Transformers: Whatever The Hell The Rest Of The Title Is.

A number of errors led me to see this film today. The cinema's website claimed
that Looking For Eric was on at 2pm. This was the first error. When I got to
the cinema, I quickly bought a ticket from the machine, not noticing it was a
ticket for a Monday showing. That was the second error. The girl in the cinema
tore the ticket and sent me to the screen indicated without realising it was
the wrong day. That was the next error. When I got into the cinema, I was
presented with Hanna Montana: The Movie, so I left, and traded the ticket in
for a later showing of Transformers. This may also have been an error.

There's nothing to like about this movie. The humans in the movie are uniformly
badly written, badly acted and completely without redeeming interest. Whenever
something with pulse is on the screen, that moment is a waste of your time.

But so what, right? It's giant robot explodo movie. But I've got so many
issues with that aspect too. First, design. When we were kids, Transformers
were cooler if the robot in question looked like cool robots built out of cars
when they were robots. The robots in transformers have this appalling busy
design, they just don't look good, they look messy. Second, action. Michael Bay
seems to think that all he needs to do to make robot fights cool is to just
slap tons of motion blur on everything so you can't actually see what's going
on.

So, the whole thing is just a huge, inelegant mess from start to finish. A real
steaming turd of a movie.

3/10 - There's a few effects shots that are quite nice, but really, don't waste
your time.
