Sentinel Betrayal

The movie was if you didnt think and didnt try to make sense of the trilogy as a whole.

Transformers 3 is the epitome of a Michael Bay movie in every regard...meaning it has a weak story with ok at best achttp://www.sabresjunkie.com/forum/pos ... t=6245ting and a fuck ton of explosions...the whole second half could have been called "How Michael Bay would destroy Chicago" and it would have fit just fine. The basic idea of the story was decent, theres a transformer ship on the darkside of the moon has a new weapon that acts like a teleporter and that Megatron (whos been turned from the Destroyer of Worlds to a little bitch who "just wants to be in charge") knows about. This is fine until you realize that if Megatron knew about this then why try to go through the trouble working with the Fallen and destroying our sun in the second one? especially if he already had an alliance with Sentinel Prime. He should have known how to open the vault and the Fallen should never have had to get involved. But in focusing back on this movie, why did Megatron need the Autobots to open the vault? Decpticon and Autobot technology cant be that different to where they couldnt figure it out. But beyond all that, nice idea...it just doesnt really work if you line it up with the second one.

Location wise they are 8 kinds of fucked up. Apparently Sam and girl are living in DC which is fine...except the building that they used for the chicks work place is the Milwaukee Art Museum located on Lake Michigan. This building is well known for its architecture and for having retractable wings on the sides. If Bay wanted to use a cool looking building then he should have found one located within driving distance of DC...

speaking of the chick, i almost burst out laughing when they showed her "working in the white house" or whatever it was she was doing. there is a fake Michael Bay "Dark Knight" script where Rachel Dawes is described as "having a huge rack. but wearing glasses so you know shes the smartest woman in the room." after seeing the new girl in glasses, and later having her be told that shes smart, i though that script might have some validity to it...

anyway...

Every human in the movie was pointless. From Sam to new girl (who is 1000x better then Megan Fox) to Patrick Demsey, John Malcovich, chinese guy from hangover, etc. if you took them all out then the movie was exactly the same. And yes, Sam is a douche through most of the movie.

again, Megatron is a little bitch...and Transformers can apparently survive just fine with 1 arm...

1. well it wasn't just one overarching plot and it wasn't intended to be.

2. it's a movie based on action figures. not braveheart.

3. if i was embarrassed and had half my face ripped off and was not able to defeat my greatest enemy, i'd take advantage of someone who could until i could step in too.

4. he couldn't open the matrix of leadership and he certainly couldn't have taken it from the fallen. then he couldn't have taken it from optimus. plus, had he immediately tried to bring cybertron here, he would have taken the chance of being sentinel's bitch, which wouldn't be high on megatrons priority list.

5. german and allied science was worlds different in WWII..there's no reason robotic sciences wouldn't be very different in a longer more advanced war.

6. seriously? who the fuck cares?

7. can't disagree, but she was working for the british consolate, so i don't know what the problem is. why would a movie made for guys have an average looking woman in it? like goddamn dark knight and maggie gyllenhall. gross.

8. yeah that's pretty true. but the movie really is about robots.

9. that part i didn't get, but i understand the frustration because i was in that boat...as far as being qualified and not getting a job for a while.

10. i mean...people live without one arm all the time, man. bumblebee lost his whole lower half in the first one and ratchet repaired him, sooo....

i'm most sad that ironhide is dead...WEAK
