But as always, what are your thoughts, comments, opinions, etc.

Now if only I could find a dealership that sold cars that could transform…

Thoughts:
I’m not sure about everyone else, but when I was a little younger, I just loved huge robots from space fighting each other to conquer or save the universe all while being able to transform into different vehicles and stuff. When I originally saw the preview for the Transformers movie, I was so excited since it looked just so… COOL. What this leads into is how the movie industry has improved so much within the years. Being able to see vehicles “transforming” in real-time into huge CG-like robots is something amazing. You have to wonder how far technology will take us in terms of movies, television and pretty much in entertainment. How realistic will movies be within the next 5 years? 10 years? 50 years? Only time will tell.
