Ny Name is Optimus Prime!

Today I got to watch my all-time favorite robots -  The Transformers. On the big screen. For a  hundred and sixty pesos. At 12:01 in the morning.

W-o-w. Two and a half hours of non-stop action and I still can't get enough 'em! The movie just blew me away! Suffice it to say Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg did a great job. The film surpassed all my expectations. I'm not gonna give any spoilers, except for one. Watch out for the Mountain Dew Vending Machine. hehe.

I just wanna say that it was marvelous the way they were able to blend action and humor as seamlessly as possible. Two thumbs up!

As a kid of the 80's, I grew up with these characters. I watched them -these magnificent transforming robots - Optimus Prime and his noble Autobots - versus Megatron and his evil Decepticons. Everyday, on channel 9 I'd sit 2 feet away from the tv screen and watch them
fight it out for the fate of the universe (hence my myopic eye). They're awesome. They always were. Fictional characters like them have a special place in my heart. Fictional characters like them bring out the geek in me. Because for me, they symbolize every child's gift - the gift of imagination. These things keep me alive. And make me remember what it was like to be a kid.

Truly, as the wise Optimus would often say:

"There's more to us than meets the eye."

Autobots! Transform and roll out!!! 'Til All Are ONE!!! Whoohoooooo!!!
