Michael Bay and the Transformers are back for another over the top thrill ride this summer, and with people slowly losing interest in the franchise should you even see Transformers 3?
Simply put: yes you should. The movie still has some quirky humor scenes that it could have gone without, and some people are gonna complain about the pacing but all in all I would say it was a great film.
The story is about the real reason why the space race of the 60s started, and of course it involved Trabsformers landing on the moon. We find out how the crashed ship ends up on the moon through an extremely well done opening sequence that shows beautifully rendered battles during the War For Cybertron. This story is probably the best out of the three and as the movie goes on there is some interesting plot twists that keep you entertained up until the big climax.
Now, I am a huge Transformers fanboy so needless to say I was excited for this movie and I was excited to see characters like Sentinel Prime ( Voiced by Leonard Nemoy) from the original cartoons show up in the movies finally. Lazerbeak is finally in the movie as well and Soundwave has a bigger role this time around so fans should be pleased with that. As well as the fact that Shockwave makes his movie debut, and boy let me tell you he has some scary scenes.
That's another thing this movie did well. It made the Decepticons seem scary. They aren't terrifying in the G1 cartoons but it has seemed like sense the first movie Bay has been trying to make them scary but has fallen short. With Dark of the Moon he pulls it off and it feels very satisfying. Along with the Decepticons being scary there is a lot of other emotional moments in the movie that will make any Transformers fan; whether it be of the movies, or the franchise in general; tense up.
Another high point of the movie is the hour long third act that steals the show. This is the first time that you will really feel like our world is being threatened by the Transformers Civil War, and just when you think its hit its high point another exciting/shocking moment happens and then another after that.
The Verdict: Go see this movie, I plan on seeing it a couple more times while its still in theaters. Bay really pulls out all the stops and the result is all the action, and robots in disguise that you wanted to see. Some of the humor is dull and annoying but other parts steal some cheap laughs. Either way it is nowhere as bad as Skidz and Mudflap were last time around. Also worth noting is the 3D. I haven't seen it used so well in a movie since Avatar. I was skeptical at first but the 3D really does add a little something to all the madness on screen and I recommend at least seeing it once in 3D and once 2D just to judge for yourself. I think this movie will please fans of the first two films, and longtime fans of the franchise as well. However, if you don't care for the Transformers then this film isn't going to change your mind
