Cybertron Lives On

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2011)

In this epic conclusion to the Transformers trilogy, Earth's final stand against the Decepticons is about to begin. Starting off with a fast-paced war scene on Cybertron, then switching to the 1960's when man finally lands on the Moon, only to have a secret agenda of their own, hidden from the world; to investigate an alien ship that crash-landed. With mind-blowing CGI, good to descent acting, good story, and intense action sequences, Transformers: Dark of the Moon proves itself to be the best of the trilogy. The friendship with Sam and Bumblebee is really emotional as they are on the brink of destruction and even greater tensions arise as Sam is told by Mearing, the new head of the Autobots operation, he is no hero and will not be needed in their fight. Lennox and Epps return as Sam's friends and contacts in the military, only to become more distraught over the years as the fight between Decepticons and Autobots begins to take its toll on them.
Dark of the Moon really shows that after a disastrous sequel, a third installment can correct the mistakes that were made previously, except this did more than that; Dark of the Moon beats both of the first 2 movies put together, having the first film's in-depth story and characters, and the second film's incredibly intense action sequences. So, overall, Dark of the Moon deserves praise for its true effort to become something great.
9/10 Stars***
