briremo Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I'd read a few bad reviews on this and after the last movie, which I classify as horrible and ponderous, I really dreaded going to this film. But alas, two teenage boys control my wallet. I'm not going to get into a big dissertation on the plot lines, you can read that by people paid to type, but I will tell you that the movie provides a good share of funny moments and double dose of serious eye-candy in the way of epic action sequences and super hot blonde babes strutting in underwear, the light dancing on her little blonde hairs, her tight panties...oops. got a little distracted there.... Anyway, My wife, two boys and I pretty much agreed we enjoyed it more than either of the other Txfr films. A couple of the sequences are ridiculous of course and you must let your imagination stretch, but over all a good film that has some insanely detailed enourmous effects. BTW, there were some pretty suggestive lines that I felt had no place in a movie written for an 8 yr old. It went right by me, but the wife thought it was inappropriate. Go see it. Fun. Worth the money in 3D even.
USB Connector Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Thanks for the heads up. When I heard the Leonard Nimoy was lending his voice for a key role I wanted to see it but I've been debating because of how horrible the last one was (it was the first time I ever got dozed through parts of a movie).

Presto-digitation Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I've passed both of the first two times, so I will again now as well. Not my kind of thing.
An Enemy Without Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 It was... okay. I guess. The plot sucked pretty hard but they made up for it in the first scene. Also, it was waaaaay too long. Like, way too long.

That isn't a "plot" movie...purely for testosterone fueled entertainment purposes. Kind of like a porn flick... Edited July 16, 2011 by Khan

USB Connector Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I saw it last night. The movie was clearly meant to be a mindless action flick. Nimoy plays his role well with quite a few Trek references thrown in for laughs. It was a good mindless summer flick but IMO there wasn't enough humor to compensate for lack of plot and the last action scene was half an hour too long. 3.5/5

I thought the constant CGI violence was the equivalent of endless explosive diarrhea caught on film.
