great action better than expected

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2013)

The Autobots and the Decepticons bring their war from the planet of Cybertron to Earth. They battle for the Allspark which is a mystical source of unimaginable power. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has artifacts from his grandfather who met a giant robot in his arctic expedition.
This is a much better movie than I could ever expect. I had serious reservations when I first heard that Michael Bay was going to make a live action Transformers movie. The CGI looks great. Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox actually work. They have spark and charisma. The action is massive and impressive.
It's the story where the movie has a few problems. It's convolute and too complicated. But nobody watches this for the story. We watch it for the action.
