Finding Faith in the Movies 1: Transformers

As a huge fan of the Transformers Film Series, I've applied a little Biblical knowledge to it and found some pretty impressive parallels.  I've already mentioned that Optimus Prime is a Christ-figure, dying and returning to life, but in the first film, it is revealed that Optimus, the main hero, and Megatron, the main villain, are brothers, like Cain and Abel.  In books for the second film, it is revealed that Megatron is a villain because he feels cheated of the "Prime" title Optimus holds, Primes being the royalty and descendants of the original 13 Transformers.  Many people have pointed out that like there were 13 people at the Last Supper, there are 13 original Transformers, and one is a villainous backstabber.  In Transformers lore, he is called "The Fallen," paralleling the devil, and he was the main villain of the second movie, Megatron's boss.  The Fallen takes on an "Emperor Palpatine" role with Megatron, misleading him to further his own goals, like his namesake.  Of other interest, the Decepticons sacrifice an unwilling participant in the second movie to revive Megatron in a scene highlighted by the line "need parts.  Kill ze little one!"  This calls to mind, on some occasions, how enemies in the Bible participated in human sacrifice.  By contrast, when Optimus is revived, it is through self-sacrifice.  In fact, after he is revived, the dying Jetfire sacrifices himself to give Optimus enough power to succeed.  Of other interest in the second film, Sam Witwicky states "This will work, because I believe it," about what is revealed to be his destiny, use the Matrix of Leadership to revive Optimus.  In fact, throughout the film, Sam's bizarre behavior could resemble a prophet (is drawing symbols ceaselessly and traveling around the world for something that disappears really any more strange than smashing pots and staring at models?).  Sam also has the name of a prophet and acts as the voice of morality throughout the film, truly making it "more than meets the eye." 
This is just something to think about when you watch these films.  I look forward to seeing Dark of the Moon and seeing just how Biblical concepts can be reflected in sci-fi.  Also, I saw part of "All Dogs go to Heaven" today and that my Dad (who's a minister) is following me, so I felt I needed to do something spiritual.
