Transformers-Dark Side of the Moon - Movie Review

Source: http://j.mp/qatSX3

Disclaimer: I’ve watched previous 2 Transformers movies and my favourite is the first one.

The trailers for Transformers 3 have been playing for months and they raised expectations of a larger-than-life movie. So in preparation to watch the 3 movie in the Transformers series, I watched the first two. Needless to say I watched Transformers 3 in 3D (at the largest 3D screen in Europe at O2 Cineworld Sky Superscreen).

The movie is definitely lived up to the expectations of being larger than life. The high point for me was the integration of the US moon landing actual footage with the movie. It was a genius idea and brilliantly executed. I’m sure hard-core Transformers’ fans would have enjoyed the final fight between the autobots and decepticons; it was amazing but personally I felt it went on for a bit too long. In fact it reminded me of the final fight between Salman Khan and Sonu Sood in Dabbang, save for Optimus ripping off his “shirt”.

The actors (humans) did a great job through the frustration act of Shia LaBeouf got irritating after a while. The Witwicky parents were wasted and their matching outfits didn’t nothing for the viewers. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can’t act. She is only adds aesthetic value. However that is not enough as her character is a constant damsel in distress who keeps holding back Sam. Personally I preferred Megan Fox’s character, which was more gritty and always up to getting involved in the fights supporting Sam.

All in all, the movie is great especially for people who have followed the Transformers series. The storyline does get unbelievable at times and the fight at the end is stretched, however the awesomeness of the movie makes up for it and delivers great entertainment.
