Transformers

I watched the movie the other night. I was not jumping up and down with joy but it did bring back happy childhood memories.

I felt the subtle signs of memory loss that could in all probability come only with age, when I had to scrape through my cerebral cortex to name the autobots and decepticons. Of course, I didn't have to try that hard to draw out Optimus Prime and Bumblebee -- who I somehow quite associated with myself when I was little. I wonder why they made him a Chevrolet Camaro in the movie, I kinda liked the the Volks Beetle more in the tv series .

The movie was visually very appealing but somehow the adult in me found the simple storyline a bit flat that I was literally dozing at times during the film. Oh well. Or maybe it is also another sign of old age stepping in.
