I went to cinema yesterday and watched Transformers: The Dark of the Moon 3D version. I already watched its previous movie, Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen yet it was not in 3D version. Ah, no need to discuss more about 3D or not since I won't talk about it later.
After watching Transformers 3 yesterday, I just realized that the current issue about women, feminism is also involved in this story board. Nowadays, we could see many women issue throughout the world. And apparently, Michael Bay, the director won't miss out the issue that he with Ehren Kruger-the writer made this story line.
It all started from the moon. After the war in Cybertron, there was a spaceship which crashed and hit the moon. It contains the hundreds pillars that could make a portal to transport Cybertronian to any planet to rebuild their home. There was also an autobot, Sentinel Prime, the leader at that time. He was the one and only who could take control pillars in making the portal. He was in a sleep mode buried in the ship. Heard about that thing, Optimus Prime endorsed to re-energize Sentinel and ask him to live in earth with humans. It's a shame that Sentinel betrayed Optimus since he had a deal with Megatron to rebuild Cybertron, rebuild his home on earth.
Megatron had already made deal with human, Dylan, to assist him succeeding the plan, and he will be a human leader in return. In this case, Dylan is the boss of Carly, Sam's girlfriend. He, in collaboration with Decepticons were trying to erase the track by killing several people related, who witnessed the process of Lunar mission. Sam Witwicky was haunted as well. He has a connection to autobots and he was the messenger of any danger from Decepticons, may happen to human race.
This movie, I know that it's a fiction, told us about the untold story of American Lunar mission with Apollo 11, in which the astronaut found some strange track paths about Cybertron spaceship. It's cool when a real Buzz Aldrin also joined in the movie making.
All the autobots, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Silverbolt, Ratchet, Sideswipe, The Wreckers, are willing to protect earth, as they feel like home here. However, due to a wrong decision made by Optimus, the Director of National Intelligent, Charlotte Mearing sent them outta space. Luckily, the autobots were too genius to be kicked out, they have already known Megatron's strategy. Shame, Ironehide became one of the victim in this battle with Sentinel.
From this movie, i could take several things:
- Faith and betrayed: those two things were so contradictory. Once you chose to betray someone, it's hard for the victim to trust on you again. Faith is a precious and priceless, that is hard to keep. Once one's treated by another grant or reward, he might probably put his faith behind.
- Brain vs machines: this movie was sooo sophisticated, with all those effects, sounds and lighting, this was just amazing. Moreover, I watched the 3D version, that somehow made me feel like being involved in this movie. This movie, however, showed the collaboration of human and machines to save the world. It leads me to the fact that nowadays, most people are depended to the technology, and most are too lazy and coward in making decision. People shouldn't be possessed by technology as it's people creation. Keep using brain in most activity, and support it with technology.
- Women's issue: I saw two female characters who have big role in the movie. The first is Carly Spencer, Sam's girlfriend, the other is Charlotte Mearing. Carly is played by Rosie huntington-Whiteley, replacing Megan Fox in the previous movie. Her acting, IMHO, was not bad, yet it's far less than Megan Fox. It differs from the previous movie that Mikaela has dominated the movie, yet in here, Carly was still being introduced by the whole sophisticated robot technology. Nevertheless, Carly became a hero in the end of the movie, she was trying to provoke and persuade Megatron to fight against Sentinel while he had a battle with Optimus. Thus, Optimus won the battle and he defeated Megatron as well. I believe that Michael Bay would like to show the power of woman's words. Then, watch out guys... ^,^
- Another female character in this movie was Charlotte Spencer, the director of National Intelligent of America. Even though she was a great woman, had a lot of nobels, she is a woman still. In this case, Charlotte was making a wrong decision in sending autobots outta space. She only thinks from one point of view, without realizing the impacts on others. This is a common thing happen to a woman. Her feeling and desire weigh more than her logic. I do admit it happens to me once in a time.
All in all, this is a great sci-fiction movie, with all of those sound, image and lightening effects. For children, it's quite appropriate though there are some parental-guide-scenes. There are some fairy illogical things, yet take it as amusement for watching a sci-fiction movie. Enjoy it.. ^,^
