Michael Bay directed this Action/Sci-Fi pic which stars: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Dunn, Julie White, John Benjamin Hickey, Ramon Rodriguez, Isabel Lucas, John Turturro. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material, and brief drug material. Running time is two hours and thirty minutes.
Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) again joins with the Autobots® against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons® accompanied by his girlfriend, Mikaela (Fox).
For me, the trouble with this film is summed up by the preceding paragraph. That is the plot. Period. If you want to watch Transformers fight other Transformers for 2½ hours with very little meaningful acting from real people...this is your film. The computer graphics are outstanding as is Megan Fox, but I can only watch so much of the same thing before getting bored, and that's what happened to me about 30 minutes into this movie. This film will do huge business, although I think it's attendance will plummet in a couple of weeks, because the teen crowd will not be bored. If you are planning on seeing it, do so in a theatre with a large screen and good sound. This isn't going to be pretty on a TV.
