The Bay-splosions roll into cinemas today, with the launch of the latest Transformers flick, and I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the movie last night!
So, has Michael Bay redeemed himself after ‘Revenge Of The Fallen’?
Well, the answer is both yes, and no…
‘Dark of the Moon’ is a solid popcorn flick, and a great end to Bay’s ‘Transformers’ trilogy.
It’s nice to see Optimus become a real bad arse (the last 30 minutes of the film are EPIC), but the character of Sam has well and truly worn out his welcome. Hopefully in a few years once the reboot comes around, we’ll get some decent human characters for the Transformers to work with.
I will recommend though, after seeing this in 2D, and being generally AGAINST 3D in films, that the best way to see this movie would be at IMAX in 3D. It’s a visual spectacle, and one that deserves to be enjoyed properly. When it comes to the action, Bay has outdone himself, and set the bar for action movies to come.
Also, if you’re planning on taking young children to see the film, I would seriously think twice. The film get’s quite violent at times, with a lot of humans being caught in the crossfire, with some scenes that even I found confronting. So just beware that before taking your 5 year old to see it.
