This was the best-looking bad film I've seen all year. Taking a whooping 134 terabytes of data to produce (roughly the same amount as 333,000,000 songs), the robots themselves were a marvel to behold. If the visuals are the polish, then it is the plot that is the underlying turd - the movie falls victim to a sin usually reserved for horror films - perpetual protagonistic problems of decision. I.e. The main guy always chooses an illogical course of action to further the plot, at the expense of the audiences sanity. Beyond this, it seems that the team have no idea how the transformers would realistically fight, with powerful transformers disappearing from segments of the battle (can anyone please tell me what happens to the twins?) Speaking of siblings, it came to my attention that I wished Sam and his girlfriend were brother and sister, so that the ridiculously tacky love story between the two could either be a) interesting or b) removed.
Summary? Great pyrotechnics, humour and likeable characters are let down by poor plotting from the oft.
