Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), bound for college, is exposed to a shard of the All Spark, a device that gives Transformer robots their life force. Now with the secrets of the Transformer’s history and technology embedded into his brain Sam is a wanted man by the evil Decepticons. Meanwhile, the good and moral Autobots must mount a counter attack to save Sam and planet Earth. And, who will survive when The Fallen (a Decepticon Transformer) returns to earth? A second attempt at a Transformers film by director Michael Bay; unfortunately, many of the same complaints critics had of the first film remain un-addressed; and, in many cases amplified. Stale plot and script, boring exposition, an on screen romance with serious lack of chemistry, racial stereotypes, and weak attempts at humor just begin the list. To the Bay’s credit, the action sequences were addressed much more effectively and given room to breathe. And, fans of Megan Fox will appreciate that every slow motion shot features her chest bouncing. Bottom line, America will probably flock to the film in droves, and if you’re one of the many, might I suggest you see this as a matinee? Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen is rated PG-13.
