What if Godzilla and a Transformer had a baby?
The Story:
In the future, a portal opens in the depths of the ocean, and giant monsters begin coming to Earth. So destructive, the world throws out their petty differences and works as one to create giant robots that 2 pilots will navigate into battle to defend the world against the marauding hordes. Ah, but the times are a changing, and the robots are being de-commissioned in favor of a protective wall.
But when the wall fails, can the remaining robots and pilots save the world before it's too late?
Easily the best movie of the Transformers franchise.
A shame that it had nothing to do with the Transformers franchise.
The fight scenes and special effects are great. The scenes, even those taking place at night in, around and underwater are all clear and laid out very well.
Transformers should take notes.
Idris Elba gives a great performance as the leader of the program.
Everything else though, it's just a long...really long... exercise that simply takes about 45 minutes too long to tell.
Pretty to look at, but nothing of substance.
Wait, was this a movie or a supermodel?
If that's how you like 'em, you'll love this one.
I was simply whelmed. Neither over, nor under.
Final Grade: C... maybe C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: My kids liked it more than I did. Like I said, nothing terrible, but nothing I'm going out of my way to watch again.
