‘Transformers’
There are so many big movies coming out this summer and it’s getting hard to keep track of them all. But no one can go through the summer without catching the new “Transformers” movie. For those who have seen the trailer for the movie know that it looks like a true action packed film that must be seen by everyone(especially fans of the ‘Transformers’ series).
“Transformers” did a great job with all of the CGI that was put into the movie. Making the giant transforming, alien robots come alive on the big screen is a challenge for anyone and Director Michael Bay did a wonderful job of pulling it off. This and the ever increasing fame of Shia LaBeouf is what pulled together the movie.
Michel Bay has a reputation of making story lines that have many holes and questions on how things were done. Every answer is supposed to be answered, but in the movie it sometimes leaves you wondering how they were able to do certain things. But everyone can look past all that and see the movie for the action packed thriller that it is.
They’ll likely also forgive the story line’s simplicity and clunkiness. Characters are established, then disappear in the blink of an eye. The action can be so frenetic that it’s sometimes hard to discern which is the good ‘bot and which is the bad.
There’s plenty here that rings the usual action-film notes. Josh Duhamel is the fighting solider and caring new father who gets to perform a long attack-a-’bot body slide that’s almost worthy of Legolas in “Lord of the Rings.” Megan Fox (of TV’s “Hope and Faith”) gets to play a grease-monkey, take-action girl. But there’s also Shia LaBeouf. As in his earlier, successful “Disturbia,” he takes marginal material, turns on the personality, becomes the kind of kid who’s half-dweeb, half-hero and, with his newfound robot pals, pretty much saves the whole darned movie.
