Transformers is a perfect action/sci-fi flick that everyone needs to watch before they die!

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2020)

In all honesty, I completely forgot how epic and perfect of an action/sci-fi this movie was. I'm not a huge Micheal Bay fan yet this movie wouldn't have been the same without the madman. Every mechanical lash, every technological pulse fed that little destruction craving demon inside from chaotic (and momentarily perplexing) yet captivating action pieces featuring flawless CGI that crossed the line between digitally animated creatures and pure flesh made man. Shia Labeouf performance was ultimately scary for how exceptionally realistic and convincing he built the character of Sam. Furthermore, every role was perfectly acted; both actors and actresses actualized a plethora of characters whom felt formerly grounded in this world before the plot called for their aid. In light of this, the dialogue was creepily faultless and featured the naturalism that comes in arguments, fearful conversation and disagreeable banter. Moreover, the comedy was on point and didn't try to be anything it wasn't, withal it depicted the messy reality which is humor between several voices. The pacing this movie planted was endlessly aggressive with little to no breathing room but it was brilliant; assisting the 'end of the world' concept to a near perfect standard and always keeping the audience on their feet with no blunt moments. In pair with the stunning, picturesk visuals delivered from the anamorphic lenses, Steve Jablonsky's godlike score conquered the science fiction aspect this movie so desperately reached for and undoubtedly achieved. However, not to be fooled, this movie featured a wide variety of plot holes and awkward tangles that tears from the piece of art it is. My biggest gripe being Sam's and Makaela's underdeveloped relationship that required only a fraction more screen time to further captivate. Nevertheless, in combination with all it did well, especially with the addition of the astronomically incredible, jaw-dropping sound design; Transformers is a perfect action/sci-fi flick that everyone needs to watch before they die!
