FUN.... But overwhelming.

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2009)

In a nutshell, this was a great popcorn film, which is ultimately what it's meant to be. There are moments where you find yourself having a plethora of different emotions, probably because the cinematography makes it seem like its real. But there is SO much going on that it's almost too much stimuli for a single person to comprehend.
Too me, it was practically a rampage of destruction and cussing and sex and even more destruction. I can't even begin to imagine the combined damage costs caused by this movie, not to mention the damage to historic archaeological structures. And the loss of civilian and military life is staggering.
I recommend this movie, nonetheless, because of the complex lovable and hateful characters. I also recommend it because of the story, which, though slightly warped and jam-packed, will blow you away, because of the visual effects and finally because of what the film represents: the capacity of the human and non-biological extraterrestrial species to endure.
This will no doubt be one of the top blockbusters of Summer 2009, and one of those films you have to say you at least saw, whether you like or not. It's up to you to decide.
Autobots, roll out.
