If your seeking a film with an impeccable story, great plot and progressive character development..... this is definitely NOT that sort of film. Then again if you aren't aware of Micheal Bay's reputation of an all action and special effects based style of direction than you probably don't go to the movies a whole lot. That being said it is in my opinion that this film is nothing short of brilliant. Micheal Bays days of shooting car advertisements have really paid off in these three films and in particular this last installment of the trilogy (Transformers: Dark of the moon). The film lives up to everything I expected, the special effects are amazing, the action is fantastic the Computer Generated Imagery is perfect and to even add onto that the 3D experience is just incredible. I actually think I appreciated the film a lot more watching it in 3D. Like in particular the scenes where Shockwave's pet mechanical leech rips through the commercial buildings and the deployment of the airborne military troops in particular are quite astounding. Though as much as the action was fantastic and nail biting at times. The story is pretty simple and predictable as you would expect. I don't care though, I don't need story for a bunch of robots, just as long as their motives justify their means to blow $%*# up, I'll be happy to watch it to see what happens.
So that being said do me a favor and grab an energy drink and head on down to your local cinema and buy a 3d ticket for transformers.Its one of the only 3D films out that will get you the experience you would be expecting and if your not to keen on an all action based film than its probably time to watch "The Departed" again
