Mr. Bay hats off to you.

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2009)

How to spend 200 million dollars in 2 ½ hour? Michael Bay knows better than others. This movie sets a bar on the technicality for future movies. I agree with the lack of plot and acting performance, but one should also remember that making the plot too intense would have forced Mr. Bay to divert his attention, time and money from the superb action sequences. This movie is like a good chick flick where you do not have to apply your brain except it has superb action sequences. So put your brain to rest for a while and just enjoy the human feat that has been achieved by the special effect guys. Hat's off to special effect guys. Before watching this movie, I was told that this movie is bad and I had the same perception, but it became thinner with the progress of the movie and I must say I enjoyed the entire movie. I have hard time watching a movie which is more than 2 hours long, but the storyline of this movie is fast and keeps you involved till its last frame. Movies like a transformer suffer from legacy problem, since they are derived from a cartoon series which have more than 50 episodes under their belt, and viewers have high expectations from it. Though these movies provides a great assistance in creating a plot, but at the same time also forces the director to give more importance to the theme, which in case of transformers is robots. Therefore I believe that expecting a plot like Batman or Lord of the rings will be injustice to this movie. This movie is lot better than Pirates of Caribbean (2 -3) and Spiderman (2-3). So it's a must see movie that too in a theater. One suggestion to the future viewers, do sit as far as possible from the screen, otherwise you will have hard time watching it because gigantic robotic action. It's worth the time and money I spent for the ticket.
