Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a pure entertainment movie with a very gripping story line having lots of twists and turns. Two or three times you will feel that this is the climax and now what remains is the anticlimax, but not long after you will start feeling the building up to another greater climax. It is this build up which is the most impressive part of the movie. It keeps the audience gripped to their seats for the complete 157 minutes i.e. two and a half hours. A long time to sit on one chair with just one break, but it is the craftiness of the story line by virtue of which you enjoy that chair and don’t want to leave it even when the movie is over.
Highlights:
Story line/Plot: Too good, it is much better than the last part. A few new characters have been introduced and each and every one of them plays a very crucial role in thickening the plot.
Sound Mixing: As always, the sound mixing was brilliant again. Thanks to lot of action sequences there was ample amount work in that department’s plate, which they performed quite nicely.
Background Score: It was good but could have been better as a few tunes during the action sequences were not very impressive. But then a person starts to wonder just how many tunes can be composed. And if some are not up to the mark, I think we should still give the department some credit.
Lowlights:
Performances: Here I am talking about the humans and not the Transformers. The transformers did a great job but their human counterparts (heroes, as well as villains) were not up to the same standard.
3D effects: This was disappointing, considering how many animated actions scenes were there which could have been made breath taking just by adding some special effects, but that touch was missing. The beginning witnessed some nice effects but they were lost pretty soon.
Overall it is a very entertaining movie and there is not much for the critics to criticize either. I rate it as follows:
Entertainment rating: 4.5
Critics rating: 3.5
