Now, we?re not saying there?s anything WRONG with twisted metal and 3D Bay-splosions? in fact, making a film in 3D seems to have slowed down Bay?s editing pace considerably. But if you were expecting maybe third times the charm for Bay and the Transformers source material, you?ll be just as disappointed by this one as all the others. There?s barely enough to recognize your favourite 80?s cartoon was the basis of this 2.5-hour romp, but after it leaves you exhausted at the credits, you?ll need to watch the original cartoon to remind yourself what the Ark was and that Shockwave has a broader vocabulary than a cockroach. ~Matt + Nat Less
