Other than SFX.... Rubbish Movie.

Rating: 3/10 (28 June 2007)

Sure, the SFX as everybody has stated DEFINITELY worth 10 stars. But the movie itself was totally ruined by the director or story writer whoever and deserves a huge one star. This is another movie that makes you ask "why did he do this? why did he do that? How did this happen and so on"... When a movie makes you come up with all these "why" questions... it's bound to be a terrible movie. I am a huge transformer fan myself. Have toys, whole series, old movies and books of transformers since im a young kid. All these years, i expected they were going to make a transformers movie and i really looked forward to it. It was one day when i watched pirates of Caribbean 3 that i saw the preview of transformers i jumped up in mid air screaming "oh yes!!!". I was pumped up alright... but not when i got to the actual movie. If you're a super fan of transformers like I am, a person who would dress up as megatron with a optimus prime head to the cinemas on first viewing... trust me u'll be hugely hugely disappointed. They made the transformers look more like BIONICLE units. They couldn't really create the uniqueness of each one of the transformers AND THAT INCLUDES OPTIMUS PRIME AND MEGATRON. Fight scenes were incredibly messy too with so much goof you can pick out. OH YES THE GOOF... THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM YOU CAN PICK OUT. The SFX were the only thing worth watching throughout this movie. I've been doing animation myself for quite many years with Maya and zbrush for fun and i must say im quite good at it. To tell me to do a short scene with the quality of shrek or incredibles is no problems and will take about 3-4 weeks. But to tell me to do a short scene of transformers... man it'll take me 3 months at least!!! THe SFX is by far the best i've seen in a movie hands down. But that's all there is to it guys...
The movie itself is just a piece of garbage. Don't expect much and only enjoy the SFX and u'll love this movie.
