Movie Review 4: Transformers 3

Transformers 3: Dark of The Moon

I somewhat feel like
I've watched a whole lot of movies before
Maybe after this I should
talk about anime?
We'll see..

The show starts about how in 1961, the Ark,
a Cybertronian spacecraft
carrying an invention capable of ending
the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons,
crash lands on the far side of Earth's Moon.
The crash is detected on Earth by NASA,
and President John F. Kennedy authorizes
a mission to put a man on the Moon
as a cover for investigating the craft.
In 1969, the crew of Apollo 11
lands on the Moon.

In the present,
the Autobots assist the United States military
in preventing conflicts around the globe.
During a mission to Chernobyl,
to investigate suspected alien technology,
Optimus Prime – the valiant leader of the Autobots
– finds a fuel cell from the Ark,
discovering it had survived its journey from Cybertron.
The Autobots are attacked by Shockwave,
who manages to escape.
After learning of the top-secret mission to the Moon,
the Autobots travel there to explore the Ark.
They discover a comatose Sentinel Prime
– Optimus' predecessor as leader of the Autobots
– and the Pillars he created
as a means of establishing a Space Bridge
between two points to teleport matter.
After returning to Earth,
Optimus uses the energy of his
Matrix of Leadership
to revive Sentinel Prime.

Meanwhile, Sam Witwicky is frustrated
that he is unable to work
with the Autobots
and is failing to find a job.
He also becomes envious of the
close relationship between his new girlfriend,
Carly Spencer, and her boss Dylan Gould.
After finding work,
Sam is provided information
by his eccentric co-worker
Jerry Wang about the Ark,
before Jerry is assassinated
by the Decepticon Laserbeak.
Sam contacts the now-independently
wealthy Seymour Simmons,
and together they realize
that the Decepticons and their leader,
Megatron, are murdering people
connected to the American and Russian
space missions to the Ark.
They locate two surviving Russian cosmonauts,
who reveal satellite photos of hundreds
of Pillars being stockpiled on the Moon.
Sam realizes that the Decepticons
raided the Ark long before the Autobots'
mission and intentionally left Sentinel
and five Pillars behind to lure
the Autobots into a trap –
Sentinel being the key to activating the Pillars
and the Decepticons lacking
the means to revive him.
The Autobots rush to return Sentinel
to their base for protection
but Sentinel betrays them
and kills the Autobot Ironhide,
revealing he had made a deal with Megatron
to ensure the survival of the Cybertronian race.

Sentinel uses the Pillars to transport
hundreds of concealed Decepticons
from the Moon to Earth,
and Carly is captured by Gould,
who is revealed to be in the service of the Decepticons.
The Autobots are exiled from Earth
at the demand of the Decepticons to avoid war,
but as their ship leaves Earth it is destroyed
by Megatron's second-in-command,
Starscream, seemingly killing the Autobots.
The Decepticons, led by Megatron and Sentinel,
seize Chicago as their agents place
Pillars around the world.
Gould reveals to Carly that the Decepticons
plan to transport their homeworld
of Cybertron to the Milky Way,
then to enslave Humanity
and use Earth's resources
to rebuild their world.
Sam teams with Robert Epps
to go into Chicago to save Carly,
but they are nearly killed by Decepticon forces
before the Autobots intervene,
having concealed themselves
during the launch of their ship
to convince the Decepticons they were destroyed.

Working together, the Autobots and Human soldiers
manage to rescue Carly
and destroy Soundwave,
Barricade, Starscream, and Shockwave,
with Optimus using Shockwave's arm-cannon
to blast the Control Pillar,
disabling the Space Bridge.
Sam confronts Gould as he reactivates the Control Pillar.
After a brief fistfight,
Sam knocks Gould into the Pillar,
electrocuting him to death.
Bumblebee and Ratchet arrive
and destroy the Control Pillar,
permanently disabling the Bridge
and causing the partially transported
Cybertron to implode.
Optimus and Sentinel fight while Carly
convinces Megatron that he will be replaced
as leader of the Decepticons by Sentinel.
Sentinel severs Optimus' right arm,
and is about to execute him
when Megatron intervenes,
incapacitating Sentinel.
Megatron invokes Optimus for a truce,
having the desire to become
the one-in-charge again.
Optimus attacks Megatron,
knowing Megatron's true intentions,
decapitating and killing him.
Sentinel pleads for his life but Optimus
executes him for betraying his own principles.
With the Decepticons defeated,
Carly and Sam are reunited
and the Autobots accept that
with Cybertron gone,
Earth is now their home.

-----------------

There's a lot that I'd like to comment
about this movie.
I don't think I'm the only one
who thinks it this way.
From the beginning of the movie
to the very end of it,
none of the things that I see
I could accept and agree.

In Transformers 2
they already portray that
the Decepticons has been on planet Earth
since ancient history.
Now, they are trying to use Apollo 11
to say that The Ark arrived on
the Earth's moon during 1963.
It seems that movies with Apollo 11
or any spaceship from 1960's
is becoming really popular in movies
which is sickening.

Besides that the Matrix
again in Transformers 2
it was shown that the Matrix was
D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.E.D.
and how the hell can there be
another Matrix safely in
Optimus's chest thingie?
The conversation was too fast
too quick for anyone to understand.
I was finding it hard to understand
the whole thing.

Aside from that,
MEGATRON is being a pussy
in this movie =w=
Megatron...Lord Megatron
we're talking about Megatron here
where he fears no one
where he is known to be
the most powerful Decepticons
in the Universe and not
one bit did he shows any mercy
in other sources like comics and such.
HOWEVER HERE
Megatron surprisingly
listens to what a human has to say
about his position and status.
Normally he would sadistically kill
any human in sight.

AND ABOUT THE MOTHER SHIP!
Oh how I could have forgotten the mother ship!
I bet none of you remembered
the FREAKING MOTHER SHIP
didn't you?
because none of the characters
were paying attention
towards the mother ship!
No one even glanced at it!
What did they do?
They just kept on running and running
shot here and shot there.
Then ooh~ Megatron is dead =w=
Human is victorious~ bla bla~
What happened to the mother ship?
Oh the little autobots took care of it
from the inside.

Lots of people suggested that
Transformers 3
should be parted into part 1 and part 2
like Harry Potter.
But no~ we all don't know
what Michael Bay is thinking.
Maybe he's getting bored with the movie?

Transformers 1 was the best
Transformers 2 was 50/50
and a lot of people
are expecting Transformers 3 to rise back
But no~ it just went worse
with Megatron and Sentinel Prime dead
will there be a Transformers 4?

That's All For Now!
Thank You For Reading!

Movie Review 3: Ironman

Ironman

Who doesn't know this genius?
I just watched it recently with company
though I know this movie came out
around 2007 or 2008
which really sucks :/
because back then I didn't really
care much about Marvel Movies.
Well you know what?
Now I do!

The story starts showing how
Tony Stark is the head of Stark Industries,
a major military contracting company
he inherited from his father.
Even though he is an inventive genius and wunderkind,
he is also a playboy.
(which is pretty interesting)
One day, while his father's old partner,
Obadiah Stane,
takes care of day-to-day operations,
Stark flies to war-torn Afghanistan
with his friend and military liaison,
Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes a.k.a. "Rhodey",
for a demonstration of Stark Industries'
new weapon, the "Jericho" missile.
However, Stark is critically wounded
in an assault and finds himself the prisoner
of an Afghan terrorist group
known as the Ten Rings.
Shrapnel in his chest is kept in place
by an electromagnet built by fellow captive Dr. Yinsen,
which will keep it from entering
his heart and killing him.
The Ten Rings leader, Raza, offers Stark his freedom
in exchange for building a Jericho missile
for the group, but Tony and Yinsen
agree he will not keep his word.

During his three months of captivity,
Stark and Yinsen secretly build a powerful
electric generator called an arc reactor,
which will power Stark's electromagnet,
and then begin to build a suit of armor to escape.
The Ten Rings attack the workshop
when they discover what Stark is doing,
and Yinsen fights back to buy Stark time
as the suit powers up.
The armored Stark battles his way out of the caves
and finds the dying Yinsen,
who tells him not to waste his life.
Stark burns the terrorists' munitions
and flies away to crash in the desert,
destroying the suit.
This part was really funny
because Stark was as if
giving hope to the audience that
he could fly back to America,
until when he eventually crash land
hahahahahaha!!

After being rescued by Rhodes,
Stark returns home and announces
that his company will no longer manufacture weapons.
Stane advises Stark that this may ruin
Stark Industries and his father's legacy.
In his home workshop,
Stark builds an improved version
of his suit as well as a more powerful
arc reactor for his chest.
When Stark makes his first public appearance
after his return, reporter Christine Everhart informs him
that Stark Industries' weapons,
including the Jericho, were recently delivered to the Ten Rings
and are being used to attack Yinsen's home village.
He also learns that Stane is trying to succeed him
as head of the company.
Enraged, Stark dons his new armor
and flies to Afghanistan
where he saves Yinsen's village
and turns Raza over to the villagers.
While flying home,
Stark is shot at by two F-22 Raptor fighter jets.
He calls Rhodes on his cell phone
and reveals his secret identity
in an attempt to get the attack called off.
Meanwhile,
the Ten Rings find the pieces
of Stark's prototype suit and meet with Obadiah,
who has the group eliminated
and has the company's engineers reverse engineer
a new suit from the wreck.
Seeking to find any other weapons
delivered to the Ten Rings,
Stark sends his assistant Virginia "Pepper" Potts
to hack into the company computer system
from Obadiah's office.
She discovers Obadiah has been supplying terrorists
with Stark weaponry and hired
the Ten Rings to kill Stark,
but the group reneged on the deal upon
discovering who the target was.
Pepper, soon after, meets with agent Phil Coulson
of the "Strategic Homeland Intervention,
Enforcement and Logistics Division",
a counter-terrorism agency,
to inform him of Obadiah's activities.

Stane's scientists cannot duplicate Stark's arc reactor,
so Stane ambushes Stark in his home,
using a sonic device to paralyze him
and take his arc reactor.
Left to die, Stark crawls to his lab
and retrieves his original reactor.
Potts and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents
attempt to arrest Stane, but are attacked
by him in his now functional suit.
Stark races to the rescue and fights Stane,
but is quickly overpowered
without his new reactor to run his suit
at full capacity.
Stark lures him atop the Stark Industries building
and instructs Potts to overload
the large arc reactor in the building.
This unleashes a massive electrical surge
that knocks Stane unconscious,
causing him and his armor to fall into the exploding reactor.
The next day, the press has dubbed
Stark in his armor as "Iron Man".
Agent Coulson gives him a cover story
to explain the events of
the night and Stane's death.
At a press conference,
Stark starts to tell the cover story
given to him by S.H.I.E.L.D.,
but then announces that he is Iron Man.

In a post-credits scene,
S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury visits Stark at home,
and, noting that Iron Man is not
"the only superhero in the world",
says he wants to discuss the "Avenger Initiative".

"The truth is....I am Ironman"
said Tony Stark

Compliments to the director
and to the author of Ironman.
It looked really awesome
Only one thing,
which is when Stane's suit appeared,
it looked totally COMPUTERIZED!
I don't really know
if the director or multimedia team
are too lazy to focus on the villian
but it's just...computerized.
Unlike Ironman's suite
which looked really realistic
with all the high tech knowledge
which shows that Stark
is 10 times a genius
than his father Howard Stark,
who is known to be the most
intelligent person in weaponry.

That's All For Now!

Life is Like a Cup of Coffee: My Opinion

21st of September, 2011

Today's class speaks about how
life is viewed like a cup of coffee
I wasn't really surprise to see about it
because life has been phrased in
many different ways,
For Example, life can be viewed like
a person climbing up a tree
or climbing up a high mountain
or even a road.
There are so many ways
to describe life.

So today it was presented that
Life is Like a Cup of Coffee
It was a story of how
graduated students were visiting
their professor.
They had a talk, and it grew to complains
then it grew to a fight.
Then the professor asked the students
"Would you all like a cup of coffee?"
Everyone agrees
and the professor went to the kitchen
to get the coffee ready.
However, instead of getting
cups with the coffee ready in it,
he brought a tray with few expensive cups
and few with cheap ones
as well as a jug of coffee.
He told to the students "help yourself"
Everyone was glaring at the cups
and everyone was trying to see
who's cup was better.
When everyone had they cup of coffee
then professor told them
of how everyone wanted
the expensive cups
and how everyone was comparing
one another.
"But all you wanted was the coffee"
said the professor.

Here in the story,
our careers, studies, events are the cups
and our life is the coffee.
Cups are just tools to serve the coffee.
What most people forget is to enjoy the coffee.
It doesn't matter what cup a person uses
because the coffee will remain the same.
It's the quality of the coffee that
everyone should appreciate.

So we were all asked
"Do you want the cup or the coffee?"
Of course everyone answered 'the coffee'
However, I don't really want to
admit that I want the coffee nor the cup.
Heck, I don't even care what cups I am being offered
because I would be just labelled as a hypocrite.

Surely everyone wants to enjoy the coffee
everyone wants to enjoy life to the fullest.
How? It literally depends on an individual.
A person could travel to enjoy life.
But to travel one must have money.
But to have money one must work.
But to work one must study first.
But to study one must have determination.
How many people will be willing to do it?
Solemnly only a few.

A person could gain skills
by playing musical instruments or such.
But still it goes down to determination.
How determine people are to enjoy life?
It literally depends on an individual.

If everyone has the same
high determination then the world
would be a boring place I'd say.
Why? Because then everyone
would achieve their dreams
in a matter of time.
Everyone would have enough
money for everything.
Everyone would not be sick.
Everything we need will be at our hands.
We would experience everything
in life in a matter of time.
Without a single problem.
And when everything is done.
There's always a question
"What else is there to life?"

So literally the problems
are what spice up our life.
It is what we should really enjoy the most.
It's like going to an adventure
where we face many problems
along the way.
Yes, that's just how life is.
Let's say the coffee is our life
and our problems is the milk
which sweetens the coffee :3

That concludes my opinion on
Life is Like a Cup of Coffee :)
