Transformers: Dark of the Moon. No, we're not talking tranny asses.

From A.O. Scott:

“Dark of the Moon” is one of the few recent 3-D movies that justify the upcharge. Mr. Bay clearly enjoys playing with the format, which is also to say that he takes it seriously. A lot of glass and metal comes flying at your head, and you feel surrounded, plunged into a universe governed by new and strange laws of physics. Nothing you see makes any sense at all, but the sensations are undeniable, and kind of fun in their vertiginous, supercaffeinated way.

 

I saw "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" in 3-D IMAX and what a ride. Wouldn't bother seeing this film any other way. OK, I thought (like most critics) "Revenge of the Fallen" sucked but, still, if you're a fan of special effects, the Michael Bay/Transformer franchise is a spectacle unlike any other.

 

A.O.Scott, one of the few film critics I read, did wet my appetite with his interesting-read review of "Dark Moon:"

 

"And a girl, on hand to be rescued, fought over and filmed from behind at a low angle as further testimony to the aesthetic power of 3-D. The previous girl, Megan Fox, was fired because of her mouth, and this one, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, has been hired for the same reason. (Why aren’t there any female Autobots or Decepticons? Is that a dumb question?) The robots and cars are soulful, but her character is purely mechanical, a token of reassurance for viewers reveling in a spectacle of cosmic, brutal, heavy-metal homoeroticism. As I said before: I’m not judging, just describing."

The movie makes little sense, is an hour too long, and provides sticky-floor ambience not seen since the height of porn movie houses of the 70's but, in 3-D IMAX, the visual roller-coaster ride with decibels threatening to make you wish you would go deaf already, make me wish I knew what playing with these toys must have felt like as a kid. Those kids REALLY love this franchise and I totally get why. This movie, as dumb as it is, seriously kicks some ass in 3-D IMAX.
