THIS IS THE VOICE OF ALL THE TRANSFORMERS FANS FROM THE FIRST SEQUEL. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN EXCITED EVERYTIME THE TRANSFORMERS IS OUT. TAKE THIS AS CRITICS NOT HATRED. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL BAY. AND FOR ALL THE FANBOYS WHO READ THIS, DON'T MAD. JUST SAYING WHAT I FEEL FROM MY HEART. I'M MAD, NOT HATE. (ps : excuse my english)
The fifth Transformers movie is out now. Well, i am not that excited anymore. Well i guest i am, with the pew pew, duar duar and boom boom. You know what i mean. But not with the storyline whatsoever.
Since the third one, i'm getting bored and mad that this franchise just about to show us how rich Michael Bay is and how good the digital visual animation editing of the movie today.
I had a few aspects to review about this movie. Here we go!
Visual. (8/10)
As i said before, Transformers has always been the best at showing CGI characters and all other CGI animation on some scene.
But, you know if you watched the movie yet, you probably noticed how the aspect ratio of the movie changes in several mode. Sometime it's 16:9 and then goes smaller to 1:2,14 (anamorpic look) and any other aspect ratio i didn't know about.
It is because the filming used 4 cameras with 2 different type of camera. Which is two of them was IMAX and the rest is normal digital filming camera. You'll find the same case in Christoper Nolan's movie, like Interstellar, but not that much disturbing since he's doing that for different type of mood. So it's fine.
But not in this case. On Transformers : The Last Knight you'll find it in almost random scene and mood. Which is i'll suggest to used it on different type of scene, like when its sad and more close up scene you need to make the black bar wider so they got the dramatic point. And when its action time, make the blackbars smaller so its get wider angle of the actions so we don't miss the action part. But the director itself was just mix it in one scene. One scene with 3 or more different aspect ratio. And that's really weird. And quite disturbing.
BUT,
If you're asking about how good the action scene and the CGI was, the answer is SPECTACULAR. Just like any other sci-fi movie. Hm.
Character. (5/10)
I don't know, i mean, i don't see the effort of the director, which is Michael Bay doing some improve from previous sequel to make the characters more have soul, than just throwing some awkward and lame jokes that we heard on theatre.
I don't feel like he's doing serious work on making dialog. Like i heard some "ganyambung" dialog that made to the final cut and that is horrible. Like the dialogue between human and the transformers, like you know, when the other say this thing, and the other one say that thing with different and unlogical tone and expression.
Cade Yeager, and any other human character on that movie is some kinda useless. There are no backstories and strong foundation why are those characters have to be in that movie.
Not just the human character, the transformers too i think it's too much to made up. Just like in the previous one, there's more racial stereotypes on the robot character and i think that was a.. what it is... How to say this in the right way... Hmmm... I just don't think is good. Just like another nonsense think i've ever seen in the serious movie.
Plot. (5/10)
Yea, basically Transformers : Last Knight is the same transformers from the first until the ford one. There is no continuity plot from before and its totally new plot just like we seen before. "Alien robot keep coming, because their planet is doomed, and then bringing the planet to earth so they can live again".
...
Bottomline.
Yeah, if you guys something like 'CGI visualization geek' you must see this movie. This movie is about how good Michael Bay making visualization. How their create an amazing visual and action scene. How good they are on making human and Supersized robot looklike fighting side-to-side. And that's amazing, i give you that.
And if you care more about storyline, characters development and continuity, i guess, this movie is not what you're looking for. That's what upsetting me. Its like they care more about what they get from this movie, not about what fans get about this movie. Come on, it's like our childhood favorite cartoon and then comes to life, right? I guess it's not overreacting if i said we deserve something more!
