Let's spend 190 million on CGI, 5 million on the rest

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2011)

I'm a huge sucker for seeing a full movie. I almost walked out of hobo with a shotgun (because my moral fibers disagreed with it) and I nearly walked out of this one cause I lost complete track of the story and all I could remember was a bunch of CGI robots destroying Chicago in 3-D.
Michael bay, next time you make a movie, please slow down enough to tell us what's going on. that's what's wrong with this one, along with the stupid clichés and mistakes. And another thing, I never saw the original transformers, but to hear the words "Transformers! More than meets the Eye" somewhere in the film would've made me smile.
On a positive note, The 3D Effects in this one are actually really good. In most modern flicks they're a joke, only showing little bits of 3D here and there, but in this one, objects were coming towards me a lot so i have no complaints about spending the extra 3 bucks for glasses. Also, as mentioned in the headnote, The special effects look like they had a majority of the budget spent on them.
If you're looking to satisfy your craving for transformers, stick to the TV show. it's on Teletoon Retro at certain times.
