Transforming the Movie Industry

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2007)

Michael Bay the king of special effects keeps us all awake from the beginning to the end. The "ahhs and oohhhs" and how did they do this were running rampant in the theater. And prototype Camaro was cool. But I can not honestly give this movie a 10 because effects alone can not carry a movie and Michael should know this, after all he was on "The Lot" critiquing.
This movie's script has dated cliché lines from years ago and the actors seem like high school play actors reciting the dialog they put together. The parents with their comedic focus on their son and his doings fall a little short,maybe the actors, not sure. The fight scenes are far too many during this movie and boringly drag on and on, maybe I should blame the Editor...too much of a good thing is not so good. I found myself hoping there was more to the climatic end. I also thought based on earlier in the movie, if the cube was put in the chest it would cause death, but it obviously didn't. And speaking of the end, we see TRANS2 in the future and for variety maybe Michael Bay will give other automaker's prototypes a try.
