Costumers at the Singapore premiere

23 June – Currently sneaking into all major cinemas now, the most anticipated sequel for 2009 "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" had its Malaysian and Singaporean premiere last night on 22 June. The scene at The Cathay, Singapore saw many Transformers costumers hyping up the crowd as there was not one, not two, but three Optimus Primes, a Bumblebee, Starscream, female Optimus Prime, female Bumblebee and eight US desert army soldiers.

Cinema Online had a special preview screening for "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" contest winners last night as well, held at GSC Mid Valley, 9.30pm. The movie will officially release tomorrow in 24 cinemas islandwide within Singapore, while screening in 67 cinemas within Malaysia. Sneak preview tickets are sold out at all major cinemas in Malaysia tonight! On another note, GSC Tropicana City Mall opens today, on the eve of "Transformers 2" opening and is celebrated with a traditional lion dance ceremony. The movie sees the return of the Autobots battling out for the sake of the Universe against the ever power-hungry Decepticons.

Will these lions transform?

After the screening, we asked some of our winners "What did they think of the movie and how many stars would they rate it out of five."

Michael: Explosive action! This is a good war movie. More serious then the film before and since it is rated PG-13, parents should be more aware that this film contains some sexual elements and more violence. Wheelie is my favourite because he's disgustingly funny. I'd give this movie 4.5 stars!

R. Murali: The film was loaded with action and the robots were so amazing and hilarious. I truly enjoyed it, but then again, the ending could be better improved as it seemed too fast. The graphics was just mind-blowing and so realistic. Overall, I'd give 3.5 stars.

Theran (right): I love "Transformers" and have watched the first movie 3 times. The second film was very good, though I'd still prefer the first movie as there are fewer robots. However, this movie had a much better storyline and graphics. I would give 5 stars and would watch this again soon!

Marcel Fabian (right): Incredible. It exceeded my expectations! It was more exciting and complex, way better than the first film. It was funny and robots were fantastically transformed. The computer graphics were really good. Can't wait to watch it again. I'd give 4.5 stars!

"Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" opens on 24 June 2009 in Singapore and Malaysia!
