It is amazing that a toy from the early 1980's can stir such a huge fan base at the movies some 30 year later.
But Transformers continues to thrill an audience that already loves this move before they walk in. And virtually nothing that happens in that movie could shake their love for this flick. Sometimes there are just "can't miss" movies made and this is one of them. It's the continuing saga of the Autobots and the Decepticons and their attempt to protect or take over Earth respectfully. After the complete disaster of T2, a film even the film makers apologized for, there is some pressure on this one.
T3 makes an all out effort to be a grown up film. A virtual who's who of Hollywood has lined up even for the most rudimentary of roles to be in this one. They have hardened up the language, and have up-ed the stakes for even more intense computer generated violence between the robots. This franchise is trying to grow with it's core audience. I'm not so sure it can effectively though. T3 may be pretty cool for the 30n year old dudes in the crowd who played (or play with the toys), but may be getting a bit too edgy and intense in many regards for very the very young.
The special effects are of course incredible, but to be fair they are no different or better than a few years ago when this franchise first started out. This movie also leads one to believe that the real life moon walk and Apollo program of the 1960' and 1970's was to go to the moon to investigate the Autobots space ship crash there in 1961. For the record. It wasn't.
This also may the most product placed movie I have ever seen. Virtually all of the advertisers imaginable are on display in this movie. Everything from NASCAR to FedEx and everything in between. See how many you can count up. NASA is also on display in this movie. An hour or so of it's logo, and at a time that there seems to be a slowing in space exploration interest, I'm sure NASA is thrilled to be aligned with such a bit of pop culture.
If you are going to this movie, you will more than likely love it. That's why you're going. But being fair, you've seen this before in it's execution. The story continues to develop but in it's film making, there really is no new ground here. Lot's of battles, lots of action. And checking in at 2:25. You will certainly get your moneys worth. Showing in 2-D and 3-D.
Transformers 3. Overall more intense, but overall more of the same.
