This film is awful and I loved every second of it. This film is a great example of why good direction can save a dreadful screenplay because if I am honest the film feels as if it were written by a 5 year old but my god does the direction save this film and make it so enjoyable.
I have to address the four aspect ratios and how ridiculous it is, there is Imax full frame then their is a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and two different letterbox I noticed this in the trailer but assumed that it was just a mistake but nope. Its not like its specific scenes in different aspect ratios but varying shots, for example two characters could be talking in a simple shot reverse shot format and one character is letterboxed and the other is in the full Imax frame its simply silly yet I still had so much fun with this film because the action inside the frame is simply stunning.
It is hard for me to really talk about this film because most of you know what to expect from a Transformers film but in all honesty this is far from being the worst one in fact I would rate it just under Dark of the Moon. The plot is a mess though and it does not even get introduced until the 30 minute mark. Performances are the usual from a Transformers film with Anthony Hopkins being the standout because you know he is just having fun with it.
The sound design in these films continue to amaze and do set it apart from your standard blockbuster fair but other than that the score was forgettable and adds nothing to the film. This is a very short review because there is simultaneously nothing and everything to say about Transformers.
Overall I do recommend seeing it just because it is insane but the action is well done and you can clearly see money on screen but don't expect Citizen Kane.
