Robot Porn

The reason I watched Transformers III (The Dark of the Moon) is because (a) I've seen the first 2 installments; (b) I like robots;  and (c) I fell victim to Paramount Pictures' marketing. I was not expecting much if not for the conspiracy theory thing that I thought would be a big issue in the movie. It was not.



So the story goes, man indeed landed on the moon in 1961 discovering alien technology coming from Cybertron. This has the technology that could have changed the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. This technology was kept by Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's predecessor, who tried to escape with the technology. This is also wanted by the Decpticons, supposed to be. The rest would be spoilers.

The movie left me baffled in more ways than I could track, for example, why would Sam, the main character, have a problem finding a job? He may have been awful at job interviews, but who cares? He saved the world twice! I'd be a bigger asshole! Also, why did the Decepticons just do the activities in the third movie when they could have done it earlier? And has Optimus Prime always been emo?

There is a new leading lady, the foxy Rosie Huntington Whiteley, whose main role is to sex up the movie by always, I mean ALWAYS, wearing something sexy. Not that we're complaining. In the opening scene, we have the cameras passing through her legs and discovering her stripped down only with a loose shirt and panties. Oh, I take the earlier statement back, she plays an integral role in the movie. She saved the world by bruising Megatron's ego.

I kinda miss Megan Fox though. I wish Megan Fox would run away with Rosie.

I think compared to the first two, this is the the worst. When I wish the movie to end, I think that's a bad thing. There were parts in the movie that was boring. It was boring and unnecessarily long, I think.

Be assured though that there are plenty of robots. Many, many robots, all to your heart's content. My girlfriend thinks that the movie did not take its viewers seriously, and just provided what they wanted: Robots. She calls it "robot porn."

So if they decide to make another movie, I would probably watch it again, because we all love robots. Remember, thinking is optional.
