More Than Meets the Eye? .....

I'm not young enough, really, to have been caught up in "The Transformers" craze of the 1980s ..... you know, the toy line that tied into a cartoon series, that promoted sales of the toys, that encouraged interest in the cartoons, and so on .....

Still, I plan on going to see the new, feature-length, live-action
Transformers movie set to debut next month. So is Jim, at serotoninrain ..... at least, I think he is ..... judge for yourself .....

I have to agree with Jim ..... director Michael Bay - who is no stranger to fantasy and science fiction - really hasn't lit up the silver screen with past projects. On the other hand, though, I have a very low seduction level when it comes to special effects, and the effects displayed in the trailer for this film look great!

Jeff, I have no plans to see this movie, Michael Bay is all the encouragment I need to stay away.

I do hope, for your enjoyment's sake, that he transcends his seemingly innate lack of directorial ability for this movie.

And also that the special effects rock your socks off.

Jim, thanks for stopping in. I'll let you know what we think.
