Ah yes, military bases - no tax on goods, cheap gas, and a sneak preview of Transformers. Michael Bay did one hell of a bang up job on this one.
I went into the movie expecting a cool, product-placement movie, but what I got in return was a ridiculous but awesome film. From the get go, the movie is fast paced and the action starts quick. Then it slows down into a story building motion, but speeds up again after the introduction of all of the characters. Basically, the movie can be split into two parts: the ridiculous, comedic portion and the action oriented, blow your mind portion.
As for the graphics, simply put they are orgasmically good. The transformations from car to bot, and vice versa, are smooth and flowing even in the middle of action. They mesh well with the environments and actually appear to be real without that CGI-texture look.
Nerd or moviegoer alike, the movie is great and I would have spent my hard-earned money it if I didn't have the option of seeing this free screening. However, for the supernerds out there, there are a few inconsistencies in the movie but only they would let that ruin the experience. Easily and most likely the top movie of the summer so far.
