“Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon” is yet another eye-candy for those who love to indulge in Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg’s heavy metal visuals and sound effects.
People say, third time the charm. This third sequel of “Transformers” continued the battle between Autobots and Decepticons with much conflict, cruel fights and a sexy girlfriend.
Since the Decepticons decided to take over planet Earth as a mean to rebuild their Cybertron (an alienated planet where the transformers were once ‘gods’ over there), the human race now play an important role in the middle of this robotic battle field.
Yet, the two-and-a-half-hour story plot of “Transformers 3” isn’t as compelling as its previous masters.
Audience is brought to their conscience that human (in fact, even Autobots) can betray their own packs in the name of “freeing the race.”
The role of Fox is dropped and replaced with Sam Witwicky’s (as played by Shia LaBeuof) new love interest, played by English model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She did try hard to appear as seducing as, if not sexier than, Megan Fox.
It was interesting, though, that the landing on the moon historic incident was incorporated into the storyline, even making it a part of the title of the series.
Besides, sports cars lovers shall also expect even more advanced cars in this sequel, like the hot red Ferrari 458 Italia and a not-so-shabby blue Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

As Michael Bay tries to blow things up, the scenes where the Autobots and Deceptions battled – with those sky-scrappers collapsing left and right – were worth the ticket to simply enjoy the defined details and extraordinary audios in the theatre. Let’s just say audience should look forward to the Blu-ray version of “Transformers 3.”
The thin, indifferent scripts of “Transformers 3” come to a conclusion when the Autobots finally kicked the ass of Deceptions, and stopped the invasion of Cybertron to planet Earth.
One good value that audience can take away from the movie is that one should never give up or turn their back on their own race.
As portrayed by both the playboy accountant Dylan Gould (as played by Patrick Dempsey) and the ancient Autobot Sentinel Prime, betrayers never ended up staying alive. Hence, teaching us to stay loyal and faithful to our own pack.
Overall, “Transformer 3” is, need not to say, a great production to pleasure the sensory organs but may not be as successful when it comes to its feeble scripts and plotting.
