This is a good film, solid story with a plot. You can't beat the CGI.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2011)

The movie is extremely entertaining, and a visual masterpiece. Yes I said masterpiece. It does move the bar to the next level visually. So unless you are just another hater (Bay, Transformers, sci-fi, whatever) you will enjoy the film. It is long, but it goes by very fast. Although there are some points in the story that seem to drag a bit. It is not perfect by any means. It is not a film for the Hollywood film critics either. I am sure most of them hated it and the first two films as well.
But all that aside. The story is very well played out, a few twists, lots of action. All of the characters (human and alien robots) are accounted for, except for Meagan Fox of course but her replacement does a fine job. The new characters, Sentinel Prime, Shockwave, Lazerbeak and the Wreckers are all awesome. You can nit pick the small stuff, there are a few plot holes, the dialog is not always flowing with the story. But overall it was very enjoyable. Everyone in the cinema applauded at the end of the film, so if you are reading all the negative stuff, put that in to perspective. This film makes up for the second films missteps. This film stands on its own. The best part is that all of the action takes place in the daytime, you get to see all of the bits and pieces (literally, especially in 3D) of what makes this film so memorable. Go see it, you will not be disappointed.
