Michael Bay has a reputation for making movies with overly elaborate effects and nonstop, mindless action. You have to ask yourself, is that really a bad thing?
Sam Witwicky is on another adventure with a familiar group of allies. This time he is off to college, leaving his girlfriend Mikaela Banes at home. Just before he leaves, he discovers something that will yet again change his plans and take him to somewhere he had never imagined.
The Decepticons are all around the globe, but seem to be looking for something. They are looking for something that Sam has. In his mind lies the power of the Cube. The Fallen, the first Decepticon, wants the information in order to destroy mankind and sees only one foe in his way; Optimus Prime.
Director Michael Bay, with the help of executive producer Steven Speilberg, takes viewers on a journey that travels along every road of emotion. Right from the beginning, explosions and sparks and robots fill the screen.
What really sets the Transformers movies apart from other action movies is the camera work. Like before, Revenge of the Fallen utilizes long shots so that the viewer can see everything that is happening clearly. From far away, it really looks as if the Autobots are there in China. If there were a way to show people from fifty years ago that were making movies this kind of film, they would just believe that it was real.
Robots are everywhere in this movie. Autobots and Decepticons alike, are all over the place all throughout the movie. What was really cool was that there were more scenes of just Transformers on screen. While the first movie focused much more on Sam, played by Shia LaBeouf, this movie works harder on Transformer to Transformer dialogue and story.
If you don't know anything about the cartoon or the comic books, again you will be alright. The writing and direction do a fantastic job of making this movie for everyone. All of the little details are there for the fans and all of the information is there for everyone else.
It pushes its rating. A PG-13 a close one for the sequel. With more language and more hints for an adult crowd, this is sure to upset at least a few uptight parents that neglect ratings.
All in all, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is great. It is a great way to keep the series going and keep it interesting all of the way through.
Go see it.
"We are the fallen and hated"
