Embodies everything that is wrong with commercial cinema today

Rating: 1/10 (27 March 2011)

I love good action movies. They are a great way to relax and forget reality for a while.
But this movie just made me cringe. I felt embarrassed for the actors who had to utter those unbelievably stupid lines and to act out that absurd plot line with a straight face. This plot line can be summed up in one sentence: a bunch of morons hectically running around, shouting inane things and acting in incomprehensible ways.
The special effects are great but one-dimensional and repetitive and lose their appeal very quickly. After 10 minutes or so they are just boring and grate on the nerves. Noise and movement and colorful explosions are not enough to sustain a film, especially if the action sequences consist entirely of endless variations of the same theme: bulky robots fighting each other and crushing things.
The only redeeming feature of this film is the beauty (not acting capability) of Megan Fox. She is hot!
