Perfect, the best 3D movie I have ever seen, IMAX 3D is on another level and it has an atmos soundtrack too.

BOOM! BOOM! *takes Advil* BOOM!
Back in 2007 I, like most of those who went to see the first film in theaters, really enjoyed the original Transformers. I skipped out on the 2nd one two years later after hearing about the negative buzz around the film. Now I'm not one to pay too much attention to what critics say for the simple fact that I'll make up my own damn mind about a movie. But I wasn't even looking for TF2 reviews or stories and yet the negative buzz STILL made its way to me. From movie websites to podcasts, I can remember hearing and reading about how much an abomination the 2nd film was (and as the release date got closer the venom towards the movie grew and grew). When I finally got to seeing the first sequel on cable I couldn't believe the sh*t that I saw. There's just absolutely no defending that film. It's obnoxious (along w a majority of the cast), overwhelming and has some of the worst attempts at humor I've EVER seen. And no matter what anyone involved w that film says about how they were affected by the writer's strike, TF2 is the direct result of what happens when you give almost 95% control over to Michael Bay. I can bet you any amount of money that the worst jokes in this film were because of him. The guy has one of the most juvenile senses of humor I've ever seen put to film (and I have no problem w irreverent, childish, immature jokes but there IS a way to get away w it). Oh, and Shia LaBoofBoof's constant yelling and screaming doesn't help matters. TF2 was a sh*tfest. When part 3 came out I wanted to go and check it out solely for its use of 3D. While I fully expected to see another dumb movie w amazing visuals I was actually surprised at how fun the movie was. A marked improvement over the last one. By the time TF: AOE came out I had no desire to see it whatsoever. I was done w the TF movies and not even the inclusion of the Dinobots meant anything to me. But then I ended up seeing the movie recently and I gotta say: it's pretty good. At first I scratched my head at the inclusion of Mark Wahlberg in the film. Here's a guy who's had decent success carrying his own films (especially if they're released in January) and has had even better success when he's paired w other popular actors (or in the case of Ted a well liked creator of a much loved cartoon series) and now he's starring in the FOURTH film of a franchise...about fighting robots? But about 20mins into the movie I was already digging the vibe of the film (which believe it or not feels different enough at the beginning to get your hopes up high enough to think that this movie might actually be incredible) and I actually really appreciated Wahlberg being in it. His presence alone gave the movie some weight (no, he doesn't deliver an Oscar-worthy performance but he's good in it). After sitting through what felt like 9hrs (but was really close to 3), I was impressed. The movie worked for me. No, it's not a masterpiece and ultimately didn't end up being as incredible as my initial feelings led me to believe. But this is pure escapist fun. It won't work for most people (especially those who really are done w these films) but I quite enjoyed the movie. Unfortunately it still has a lot of corny Michael Bay humor but the man does know how to stage action sequences.

Good Action
Warning: SpoilersWhat I enjoyed about this movie is the action sequences. They have been exciting and fun to watch in all of the movies. It's giant robots fighting in HD, so it's hard to go wrong there.However, there are several things that could be improved upon. The first is what spoiled the movie for me the most, which is the unoriginal story. Why does there always have to be a damsel in distress in every transformers movie? Why is she constantly getting rescued, only to play a pivotal role in the very end where the good guys wouldn't win if she wasn't there? All four movies have been the same in this regard, there's a hot girl that likes the nerd, she is getting in trouble a lot but she has this independent attitude where she's going to do what she wants, and in the end she has a eureka moment that ends up saving the Earth. I'm tired of seeing this four times in a row now.Furthermore, I'm not very excited to see a cheesy, stereotypical love story in a movie about giant robots. Almost every romance in a movie has the same nuances (e.g., James Bond), and I'm tired of it. I'm sure the majority of the people that watch these movies get some subtle enjoyment out of watching the good guy get the girl, but I don't. I paid to watch giant robots fight each other, not to see a melodramatic romantic comedy embedded in every scene. I'm guessing that there has been a new female actress in every movie because they ask for twice as much as what they got last time, and they don't care so they just hire someone else.Third, while watching the Transformers movies I have always sat there wondering why they bother giving humans leading roles. Transformers should be about the transformers, they should be the main characters. They try so hard to give the humans any level of significance that it ends up being annoying. Having Marky Mark fend off Lockdown at the end with a sword-that-is-also-a-gun really made me want to stop watching. Lockdown goes around the Universe for centuries capturing the most wanted transformers, he nearly kills Optimus multiple times, and this human is actually winning a fight with him. Give me a break, I don't believe it. They did this in the other 3 movies too, somehow the main character is able to fight off transformers while everyone else is getting picked off left and right (except for the main character's friends, they are impossible to kill too).Fourth, they really seem to have stopped trying in some of the action sequences. In the scene where the ship they were flying in was shot down, it smashes into the Earth into a giant fireball and tumbles into multiple buildings, and at the end of it all the humans step out of the open cockpit just fine. How were they not killed in the collision? Or the giant fireball? And why were they not thrown from the open cockpit? It's like they said who cares, let's have a big crash scene right here.Fifth, I was really bothered by the blatant advertising throughout the movie. In one scene they crash into a Bud Light truck, and all of the bottles fly all over the ground. No bottles are smashed or anything, they must have not cared enough to make this part realistic. They end up panning over the bud light bottles for what feels like 5 seconds. For 5 seconds in this movie I'm staring at Bud Light bottles, and they thought this wouldn't be noticeable? Maybe they were forced to add it and they made the scene really crappy on purpose to spite their bosses? And at the end of the scene the hero pops one open and drinks it casually before throwing it on the ground. I wonder how much they paid for that scene. There also seems to be some Asian milk product in a juice box being advertised. I recognize it from the third movie--the milk the guy that gets pushed through a window was drinking. Well, they take 5 more seconds to show the inventor casually sitting in a chair drinking from the same juice box, literally nothing else is happening in the scene. They must be paying a lot for that cameo.My dream is to have a Transformers movie where there are no humans involved, at least not in anything more than a supporting role. I want to see transformers, I don't want to see terrible acting ruining every movie. I want to learn about the background of the transformers, I don't want a new story conjured up about the humans that is explained in depth in every single movie. Skip the boring first hour of the movie where they introduce the humans and replace it with us learning about the transformers. They just introduce these new transformers in every movie and we don't even learn their names! Why can't their personalities be explored? Why can't we get to know them on the same level as the human main characters? It is a missed opportunity. And if they do make the transformers the main characters, _please_ don't add in a transformer damsel and a love story to go along with it.So I give it 3/5, and I hope they try harder next time.
