This sequel directed by Michael Bay would definitely raise the bar in the special effects department. I think Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is more explosive than the first one. They had the movie shot in those pyramids in Egypt where Shia’s character, Sam Witwicky, deciphers Transformers’ origin and existence through symbols. New robotic characters were introduced and expect more live action from lead stars Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox, and the rest of the cast. Hugo Weaving lent his voice to Megatron and Australian actress Alice Lucas plays Shia’s college friend. Josh Duhamel’s character, Captain Lennox, rocks as usual. It’s a date on June 25 and the race to secure seats has already started, unless you would like to endure those snake lines.

Here are some helpful reminders when you watch Transformers. If there are two of you watching, let the other one buy food for both of you while you line up for the tickets. But if you know someone from the theatre, it’s time to pull some strings. I’m pretty sure all cinemas will be booking seats until the wee hours in the morning. Reserve a seat in the middle or last row. Otherwise, risk sporting a migraine with those hardcore actions. Believe me, my prediction is as accurate as those diet pills that work. If the swine flu scares the hell out of you, wear a mask. Well, Optimus Prime always does.
