Hey guys, i got back from watching Transformers One, when this movie was teased it was going to be animated, i was kinda excited about it like we didn't have a new animated Transformers film in 4 decades while we're stuck with the ambitious Michael Bay films that are extremely controversial and out of it's element, at least we have the 2018 Bumblebee film cuz... it is an outstanding and fun standalone movie! i'm still indifferent with Rise of the Beast, not great but i does capture it's material at least, but still crashed and burned lower than Bayverse and it still felt a little off.
And now with Transformers One, what are my thoughts about it? Well... i gotta say... THAT THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING SUPERB LIKE TOP TIER BEST TRANSFORMERS FILM OF ALL TIME!!! I am not kidding for those reasons, Transformers One is a Fantastic, Fast-Paced, Action Packed animated movie and prequel of all time, while the plot follows Optimus Prime and Megatron's origin story how they first became friends and later on became mortal enemies, and how the Autobots and Decepticons first formed during the climax, and... yeah, it does makes a lot of sense how we get to know them for us Transformers fans and new comers who haven't known about this franchise yet and also help follow the origin of Cybertron's history. :3
The first act while has a fun n' cheesy setting by the beginning, well between the conflict of Optimus Prime and Megatron brought to the forefront so far, well... they kinda started as miners trying to find worth and identity to show them for what they are in Cybertron, the second act where they bring in Bumblebee and Arcee go off trying to find the Matrix somewhere on the surface, but they also find the last living Prime (before Optimus) and this is where the act get's a bit intense as we dive deep, AND this also effects Megatron big time leading to the dark path especially the Decepticons of course, the third act is obviously my favorite part of the Movie where Megatron finds his Vengeance and trying to terrorize Cybertron, yeah... you can tell he scares us too much! and Optimus stops him giving them a final act in a fight scene, and it's obviously the best Optimus Prime vs. Megatron Battle i've ever seen, and this is how the fight scene handled where the Bayverse films lacked, this gladly makes up for that, not only that but it also effects them and how the origins keeps building up their beginning of the rivalries between each other, and... that worked! I can't say enough but it's obviously the best scene and climax i've ever watched and i loved it!!! Alright... now let's talk about the characters...
Orion (Optimus Prime) has a humble signature edge for what he can show them what he's capable of more than just a low-tier bot, aaaand dragging D-16 in to this of course, he also shows his maturity later in the story for what he's worthy of being a chosen one finding the Matrix of Leadership, and boom! Optimus Prime has landed, he's has a sense of nobility, his optimism hope, and many more he fits as the leader, that's him alright! D-16 (Megatron) is mostly hotheaded and a bit carried off in his arc by his obsession for revenge causing him to turn to the dark side later in the story. yeah... it got the best in him leading to the Decepticons, we also get to see Elita One and Bumblebee as well and they're pretty likable too! yeah... B-127 (Bumblebee) can be annoying and a comic-relief in this film at times but he does show his personality, Elita One is a disciplined who is a least tolerant to the nonsense she encounters, well with Orion but she has a softer side and hopes for him throughout the journey, and she's also humble. What about everyone else? yeah, they feel in-character enough, i can't say enough cuz i'm tired as fuck so... let's end this one here.
So uh... Same with the 2018 Bumblebee film, this is so much better than the Michael Bay films, although it is the Prequel to the event of… well either the Original '84 show, War for Cybertron, you tell me, if one of you haven't seen this movie, go give it a watch, trust me… it's faithful to it's own source material, i love it and you should too, especially for the 40th Anniversary of Transformers, what a great celebration for the film during the year of this franchise! :3
That's all...! hope y'all have a good night and Happy Madness Day too! :D
As you know... September was not a very good month for Video Games, but Except for Astro Bot cuz it is fun n' enjoyable with a lot of cameos of fan-favorite Playstation characters, it's a good stinger, but what else turns me off about Video Games boom this month is the Minecraft Movie and PS5 Pro, ok... let's start off with Minecraft...
I've heard not too long ago that Minecraft is getting it's own movie, i thought it was gonna be Live-Action and Animated with y'know... Jack Black and Jason Momoa casted in, and later on i've seen some magazines promoting for the movie but the characters are not what i think they are, cuz they're not... nope... and then few weeks ago, the Minecraft Trailer dropped by Warner Bros. and........... yeah... i'm as indifferent as i was when i saw this trailer... look, don't get me wrong, i don't hate the trailer, and i think it captures everything that's a little faithful to the game with the world building, it's settings, and just clicks with me fine, but... the CGI and the cast, especially Jack Black in there, it just made me cringe so much...
I mean it's like Hollywood themselves are trying to shove in these actors to kids to know them, just... they wanted them to watch the Movie involving Jack and Jason because of Kung Fu Panda, Jumanji, Aquaman and Fast X, and when Jack says to their guests "I am Steve", everyone fucking rolled their eyes and couldn't buy that is him, but we couldn't not see and hear him, we just saw Jack Black trying to be Steve, ugh... could've been better if we have best different actors other than these A-List actors.
And the CGI... i don't think it's that bad but they shouldn't milk in money to make CGI look like realistic video game cutscenes like they did with Borderlands, and the Sheep, Zombie Pigs and the Lama, well...... it's not as bad as i expected, but they could've done better with them just.... OK... Why not just make it fully animated...??? it could've worked like with the Illumination's Mario Movie, and this is what we get at the end??? GAAAAAAAAH....... If this fails... then i'm likely gonna skip this movie overall like i did with the Borderlands Movie and Kung Fu Panda 4, I didn't see Alien Romulus cuz i just think it's another Alien '97 throwback so i just went and saw Coraline instead... um......... what was i talking about again...?
Finally let's get to the PS5 Pro, when the PS5 Pro was rumored, if they backed in more storage and enhance the specs a little bit, i would buy it, and then a week ago, the PS5 is finally revealed, when i looked at the design, it looks beautiful and i can see how it improved the Slim with 3 bars and brough back the visible fans like with the original PS5, it's cool and all, but there is a downgrade, it doesn't attach with a disc drive anymore, um... ya think this is a big deal to not have the retail version of the PS5 Pro? i mean... it's not a bad idea, if it's for the Digital-Only fans, then i'm fine with it, but it is disappointing for us Retail fans to not return it's disc drive attatched, buuuuuuut... there is an optional disc drive that'll be on sale, but... ugh..... it still cost likely as a PS Plus and a 1TB SD Card, so far this downgrade sucks anyways. :/
And just then when i saw the price tag and it's selling above to SEVEN TO NINE HUNDREAD FUCKING DOLLARS?!?!??!? It's like buying a Macbook Pro decade all over again, did they have to milk in much money for this new bandwagon upgrade, i mean seriously, do we have to pay for all this??? and for what??? GTA 6 for enhancement with beautiful realistic graphic like what Hollywood was doing with the MCU movies??? Y'know what... NO... i am NOT paying $700 for this upgrade, i can just buy off the Slim than this AI-Enhanced cashgrab, the PS4 Pro was a big deal 9 years ago and we threw in money for twice as much space of storage and faster frame rates n' GPU power with this beautiful look, why can't we have that treatment instead and LET US JUST HAVE A LARGER STORAGE AND SMOOTH GPU PERFORMANCE BY $500 ENOUGH...!?!?!? Sorry, i had a bit of an episode here...
Well... the AI-Enhancement isn't as bad taking it a super resolution, it's a nice concept like with other 8K TVs, and the ray tracing n' optimized performance has been improved too, but i would rather have improved performance instead of these HD enhancement cuz they fucking hurt my eyes a little and they did have to milk in much money to these either, and with $700 for these, yeah... we're not upgrading to a Pro if that cost a little too much for a next-gen console and it shows too, it's not as bad as Concord that has crashed and burned, but as much as this has been criticized, yeah... we're likely not gonna pay that much money for this new look n' all. :/
And there's also a Playstation 30th Anniversary Collection pack for the PS5 as well, so if anyone want a PS1 decal for your PS5, then go for a Slim rather than the Pro cuz it's enough for you and you can Upgrade the Solid State Drive anytime better than the Pro, you're better off buying the PS5 Slim overall.
Welp... that was a shitshow for both PS5 Pro and the Minecraft Movie this month, and as i'm skipping both of them unless they figure this situation out, well... that's leaves us at the end of the journal here, i'm just gonna get back to my Halloween Project and fix my Twitter, til' next time!
