Transformers 3 *minor spoilers*
14 years ago
Just got back from seeing an advanced screening of Transformers: Dark of the Moon with a friend, and I must say I was pretty darn impressed.
To sum it up, I felt like it was District 9 merged with Cloverfield, smashed on top of Battle L.A. It was the most action packed alien movie I have seen in a Long Time.
Visually, the movie was beyond amazing. Probably the best spectacle I have ever seen. The movie obviously had a massive budget, and it showed in every scene. All the battles were crisp and exciting and gasp inducing. Even the non-action scenes were fabulous to look at. One scene with a beautiful car and a curvy woman comes to mind. The 3D was awesome throughout too. I feel like it was a step above previous stuff I've seen. Even in scenes without a lot of action, things were popping out and really immersive.
Possibly the thing I liked best about the visuals was how swept in I became. The decepticons really really looked like alien invaders in this movie. Their ships and other equipment gave me chills, and when it came down you really felt it. Plus, a lot of the battle takes place in Chicago, and let me tell you, they tore the place up. The street shots of their sets of destroyed Chicago were amazing. Plus the views of the skyscrapers after the fighting was a sight to see.
A few other things... I have always had a terrible recurring nightmare about being in a skyscraper that was... let's say... not so structurally sound. This movie has a scene that did my dream justice. It scared me half to death, and every second of it was amazing.
Also, I felt they did a pretty good job of incorporating the humans into the conflict. In the other movies I didn't feel the humans really did anything other than provide a backdrop for big robot battles. Here, they seemed a little more involved.
Finally, I'm not saying this was the greatest movie ever or anything. The story was admittedly better than the other movies, but it was still pretty simple. This movie still is and was always intended to be a gigantic summer action blockbuster. And in that effort, it succeeded. On the netflix rating scale, I really liked it!
