Good, but cheesy

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2007)

First of all, I will say this movie was exciting and spectacular eye-candy. It was just too overly produced for my liking. Shia Labeouf truly shines and takes control of every scene he's in. The only actors i enjoyed were him and the relationship he had with his parents, truly good scenes. Why does Jon Voigt (or however you spell it) walk in every scene? WHY IN EVERY GOVOURNMENT SCENE DO THEY BLOCK IT LIKE AN E.R. EPISODE? I liked the effects and all, but the plot line and character reaction to the plot line gets so misconstrued a lot. This is not a movie for the acting, i realize, but please get Shia into like an independent drama and not an overproduce computer graphics love fest. All in all, good movie, i just wanna see Shia doing better things..
