Watch Your Back or the Rage Against The Machines!

Rating: 5/10 (27 July 2007)

Don't tell those robots that I told you this; they are very sensitive. Transformers is an adequate film adaptation. What it lacks in plot it makes up for in extraordinary animation and effects. It all begins on the premise that there are ancient intelligent robots out there in the universe, fighting a millennium long war. I trust that you already know this. It also begins as so many movies do, with a dude humiliating himself to impress a girl (Mikaela=Megan Fox), a real fox. Who didn't see that coming?
The plot of the film is minimal at best, a set of short stories haphazardly assembled into a dizzying adventure. It might have been the filmmaker's intention, to create a pseudo documentary. The script is also believable, with very little thought put into it as if the actors were winging it. Maybe they were? One thing that is unmistakable is that the effects will be unmatched for years to come. A solid 1/2.
