Transformers: Dark of the Moon

*Double post yay lol*

I watched this today in AVX and it was super amazingly aweomse! 

In the third movie of the series and possibly the last movie, we start off in 1961 where an aircraft from Cybertron, known as the Ark, is crash landing on the moon. Fast forward, the year is 1969 and the Apollo 11 lands on the moon in a secret mission to investigate the Ark. 

Now we go back to present day, and the Autobots are helping out the military to have peace on Earth and to live in peace with the human race. We continue to follow the life of Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), now that he's graduated college he's in Washington trying to find a job. We follow him through his interviews and how he doesn't like his girlfriend, Carly Spencer's boss. Now flash forward throug the movie some more, Optimus finds out that the Ark has been on the moon all these years and decides to make a trip to the moon to find the cargo that was inside the Ark when it crashed all those years ago. On the Ark they find Sentinel Prime*, Optimus brings him back to Earth and revives him. I don't want to give spoilers so I will just say that the rest of the story is pretty much how Sam and the Autobots try to save the planet from being taken over by Cybertron.

This movie was action-packed, the action scenes in these movies were crazy. There were explosions, buildings falling over, people disintegrating and lots more.  There were funny scenes, serious scenes, and there was even sad scenes. At one part I was almost close to tears. 

While I was watching the trailers and I found out that they had changed the actor for the female lead (from Megan Fox to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) I was a little upset. I liked Megan Fox's character in the first two movies and I wasn't too fond of Rosie. However, that changed after I watched the movie. I still do prefer Megan but Rosie did a really good job in her portrayal as Sam's girlfriend, Carly Spencer. So for anyone who was like me, watch the movie and give her a chance, she did a pretty good job. 

Now the movie is two and a half hours, its long but at the same time its good because it allows for them to go into detail and not skip over anything important. It goes into detail and it also talks about Cybertron and what had happen before the Ark landed. There were also a lot of slow-motion scenes while the Autobots are fighting the Decepticons. In this movie, it mainly revolves more around Optimus and Sentinel, there isn't as much Megatron was there was in the first two movies. So for any Megatron fans out there, you may be a little disappointed. 

This movie acts as a really good finale to the whole series and ties everything together and the ending makes it kind of hard to have a sequel to it which makes me believe that this is the finale to the Transformers movies. It's definitely a must watch, you won't regret sitting in the theater for two and a half hours.

Fun Fact: The robots in this movie are quite human, they bleed.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5 stars - absolutely amazing)

*Sentinel Prime was the creator of the pillars and before crash landing on the moon he was the leader of the Autobots. He was also Optimus' teacher.
