In what sort of extra terrestrial universe is this a good film???

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2013)

Let me get something straight, I like movies which contain a good storyline, unpredictable plot twists, memorable dialogues and well executed direction and acting. And to be frank this movie had none of those. It was just a showcase of high- tech, expensive but pointlessly executed special effects filled with extremely boring clichés, petty thrills and cheap attempts to draw big crowds. Movies like this might be considered by some people as 'entertaining' but where is the class in it?
The acting is just awful, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was used as an eye candy but nothing else. Shia Lebeouf did what he did in the first two movies , bored us to death. His character is flat as usual and the acting was disappointing to say the least.
Now, coming to the context of the plot , there are no twists, no adrenaline-rushing action scenes, no depth in the storyline. The only thing that might be considered even remotely close to "good" in this huge mess is the work done by the special effects team. They managed to make some of the scenes pretty believable and realistic. And finally, how on earth did the writers manage to create plot holes in this rather simple plot? I mean how can machines survive for years in a metal corrosive surface like that of the moon? There were also other plot holes which I spotted but I'd have to spoil the story to point them out. Anyway, with due respect to Michael Bay and all who were involved in the making of this film, I'd like to request them to change their extremely commercial approach to filmmaking and create movies by thinking out of the box like Quentin Tarantino and especially Christopher Nolan.
