I Know It's Micheal Bay But...

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2007)

...I enjoyed this. The plot takes a few leaps in logic, but this is as to be expected for a movie about giant robots who transform into cars and assorted vehicles. Actually until the transformers speak it's a semi- realistic sci-fi film, after which it's just the Transformers cartoon, "we are good they are evil, let's fight!", which they do a lot of, which pleased me. It's basically a boys with toy's story, except the car to win the dream girl is sentient and out to save the earth. The films big draw is that giant robots trash each other in a crowded metropolitan area, and that was present. If this kind of thing doesn't interest you, your probably not gonna like this. Occasionally it was difficult for me to establish who was fighting who, until I realized this didn't matter, and was able to enjoy in my childish(infantile) fantasy comes to life before me. The original Animated film is actually a much more unique and stylized experience, but this was good too, by good I mean "special effects/action scenarios", nothing else worth mentioning. If you can confine your viewing pleasure to this narrow regressive childlike space though, good times.
