Transformers Revenge Japan
Went along with comrades from the web2.0 Tokyo scene to attend Tokyo Transformers Night held at The IMAX cinema at Lazona in Kanagawa.

For those who are planning to watch Transformers "Revenge of the Fallen" - bring spare underwear - at least 20 pairs. Its that good! Have still not seen Star Trek to compare yet but Transformers is a must see for Sci-Fi fans.
On the way into the cinema they gave us this certificate to show that we were the first to watch the first public screening of Transformers Revenge in the world ^^;
Zooming back in time to the end of the office day. Been working on the figure.fm relaunch. Here is the avatar creation screen. Now you dont need to worry about making your own - just upload any image and drag/resize the box.
UI needs a bit of work.
Just before six, some of the lads come over. I take the opportunity to get rid of my unwanted rubbish - I mean useful stuff.
Ryan in my chair came over to Tokyo as part of the Geeks on a plane tour - Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing - Tech company visits and networking.
Then its off by car to Kanagawa - about 30 mins drive.
T'was a lovely evening's drive while listening to Ridge Racer R4.
Was just before 6pm so the roads where relatively clear.
Arrival at Lazona - a huge shopping complex that opened recently-ish.
At Bic Camera to check out the transformers goodies.
Mass produced so the quality in terms of detail isn't really there - looks decent though. Would probably look better with some weathering.
Was thinking of picking this up. Want to spray it gloss white and wear it with my armor - TransTrooper ^^;
The Bumblebee voice mixer below.
Have you seen these Robo Q robots before? The worlds smallest robots with some sort of intelligence apparently. Steve Nagata just happened to have one on him. You can control them with the remote and if they spot obstacles they they will walk around it. 3,150 yen.
After looking around in Bic Camera, its time to look for dindins.
Didnt have time to explore this time round.
Prawn with menchi katsu. Delicious.
T'was one of the more traditional places where you get a bowl to crush your nuts. Sesame nuts.
Dinner done and as we near 8pm, we hear more Transformer noises. How would you spell the transforming noise? I make it out to be something like Kuewchukukukoo ^^;
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in sight! So thats what the Pyramid was all about! Opens officially tomorrow. When does it open in your neck of the woods?
Grabbing some grub.
I've heard a lot about these IMAX cinemas and didn't expect too much apart from a bigger screen - completely exceeded my expectations.
The screen is a bit curved and the whole cinema rumbled with the explosions - a completely different experience and well worth it.
If you are tempted to watch a cam version then don't - you will completely ruin the experience for yourself. You should feel most satisfied with the money you pay to see this flick. Our seats were 2,000 yen each.
In the first film, we had to watch until half way though until we saw Transformers action - in Revenge - its right from the beginning - a ton of it! Trailer 1 below.
This time round, there are many varieties of Transformers - many surprises in store. The things that they can transform into are very surprising indeed ^^;
I did find some of the action hard to see - combination of the fact that the screen was huge and that you had to move your head left n right to catch the action, and also because of the designs of the transformers - some of the battle scenes ended up looking like scrap clumps of metal flying about - hard to distinguish what was what at times.
Trailer 2 below.
The battle in Eygpt was full of intense action. They had this huuuge Decepticon which was formed by many construction vehicles. Optimus Primes extra "Super Parts" where kinda Macross-esqe.
Not going to talk much about the plot but I loved it - liked this one more than the first as we were blessed with Transformer action from the start. The film is 2 hours and 40 mins but never has those boring bits so you are pretty much wide awake for the whole show.
Many laughs to be had too - LOL at "Humping Decepticon" ^^;;
Would love to watch again but this time sitting further away from the screen so that I can catch any action that I missed.
Cant wait for the 3rd film...

WIP-TK Otaku
http://www.youtube.com/user/Rodimus1138
I didn't buy the first leader prime because I figured they'd make a more accurate version for the next movie and I was right apparently I was right for blackout too because I keep hearing that hasbro's making a leader blackout also I might pick up jetfire just for the jet mode that thing is huge.

A leader class blackout done right would be very cool. Still not sold on the movie starscream or megatron toys personally. I love my master piece starscream & megatron!

I was sold on starscream but then I heard rumors of a leader starscream -_- I'm gonna wait that one out as for leader megatron I'd get him but his left arm is tiny strangly enough though voyager megs dosen't have that problem

Was dissapointed with it as i've just come back from seeing it at my local cinema, the plot was paper thin really and although the action brought it back up from a low score (Giant Robots juking it out with each other, what's not to like?!?! lol) it wasn't enough to get it over an average rating :/ (Which pains me to say that, I've grown up with Transformers)
I'm giving it a 3/5

I flail in absolute frustration that it comes out on the 24th for us here in the states. The awesome thing though, is that I'm gonna get to watch it for free in IMAX.

We actually managed to rent out an entire theater, too. ^_^.

Well, about Optimus Prime looking Macross-esque, the original transformer toy line, was a mix of other transformable toys, including some VF Strikers from Macross. There is a character in this movie, that was this VF model, but due to concerns about the whole macross copyright thing in america, they made it look like something else :/
Can't wait to see it! And you should see Star Trek too, it's worth it as well.

When I looked at the trailers, some of the action scenes did look just like pieces of scrap metal flying around the screen, twas confusing. I'm sure to watch this one when it comes out in Australia, although i'm not sure if i'll watch it at IMAX or not. To get to IMAX for me it's quite the effort and cost.

Wow Danny, I agree with your taste in music. Hiroshi Okubo's work for Ridge Racer R4 was pretty tight, don't you think?
man, you're so lucky you got to see it before everyone else. i, however, have to wait until it comes out next week. nevertheless, it will be well worth the wait

I just hope they don't spend an hour without a single transformer, introducing the human characters no one cares about.
>_> And don't get me started on the product placement and random army montage. Why is the army even in the movie? I don't remember the army ever being able to do anything to any Transformer.
Oh yeah, because Micheal Bay loves the army waaaaaaaaay too much, and is convinced everyone else loves them.

Hmmm... it's like $3-5 additional for IMAX here... I dunno if it's worth it. Might just go for the normal screening. Well either way it's money well spent since it's almost 3 hours! I hate going for a movie and it's like 80 minutes or something.

Good to hear that you thought it was better than the first movie. Thinking back on the first one, it's a good popcorn flick, but I really dislike how Michael Bay shoots action shots. Unfortunately, this looks like much of the same as well, though at least the action starts early.

Well, I watched it today, and I think you hit the nail on the head. Brilliant film, plenty of action and straight from the get-go this time around. I loved it! <3
Personal highlights included "Decipticon humping" and Jetfire's random rants ("Oh bollocks.") Very enjoyable overall, can't wait for the third! xD

Screening for it only starts on the 24th of June here. Movie tickets in Japan seem to be really expensive haha. A ticket here only costs about RM 11 which is around USD 3.
There is only one IMAX theater over here. Haven't been to it though.

Was planing to watch it at IMAX but with the screen so big, I'm gonna miss out on most of the action. One of my workmates re watched The Dark Knight at his local cinema after watching it at IMAX for the same reason.

I'm skipping this movie much like I did with the first one. To me, this is just another live action giant robot movie. I personally feel that it would have still fared well if they went with the storyline but did not base the characters on the Transformers franchise. But unlike "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", this movie is not hindered by saying it is a franchise-based movie when, in fact, it has nothing to do with said franchise. (Side note: That Final Fantasy movie should have been called "The Spirits Within" or something like that, remove the cliche plot ending, and they could have made a new franchise.)
But with Transformers, as a franchise, I think I will personally look for the G1 and maybe the Robots in Disguise stuff at this time. That is, if I can get back into it all. Because there is nothing better than Dinobots, Headmasters, and the like. :3

Transformers was awesome!! ^^ I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did and I think it may have topped the first one.

i agree with you, it deserves the 15$.
also the action was a bit confusing, couldn't tell which part is which, or what kinda move is the autobot doing on the decepticon, slow motion was only applied on Megan Fox ;)
but again, the movie was m-azin ^^

I'm with you!
The only move that I remembered well is the moviment of the Megan fox's Breats at the first plane all the movie! I don't criticize it, but I payed for see a big mechanical weapons fighting each other,no to see Megan's Fox jumping all the movie.
But there is no other way, so this movie is an action movie, robot movie, maked clearly for guys to guys....
