Jean: This may be the biggest blockbuster of the summer. If you have already seen Noah, Captain America, Godzilla, Amazing Spiderman, X-Men, Edge of Tomorrow and 22 Jump Street, this may beat them all. It is a tour de force of a movie. You know what you are going to get from Michael Bay but this may be his masterpiece. He starts by beginning with a new cast with Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia and a more current story line about government secret plans, etc. He also gives us some dazzling new looks at the robots with high definition details of the machines showing edges and shading on their plates and broader almost panoramic action views and well developed personalities. You will want to see more of Galvatron and Lockdown, for example.
From
a small beginning on a farm and an old crashed semi to Optimus Prime,
Bumble Bee and the all the others, it is a wild and crazy ride. If you
are into action/adventure and war of the machines, this is your movie
and 2 hours and 35 minutes of it . (It is a little too long.) The metal
on metal sounds adds to the realistic details you are shown of the
robots, even their full face expressions come through, including their
emotions. I did the 3 D choice and thought it amazing. Dad
P.S. The 3D for me was almost uncomfortable when you are flying between the valley walls in the beginning or walking on the cables between the space ship and super high-rise building over Chicago.
P.P.S. The previews were:
Hunger Games
Into the Storm
The Boxtrolls(3D)
Hercules(3D)
Guardians of the Galaxy(3D)
Dawn of Planet of the Apes(3D)
