| Transformers and a look ahead to Transformers 2Transformers is one of the best movies I've seen this year. Easily fueling the fire of Transformers fans for years to come. While the sexual humor and stuff was not needed, the robots were cool enough to allow you to forget all of that.
Ratatouille is also a great film. It's a simple story that takes you on an original adventure. Pixar is second to none when it comes to animating a film.
Now, if you haven't seen Transformers yet, go now. I'm going to write what I think will happen in the next one, so stop reading until you've seen the first one.
Still with me?
Okay. Here's what my ideal storyline for the next Transformers film would entail.
Transformers 2
A huge spaceship called the Ark is headed for Earth. On board are many of the remaining Autobots, answering the call of Optimus Prime. Close behind, Starscream is on-board a Decepticon ship, filled with Decepticons such as Soundwave, among others. As the Ark approaches Earth, the Decepticons damage the ship and it crash lands on the side of a volcanic mountain in a desert region of the United States.
The Decepticons are under the "leadership" of Starscream, returning to Earth to seek revenge. However, Soundwave double crosses Starscream, and finds a way to bring the ship into the Ocean, where Megatron awaits. It is there, under the water, that the Decepticons build a base of operations.
Sam and Mikaela start out the movie having married between films. That takes care of any possibility of a Will Turner/Elizabeth Swann type love story, plus it takes out the "will they/won't they" and leaves room for more of what we're all there to see anyway: TRANSFORMERS.
Meanwhile, Optimus leads the Autobots to the crash site of the downed Ark where they form a headquarters.
In the desert lives a boy that already feels like he's been outcast from society. People look at him differently. Living in the desert, he's become great with computers, and wishes he could live a "normal" life. His name is Chip Chase, a young computer genius that is confined to a wheelchair. When one of the Autobots is in trouble near by, he is able to come to their aide, and eventually comes to help them out at their base. No longer the outcast, he is one of many that people now admire, the perfect teammate for the Autobots. (In the original animated series, Prowl's "battle computer" is damaged in a fight with Decepticons. He then goes online to seek help from the Autobots or from Teletran 1, the computer system in the Ark. He, instead, communicates with Chip, who gives him a hand.)
Without the All-Spark Cube, the Decepticons have a new goal: Energon. They'll take it from wherever they can. And the Autobots have to stop them from getting too much of it, or they'll be able to construct a new All-Spark Cube.
Thus ends my idea's for Transformers 2, so far.
I wanted to also fit the Dinobots in, but this is already pretty full, so perhaps Transformers 3.
Anyway, that's a bit of what I think the sequel should have. I think the story should now be more from the robots' perspectives.. we've gotten the movie that introduces them, now we're primed and ready for a movie that focuses on them almost entirely. |
