Transformers Dark of the Moon

Melsy and I went to see Transformers Dark of the Moon on Sunday.

A thoroughly good ride was had. Plenty of outrageous destruction of entire cities by the "bad guys" Deceptacons. The "good guys" the AutoBots, of course save the day. The plot is very simple: Traitor AutoBot helps bad guy Deceptacons get new technology to move their space city to Earth so they can use our resources (the Greens won't like that!). Then of course they will have to wipe out the humans or make them slaves (for what purpose, it's not clear). Bad guys eventually get beaten but only after a lot of damage is done.

The movie's director apparently had a spat with Megan Fox and replaced her with some fluesy whose name I can't remember and can't be bothered Googling. Her acting was as bad as the colagen job on her upper lip. But the director didn't care, judging by the long panning foot to breast shots of her in 6" high heels and a postage stamp sized dress. Put it this way, she wasn't there for her acting skills.

Take away the basic plot, super poor acting and you have a dazzling display of hi-tech 3D action that is absolutely amazing.

Recommended if you like an action flick and you can leave reason at home.

Rating: B-
