Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects Disadvantages: none
good and evil, but with cutting edge special effects and action scenes galore this is a great film to watch.
The blu-ray version i watched was a 2 disc set with the second disc full of extras. There was a section on the history of transformers, and interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and director Michael Bay. There were also features on the animation used and the way they worked out where to do scenes. You also get a look at the military equipment seen and used in the film.
This additional information is something you do not want to skip over, because it gives you a much deeper understanding of how much planning and work went into the final production. If you are into cutting edge special effects and head banging action then beg, borrow, rent, or if that fails buy ...
Advantages: Good 70's stuff. Disadvantages: Slightly dated of course.
You will be aware of the latest blockbuster movie called I am legend, and may know of a film from years ago, that someone said was similar. Well, the original film was called The OmegaMan, and it was based on a book called "I am legend".
The story is simple enough, one man (Charlton Heston) is the sole survivor of a germ war that either killed off the worlds entire population, or turned them into killer mutants called "The Family".
The modern version starring Will Smith is a copy of this classic, and I must say not a very good copy, considering the OmegaMan was 37 years ago, and the art of special effects has improved no end. Personally I actually prefer the original. It was gritty, '70s stuff, with Heston gunning down the baddies like there was no tomorrow. Actually there may not be if he didn't gun them down.
Heston is ...
Advantages: Concept,story.Jim carrey Disadvantages: Don't expect an oscar winner
Yes Man- starring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel is director Peyton Reed's next big film after Breakup.It seems romantic comedy is his thing and he certainly succeeds in achieving what he was set out to-to entertain the audience.
The basic premise of the film is quiet simple yet undeniably innovative.Carl is a loner,a divorced guy who would rather stay home and do nothing than going out and having fun with friends.The monotony of his life bogs him down and eventually makes him feel like a loser.He decides to participate in one of those seminars where he is made to vow to say "yes" to every question!
The whole idea did seem to be very thin to me initially.I thought this can't go on for long and would ultimately become boring.Kudos to the writing team to take the story forward in such a lovely manner,introducing new characters ...
The Omega Man is the last man alive in a biologically decimated future world. He crusades to keep himself alive and to fend off a diseased pack of neo-vampires...

DVD Description
In the aftermath of a bacteriological war, the future of mankind hangs in the balance. Only a chosen few have survived the mutating effects of germ warfare unharmed. A small enclave of healthy, stalwart resistors has formed a camp where, for the moment, they live peacefully. The other human survivors are terribly disfigured mutants referred to as the "Family" who walk the earth at night in search of prey. Charlton Heston plays the last man alive in this chilling classic, gathering supplies by day from a deserted Los Angeles whose streets are strewn with the post-apocalyptic flotsam of the super-funky '70s. Based on Richard Matheson's novel I AM LEGEND made before as THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964) with Vincent Price.
