What a concept it was. Two rival factions of transforming robots crash land on Earth, and are re-awoken in 1984 to continue their epic struggle amongst a vastly inferior race. One side, the heroic Autobots, battles to save their homeworld from the evil Decepticons. Humans took a back seat in this war.

Seen by the Autobots as life that should be protected and by the Decepticons as insignificant obstacles, the characters that made Transformers so popular were the transformers themselves. Alas, Michael Bay's vision was obviously something quite different. After an outstanding exposition in which we meet the lead and supporting characters, the movie goes downhill. Full of plot holes that invalidate half the events of the movie, and stupid writing that just doesn't make sense, Transformers severely makes me doubt the abilities of its writers (then again, one of its writers did do Catwoman AND The Core - two more stupid movies). That's right! The better part of the movie is spent following the two factions as they race to find a map Megatron made to the 'Allspark'. Naturally, we later find out that the Allspark was moved by the humans AFTER the map was made, to a place specifically selected to prevent the transformers from finding it.

But does that stop them from using the now invalid map to find it? The map leads them right to it. So now the Allspark is found, but entrusted to Bumblebee. And what does a US special forces operative decide to do?

That's right - drive it into the middle of a large city, where hundreds, if not thousands of people can be killed in the inevitable battle between 20 foot tall transforming robots. A good story can be set in the present day, or in Shakespeare's time, or Ancient Rome, underwater or in space.

Your characters can be humans, farm animals or robots, and if it's a good story, little will be lost. So why did Bay find it necessary to give the transformers barely any lines or decent screen time?

And why were half their scenes just petty jokes (I refer to the far-too-long scene in which the transformers act like complete idiots as Witwicky searches for his Grandfather's glasses. It was funny for about 2 minutes. The other 30 minutes were just painful.)? I don't think I could ever run out of bad things to say about this movie. Seriously, don't see it - especially if you care about Transformers and have more than one brain cell.

Transformers is a very mixed bag. There are great things about it and there are some not-so-great things about it.

The good: - The visual effects. Perhaps the best special effects I've ever seen in a movie. The transformations are amazing not to mention super-awesome. The CGI fits in seamlessly with the live action and it's easy to forget how logistically difficult a lot of it would have been to film.

- The sound design. The sound effects complement the action perfectly making everything twice as exciting. Probably less acknowledged is the alien atmosphere created by some of the score which heightens the tension very effectively and probably without the majority of the audience noticing.

- Shia LeBeouf. Without him the movie wouldn't be nearly as engaging. He has natural comic timing and is probably second to none in expressing disbelief of the 'holy crap, there's a giant alien robot transforming in front of me' variety. - The humour. Transformers is funnier than most good comedies which I was not expecting in the least.

The transformers themselves are often funnier than they are impressive. - The Decepticons. Man are they cool. The opening scene is particularly kick-arse. The bad: - Megan Fox.

If hot means 'can't act and doesn't weigh much' then yes, she's very hot. It's not a good sign if you want one of the main characters to die or at least get out of the way and stop trying to act. Her performance just seemed very shallow and probably wasn't helped by her dialogue. - The script. Although the overall storyline is good, some of the dialogue is terrible.

Too much of the film is spent on mumbo jumbo technical explanations the audience just doesn't care about. The less serious parts of the script work very well though. - Michael Bay. Although some of the action scenes are very well put together and the humorous parts are timed very well, Bay can't help but ruin some of the scenes with unnecessarily flashy editing and over the top drama accompanied by none-too-subtle dramatic music. It's not that Michael Bay's style is too loud, it's that it's too cliched. Nothing new here (other than the alien sounding parts).

Practically rips of Batman Begins and is otherwise forgettable. The music should enhance the film by bringing out interesting themes or emotions, not force feeding us the drama we can plainly see on the screen in super slow motion. The ugly: - Megatron. And super cool.

So, my verdict? The good outweighs the bad pretty comfortably. If you took out the bad you might even have a classic on your hands. Instead you get revolutionary action scenes and some great comedy with Michael Bay's unique brand of mediocre directing sprinkled throughout. When the announcement came for a new Transformers movie for Summer, I was pretty excited. I wasn't a major Transformers fan, but I had fond memories of the cartoon and toys.

However, I hated the re-designed Transformers, thinking that these new designs were an overly busy cross between Lego's Bionicle toys and expressionist modern art sculptures. I also heard the script was poor, so I decided to skip this one. However, I started hearing movie reviews about what an amazing film this was. 'The greatest film of all time!' People proclaimed. So I came to terms with and accepted that these weren't the robots I grew up with, this was a 'new' version, and I'd at least find interest in robots transforming into cars and beating each other up.

I'd even go see this even though I don't like Michael Bay films. Transformers is a disgustingly bloated and self-indulgent piece of crap. I understand that I'll get rated down for my review, but I'm prepared to accept that. Sadly, my theater must not have gotten the euphoria inducing gas that apparently other theaters got, causing me to gush over this film like other people.

Even the 1986 Transformers film wasn't perfect. It was basically one fight scene after another, and was a means to replace the old toys for a new line, but the action was good, showed the consequences of war, and featured the death of a beloved character. It kept true to the mythos, even though it was different. This movie makes reference to so many other films that it feels like a mishmash of 30 films you've seen before. Bumblebee sends up an 'Autobat Symbol' to summon the other Autobots like Batman. There's a scene in an underground bunker which felt totally pulled from Terminator 3 (and a few scenes later, uses the exact drumbeat from the 'Terminator Theme'). The fight scenes with their out of focus cameras and 'shaky cam' style seems like they are trying to treat the battles as if they were 'Saving Private Ryan' caliber.

When Bumblebee gets captured during a scene, the music swells up so mournfully and overdramatically, that it makes the tragedies found in 'Schindler's List' seem modest. The biggest problem in character design lies in the fact that they all really do look alike. The worst offender was the Decepticon Frenzy, which looked like a 3D rendered pencil scribble, and acted like the Zuni Fetish Doll from 'Trilogy of Terror'. During the final battle, I was having problems telling who was who, and when the robots collided, it was hard to see where one began and the other ended.

The car forms were presented as blatant product showcases, ripped straight from a commercial. Then again, there was so much product placement in the film. EBay must have made a fortune. The slow set-up to the action or even any real glimpses of the title characters felt like 'The Hulk'.

I pay for a movie about transforming robots, that's what I want to see. Why would they keep a deadly robot under Hoover Dam, a major water source and tourist attraction? Why would they bring this 'All-Spark' out of the desert and into a heavily-populated city where property damage and civilian casualties could run their full course. The dialogue was painful, sounded like it was written for teenagers, by teenagers in a really bad fanfic like what they thought people would say.

What really irked me is how the Autobots couldn't seem to kill a Decepticon, but a lone soldier skidding on his back could dispatch one with a single shot. Why were the Autobots even there if the humans could do it better? How is it that they can save Bumblebee, but they can't repair Jazz?

What was the difference? The government/military/robot/anyone dialogue was totally unrealistic, with officials willing to 'bet their ridiculously high government paychecks' on hunches. Every line smacked on bad puns, cliches, or just sounded stupid. There was an extended conversation about masturbation between Sam and his parents that felt really awkward and extended far too long. The personalities were also way underdeveloped. Transformers has over two decades of history that wasn't touched upon.

The Starscream and Megatron rivalry, where Starscream tried to usurp Megatron for leadership was not mentioned or covered at all. Jazz was cool and fun-loving with a sense of style, while in the film he sounds like a ghetto thug. His first line is profanity, and I felt insulted. Not because of the language, but the fact that this was apparently the best the writers could do.

Decepticons were introduced and blown away within minutes. The Autobots weren't much better. Did the people who wrote the story know anything about the subject material besides the fact that robots changed to vehicles? And then Optimus Prime. Obviously, Bay's madness knew better than to totally ruin this character, as he was the only robot who looked even remotely familiar to any previous version. And the personality was fairly accurate.

Up to the backyard scene, where Prime's personality suddenly shifts, breaks character, and he becomes a clumsy comedian. The next scene, he shifts back into a 'leader' personality. The saving grace outside of Prime was Sam Witwicky (played by Shia LaBeouf), who brought a credible 'gee whiz' performance to the film, and yet I felt sorry for him using such ham-fisted dialogue. Summer 2007 has been really mediocre for 'blockbuster' films, as we're apparently supposed to lower our standards, 'sit back, not think and enjoy' with these types of films, but how is one supposed to do that with with film devoid of heart, personality or no focus on the main characters? As a stand-alone film, this is a really bad movie. As a Transformers-licensed film, it's a God awful embarrassment.

I'm avoiding the sequels unless they drastically overhaul the franchise and get a script not limited to high-school level online fanfic. I went to see an advance screening of 'Transformers' tonight, and I walked out of the theater in disbelief.

Not because the movie wasn't what I thought it would be, but on the contrary, it was so much more than I had ever expected. Going into the theater, I was expecting a corny kids movie with decent acting and a fantastic, unrealistic plot. Needless to say the plot was indeed fantastic and unrealistic, but it was all kept in check with solid acting and the most incredible display of visual effects that I have EVER seen. Most.actually almost all of the acting credit in this movie has to go to Shia LaBeouf, whom is quickly becoming a Hollywood star after recently giving an excellent performance in the thriller 'Disturbia'. It was another great performance from Shia in 'Transformers', with his clever wit still ever present. However, the most impressive aspect of 'Transformers' was most certainly the special effects.

The robot vs. Robot fight scenes were, in a word, remarkable.

I didn't know that modern day special effects could produce images so fantastic AND realistic, to the point where the robots didn't seem computer generated at all. The interaction between human and robot was beautiful and flawless. It seemed like the actors were actually interacting with real, 50 foot tall robots during the movie. 'Transformers' will, without a doubt, be the pioneer for future cinematic visual effects. The plot may have been a little unrealistic and some of the acting a little sketchy at times, but it does not in any way override what was truly an entertaining movie. The plot simply stayed true as best it could to the cartoon story without becoming overly ridiculous or corny. When I say unrealistic, that does not mean 'cartoon-corny'.

In fact, I would recommend that ANYONE over the age of 13 go to see this movie. I promise you won't be disappointed. This deafeningly loud, obnoxious, usually stagnant and glorified epic disaster of a film was presented with too many opportunities to be one of the all-time greatest summer flicks ever. However, despite the advancements in today's special effects, it being inspired from the highly popular 1980's Hasbro toys and cartoon, with Steven Spielberg overseeing the production as an Executive producer, Michael Bay and his writers were still guilty of making this a 'steaming pile.' I can effortlessly breakdown at every level why this film didn't work for me. The story was about a teenager name Sam (Shia LaBeouf) who purchases a car that happens to be a robot in disguise from another world.

Sam is then caught in the middle of an ancient battle between two groups of these alien robots, the heroic Autobots and the Evil Decepticons. Both are seeking a mysterious cube known as the 'Allspark' that contains their 'life source.' This central plot intertwines with the story of a special ops team being attacked by one of the Decepticons in the beginning, the pentagon enlisting teams of computer hackers to decode a signal they detected that ultimately came from the Decepticons and a hokey love story between Sam and Mikaela, the gorgeous bombshell in his class. As intriguing as all of this may sound, besides the many battle scenes, car chases, attempts on Sam's life and Decepticon attacks, nothing happens to move the story along. Whatever layers of stories that were suppose to be happening beneath the unimpressive action sequences were uneventful and slow.

So, all you're left with is the action, which by the end was boring and tedious to watch. The characters were flat and moronic. The humans were one-note, soulless caricatures. They were also more than capable of damaging the robots, which took away from the extraordinary antagonism the original cartoon presented for our human heroes. The humans were helpless against the Decepticons and this made the Autobots necessary.

In this absurd film, the humans didn't really need the Autobots to take out the Decepticons. And whatever happened to characters like Jorge 'Fig' Figueroa and Maggie?

They sort or left this film halfway to the end to join the film playing in the theater next door. Also, part of the cartoon's success was the personalities of the Transformers. They were emotional beings that were capable of treacherous, loyal, courageous, cowardice, morose and optimistic behavior. They weren't just giant piles of junk destroying an American metropolis. Whatever happened to the ongoing struggle for power over the Decepticons between Starscream and Megatron? This would've added some real complexity to this paper-thin story. Instead, Bay and the writers settled for hinting at it with a laughable one-liner from Megatron that rang falser than the action.

Wasn't Bumblebee the kindest, frailest of them all? He was essential for his undying compassion for the humans in the cartoons. Not in this film, where he obviously fought in many battles and, when annoyed, can urinate on a human being at any given time. Now going from the true character to the characterizations of the robots, the looks of the original were more engaging and attractive to the eye. In this film, they looked like metal scraps of junk. Then the films auteur had to take it there by making Jazz the Transformer with the Black-American soul, screaming, 'What up, b****es?'

Ironically, he was the only Autobot that easily gets killed as well. Now, a lesser minded person would pull the race card for this. I would just blame it on lazy, unimaginative, sloppy, hack writing and directing.

In the end, I couldn't care less about any of the characters, human or Transformer. The original Transformers could be chastised for wooden dialogue. However, when the characters weren't trying to be funny in this film, the dialogue was ten times worse than that of the cheesy words spoken in the cartoon.

It was absolutely ridiculous, with zero subtext. The quality of the dialogue was lessoned in scenes where exposition was inappropriately forced in, like the ineptly written scene when Agent Simmons (John Turturro) was questioning Sam and Mikael in the backseat of the SUV, revealing Mikaelas' weak back story. And how many times did Optimus Prime have to tell us his name? At one point, I thought he was forgetting the many times he said his name previously. Besides, the whole introducing-yourself-thing from the Transformers, especially the Decepticons, was extra cheddar cheesy to me: 'I am Megatron!'

The monologues underscored by the sappy music could've gotten the collective 'heave-hove' from this film as well. The special effects were cool but could've been better.

Most of the time, the Transformers looked animated instead of real in my opinion. And the confusing, unorthodox way they transformed, not to mention detailing that made them look like piles of scrap metal, revealed most of the flaws in the cartoon like computer generated images. As a director, I wouldn't be satisfied with the end result. The most entertaining thing about sitting through a screening of this film was the hordes of people that were going ballistic over it.

They laughed at anything and applauded for everything. From Bumblebee shattering all the glass in and around the car dealership to the Autobots skidding in unison on a U-Turn, these people thought every little thing deserved a standing ovation. Okay, maybe they were not standing. But it was all so laughable to me.

In my opinion, Bay, Spielberg and the writers massacred what could've been one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. The only thing amazing about this experience was my girl sleeping through most of it with me nodding off right along side her. Bay has proved himself to be one of the worst, overpaid film directors in the history of Hollywood.

Thanks to Paramount for providing us with this sample copy of the film to review! Transformers: The Last Knight hits Blu-Ray on September 26th, 2017, and we've got an advance copy to go over so you know what you're in for. We've gone with what's likely to be the most common release, the Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack. Let's take a look!

Packaging It's pretty straightforward. A cardstock slipcover with foil finish and image identical to inner package.

Very standard packaging for a major studio movie release on Blu-Ray. The interior has a slip with the Ultraviolet download code, but no other inserts or packaging. Bonus materials disc is on the left, movie discs stacked on the right. I don't particularly like disc-stacking like that in my packaging, but it's not too big a deal to me. Disc 1: Blu-Ray Special Features On the package this is Disc 2, but I'm going from left to right here. Bonus Disc Menu is very basic and easy to navigate. There's video running in the background, so it at least looks attractive.

This disc is all mini-documentaries about the film, including: Merging Mythologies: The Secret Transformers History - describes how TF5's script was created and how the history of the Transformers on Earth was developed. A full WWII movie and Arthurian movie were pitched, but ultimately folded into The Last Knight as the background for the film.

A set designer created a full, intricate family tree for the Order of the Witwiccans complete with back-story, which we only get glimpses of in the movie. There's a fair amount of interesting details to be seen. The rest of the documentary covers the intricacies of the initial Arthurian sequence, which more than doubled in size after Michael Bay watched a battle scene in Gladiator and decided he wanted more horses. Climbing the Ranks - Military Training - a documentary about the military's relationship with the Transformers movie franchise.

Michael Bay has a long relationship working with the US Military, and all Naval personnel you see in the film are authentic. Josh Duhamel and Santiago Cabrera also discuss their training regimen. The Royal Treatment - Transformers In The UK - Details the various shooting locations in the UK, including the Arthurian sequence and the car chase in London. The production was very happy to get locations that are usually not made available to film companies!

A lot of time is spent on the production's time in Stonehenge - a replica had to be built nearby for the pyrotechnics, which could not be used near the original, naturally. Or, to quote a person interviewed for the documentary, 'Hollywood isn't happy unless it's fake!'

Motors and Magic - The most interesting documentary on the disc is about the design process for the Transformers seen in the film, and how existing vehicles were modified for the new movie. Sport And Exercise Psychology A Canadian Perspective Ebooking. All the Autobots are covered, but the documentary only provides info on Megatron, Barricade, and Mohawk. No Nitro Zeus, Berserker, or Quintessa, let alone the Knights or Infernocus.

Install Twiki Xampp Windows. The Knights get some time in one of the other documentaries, but Nitro Zeus and Infernocus are nearly completely absent from the bonus materials. Alien Landscape: Cybertron - Ah, here's Quintessa!

The Cybertron scenes are discussed here. The reason that Cybertron looks more organic at the end of the film than you might expect is that the production decided that there needed to be some kind of soil holding together the hexagonal lattice seen in previous films.

Also to better facilitate the creation of live-action footage taken on location. One More Giant Effin' Movie - Is a montage of entertaining and funny moments from on set.

It's only a few minutes long and is pretty much worth the time it takes to watch it. My usual favorite special feature on such a disc is Deleted Scenes - and there are none here. I think one of the special releases may have some, but the general releases don't seem to.

Disc 2: Feature Film (Blu-Ray) The menus are more or less identical to the Special Features disc. The transfer is good, looking clear and bright and colorful on my 720p monitor - I have no doubt it'd look yet better on a 1080p display. Likewise, the sound is fine on my 2.0 speaker setup, and if you have a 5.1 Surround or Dolby Atmos setup, the Blu-Ray is ready for that as well. As for the movie itself, I'm here to review the set more than the content, honestly. But I may as well spare a few paragraphs to talk about the film itself.

It's still Transformers: The Last Knight. You knew whether or not you would like it before it came out, because it's just another live-action Transformers movie.

If you love this movie, you might want to just skip down to the 'Overall' section. What did I like? Cogman is legitimately funny.

Anthony Hopkins is too, and he manages to sell the latest rewrite of human/Transformer history to a greater degree than I'd have thought possible. Isabela Moner does a great job and she plays well with Mark Wahlberg. I wish she'd been in the middle part of the movie as well. The mechanical designs this time around are pretty solid. This is absolutely the best looking Megatron yet, and I'm happy Frank Welker has finally gotten to join Peter Cullen in claiming his classic role. It's probably the best movie in the series since the 2007 original.

It's less pointlessly, viscerally cruel to its robots than any of the other sequels. It's lightest on stereotypes. It's the sequel I would qualify as possessing the least character assassination of Optimus Prime. We now know that it's not just two incomplete movies awkwardly stapled together, but four: Arthurian Transformers, WWII Transformers, Wahlberg/Moner, Wahlberg/Haddock. Izzy and Sqweeks are introduced at the beginning of the movie and vanish for most of it, only to reappear at the end so she can rush into danger with everyone else, which is stupid. But turns out to be good, because the US Armed Forces, the TRF, and the Autobots cannot destroy a single turret - but Sqweeks can. The tradeoff to Prime's being less vicious is that he is absent for much of the film and very nearly reduced to a Pokemon named 'I Am Optimus Prime.'

People have painted and sculpted art with Transformers in it for centuries but somehow they have remained a secret. No soldier who served in World War II ever thought to mention all the robots either. Laura Haddock gives us a Big No as Optimus Prime is attacked by the Knights - why? He was evil the last time she saw him and they'd never met before!

Bumblebee's voice is heard for the second first time after last being first heard at the end of the first movie. Excalibur has the magical power to allow Mark Wahlberg to block a blow from a robot 20 times his size and probably 200 times his weight. (Incorrectly blocking a kick from another human being is a great way to break your arm.

Perhaps more apropos to this scene: there are historical accounts of people blocking an attack from a heavier weapon using their longsword and rendering their fingers wholly useless for life.) Despite this incredible, magical power, it is never used again. Hey, let's all laugh at Nerdy Science Guy rejecting nebulous, nonsense Robot Mysticism in place of real science! Ha ha, Nerdy Science Guy! Logic has no place here!oh wow, I just realized: they really did it. They included Nerdy Science Guy in the movie for no reason at all but to mock the idea of serious logical thought applied to a Transformers movie.

If you enjoy the movie I'm not saying you're wrong, certainly! It's a technical marvel as always, and there's definitely enjoyable parts, and more of them than we've seen for a couple movies now. But it's not for everyone; nothing really is. More to the point, if you think about any part of it logically in comparison to another part, or in comparison to previous Transformers movies, or other Transformers fiction, or reality, you're simply done for. If you're reached a point in your life when 'just turn your brain off' isn't something you can do when you consume media - or something you don't feel you should have to do to the degree that Transformers movies demand of you - just let this one go, watch some clips of Hopkins and Cogman when and where you can, and know that you're not alone.

Disc 3: Feature Film (DVD) As above but in 480p. Seems to be a fine transfer, though on my HD monitor it looks a bit less saturated than the Blu. I bet it looks just fine on a CRT television. Overall It's a pretty standard presentation for a big summer movie, as far as home video releases go. I've got no complaints, and anybody who wants a physical copy of The Last Knight in HD should be satisfied with this. If this release doesn't match your preferred format, Paramount is also readying versions for every currently active home media standard with 4K Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray being the ones that aren't represented in this set.
