Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon [Watched]

I walked into the cinema, purchased my ticket and sat down and watched. Two and a half hours later, I stayed until the ending of the credits to see if there was going to be a hint to another Transformers movie. Long story short:

That movie was intense. In my opinion the best movie I have seen this summer so far. I salute Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, they did a smashing job.

The action scenes literally blew my mind. I liked how all the dialogue scenes where in the first 30 minutes of the movie and the two hours left was purely on the action and destruction of cars and buildings. It delivered.

"In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us. But the day will never come, that we forsake this planet, and its people." - Optimus Prime

The storyline was gripping straight from the beginning, the legendary Sentinel Prime being brought back to help the Autobots but betrays them and sides with Megatron to restore their lost planet Cybertron and enslave the human race. It was nicely constructed with various scene twists that I did not see coming. Also, with the CGI and special effects plus the human race nearing extinction, I can honestly say that when I left the cinema I was momentarily left speechless

"Years from now they're going to ask us: where were you when they took over the planet? We're gonna say: we stood by and watched." - Simmons

The slow motion movement in the action scenes were epic, seeing bits of metal being sliced from the Decepticons and Bumblebee's transformation to vehicle mode with a first person view shot was genius. It made me (and other people) believe that we were slap bang in the middle of the action. I'm not surprised that the movie made $994,715,769 worldwide. A truly great film.

Moving onto characters: Hugo Weaving is the man. I've said this since 'The Matrix'. He is always consistant and gives top notch performances (even though his voice was used, I still liked it). Peter Cullen who played Optimus Prime was equally as great. In fact, all the voice actors did an amazing job.

I've read a lot of criticisms of this film, one being that the acting from Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wasn't that great and that the length of the film was not needed. But overall the film was a huge success. That kind of money would get me a Camaro that can actually transform in real life... or a fully functioning metal suit that I can use to fight crime with..(hey, it's possible).

A nice ending to the Transformers trilogy.
I'm giving this film a first ever 5/5. You have to watch this film. I'm not saying anything else that may spoil the film for you.

More reviews coming real soon.

Until then, Enjoy Life.

End Transmission.
