yikes . this be definitely not the future my mother warn me about . this future be populate by cute kid and blood free death and supermodel with perfect teeth and goofball terminator that shoot themselves in the foot . it be set in a sun kiss michael bay desert landscape with high tech military equipment and not the dirty sewer we saw in t1 . either kyle reese be lay it on real thick to get in sarah connor pant and or mcg et al be simply incapable of deliver the dark and post apocalyptic future set that they keep harp on about honor before release . this be no doubt a casualty of the scarlet letter that be the pg 13 rating and oft deny by the production while they drop subtle hint along the way such a toy deal and pizza hut endorsement and mcg note how the pg 13 the dark knight be make without compromise . in reality the rating be a fait accompli the moment they green light a $ 200m production . the implication of the rating be not just sacrifice to language and blood and gore or in the inclusion of a sidekick kid to instill the family friend image . it bad . now the transformer audience be a major demographic for t and and it translate in the light hearted and gadgety nature of the movie and and obviously in it harvester design ( who deploy mototerminators from it kneecap ) . but quite honestly and massive mythology discrepancy aside and there be simply far too many wrist slashingly bad or expository line and heavy hand metaphor in the script for this to even work a a standalone movie ( thanks and haggis ) . to it credit and much of the action be kinetically capture in a timely shaky cam fashion . lord know i be no mcg fan ( he a snake oil salesman ) but i feel the major culprit truly be the script which spell everything out for the viewer with voiceovers and facepalm exposition . i be sorry the writer be not able to give mcg and at the very least and the kind of mindless action flick he be surely able to direct in a competent if forgettable manner . whereas act be concern christian bale show up for 35 40 minute look real angry at the world and at be involve in this project and it be in fact sam worthington who be a breakout star and and such an effortless tough guy that you can feel the bass reverberate in your body when he throw a punch . think of how hardass he could be in the right r rat set . i be get chill just think about it . everything else reek of an empty cash in sequel with neither knowledge nor respect for the source material and vaguely justify by tag on this isn not the future my mother warn me about . no and mcg and it most certainly be not . whatever . page could be spend arrive at the conclusion that this movie be and quite simply and abysmal . i be give it a negative base on yelchin and worthington and effort on the action side of thing .
