Probably the biggest movie of the 2009 summer movie season. This followup is an over-the-top action movie sure to wow you with its special effects and stunts. The movie picks up a few years after the end of the previous movie. Sam and Micheala are dating. Humans and Autobots have banded together to fight the Decepticons. During one of these battles, the Autobots discover a plan by a defeated Decepticon to revive someone called the Fallen. It is discovered that our two races have encountered each other before. During one of the encounters, the character known as the Fallen, has fallen out of grace with his bretheren. He vows revenge with the assistance of Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, and a cadre of Decepticons
The movie basically goes from one action sequence to the next with some little fiddly parts in the middle. The scope is very large with the Autobots and Decepticons battling it out amongst the backdrop of desserts, forests, and cityscapes. After a while, the battle scenes become a big blur of action. Unnecessary shakey camera scenes. Bloated slow motion segments. The meticulous detail of the robots make it hard to differentiate who is who when they are tumbling around in the sand.
There is a sprinkling of humour throughout the movie. Some of the funnier characters were Wheelie, Mudflap, and Skids. Bumble Bee gets a few chuckles too. The film would have benefitted from more humour. Nonetheless, it is one of those turn your brain off and enjoy the ride kind of flicks.
This is something worth seeing on the big screen. Maybe Imax would be too big. What else is there to say? Megan Fox, `nuff said.
I would pay full price to see it the first time.
