co. With wit and composure has approached the matter, what did the movie just fine. Because there is not a position at the it could be argued that the actors did a bad job. Each award is seated, every facial expression is good and even when standing would have the actors, can mainly Shia LaBeouf, watch out of sheer enthusiasm. And Megan Fox was able to convince not only with her acting talent;)
Even my personal hatred actor Anthony Anderson was able to here and there herzallerliebst laugh.
And Peter Cullen, Optimus Prime himself was only just godlike. It would have been a shame, would be he is not present in the film.
one and only John Turturro, who plays Agent Simmons in the movie sucks, terribly. Not funny, silly and just plain stupid. But that is probably had more of the less than serious character who embodies Turturro.
terrible missteps that allowed the film, however, there were, on average, in the countless many Goofs and also in places very typical Michael Bay soundtrack. Especially the last point was in part their hair blow out, because all the songs that were played during the scenes with the military, almost 100% with those of Armageddon identical. The heroic sound of violins, Drums and other Orchesterkram. Disturbing but not otherwise, unless one sets out further value. Also product placement in
things you have not really saved. Burger King, eBay, Hasbro, Apple, Porsche, Mountain Dew, and especially General Motors took their place in Transformers (and not too tight). And they were now really only a few of the PPs. But not bad if you paid no further attention.
CONCLUSION
Transformers is a great action spectacle, with incredibly sophisticated visual effects, great actors, great though unpretentious humor and a breathtaking look. Small shortcomings as Goofs, cut and co are quickly forgotten in the big Effektgemetzel.
solely the lack of explanations, the shocking unprincipled Decepticons and the disappointing fight between Megs and Prime may be regarded as a major criticisms.
is otherwise a perfectly good blockbuster Transformers movie that offers a lot of Fanservice and where the money is well spent. Is well worth watching!
4 points of 5!
At this point I would like to again thank Sabine Gebauer much for everything and that she has me and Phu possible at all to be able to experience this spectacle! Thank you! It was a really great day! =) * Cuddle *
