Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon

Me and my pal Optimus ... taking a break from the Wuzhen / China posts :-)

Cinema: CineRoyal, Khalidiyah Mall - Abu Dhabi

Tickets: 30 AED (RM$24)

2D or 3D? We deliberately chose ... 2D. Dunno how to describe it, but we actually prefer this format of film!
Our verdict ... We loved it!

Brilliant conspiracy-theory style start, with excellent historical footage of Neil Armstrong on the moon. Excellent effects, but I would have preferred if Bumblebee made more of an appearance! Was surprised how many stars were in this installment ... John Malkovich (Bruce), Patrick "McDreamy" Dempsey (Bad guy, Dylan), Tyrese Gibson (Returns as Epps), John Turturro (Simmons), Joshn Duhamel (Returns as Lennox), and of course Sam Witwicky, oops ... Shia LaBeouf. And, FHM girl of the year, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was yummy!

Movies.Sky.Com says ... Today it emerges that Michael Bay's Transformers: Dark Of The Moon has broken all records to become the biggest movie released over America's Independence Day weekend ever. The third outing of the titular robots in disguise which stars Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley has now made a staggering $416m at the worldwide box office, beating Spider-Man 2 to become the highest ever earner over America's holiday weekend.

Not everyone thought Transformers 3 was so entertaining. Here is what The National, here in Abu Dhabi said ... it slammed the film! Yes, "1 star" or ... "DIRE!".
