Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ticketstubThe movie opens by explaining that the Autobots have partnered with an American military unit to form "NEST" and together, they seek out and destroy Decepticons wherever they are found. So that's nice.

Then things get stupid as we follow the daily drama of the Witwicky family and the completely incoherent relationship between Sam and Mikaela. Skipping that crap we next find Sam going autistic and possibly schizophrenic. Moving on... we see giant robots fucking up some shit. Finally, what we came here for! Actually, we got a dose of that in the opening, but now we're pushing through to the more "plot" driven fucking shit up stuff. I know, it's as weird to type that as it is to read it.

That's pretty much the extent of it. I will say, though, that I was rather impressed with the on-location work at the Udvar-Hazy National Air and Space Museum and this old relic in particular. Really, I just like location shots I recognize. So if it wasn't already clear, the movie was entertaining in that stuff blowed up real good. That's really all I care to remember.

3/5

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
