Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D
The Autobots Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons in the third Transformers... in 3D.
The two enemies become involved in a perilous space race between the US and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has a part to play. The last 45 minutes is director Michael Bay's piece de resistance: a massive action set-piece in which the Decepticons attempt to destroy Chicago.
New characters include the villainous Shockwave, a longtime Transformers character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.

Reviews & comments
Transfor this mess!
Wow! I've seen every Michael Bay movie. From the fun of THE ROCK and ARMAGEDDON to the overreaching of PEARL HARBOUR and BAD BOYS 2... Hell, I even sat through the excretia that was TRANSFORMERS 2 - but this?? Just a huge headache - what a sorry mess. One star for the worst actress EVER on screen! She made Megan Fox look like Meryl Streep. Excellent 3D...
Who cares if Shia's character lucked out twice
The best way of describing this movie is like an X BOX game. Where you control the character and annying decide to waste time, where you should be going to the "drop off", or the next point in the game but instead you decide to waste several hours of your time "exploring" around town, where less exciting things are happening. Be...
A bit disappointed
I don't usually listen to film critics, preferring to read what other people thought of the film before deciding going. In this case I would have to agree with the critics. Half way into the movie if found myself trying to stay awake, surely the people who spent the millions it takes to make this movie could have added some form of a story instead of just...
A Good Close For Bay's Vision Of Transformers
The Transformers films (excluding the original animated feature), a franchise that many thought could never come to the silver screen, has graced it twice now thanks to action (see: EXPLOSIVES) extraordinaire director Michael Bay. These 2 films have been commercially successful, and while the first was a great introduction to audiences, especially...

pressA largely linear plot and some ingenious appropriation of 20th century history helps T3 correct most of T2’s deficiencies without really matching T1’s superior entertainment value and element of surprise.

pressNothing you see makes any sense at all, but the sensations are undeniable, and kind of fun in their vertiginous, supercaffeinated way.

pressA visually ugly film with an incoherent plot, wooden characters and inane dialog. It provided me with one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had at the movies.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe millions of man hours put into producing this techno shock and awe must be staggering. Everyone got his job done, but somewhere along the way, the movie got lost.
Empire Magazine
pressAn improvement on Transformers 2, but then what isn't? To paraphrase the Bard, it's a tale, full of sound and fury and extremely stupid dialogue and nonsensical plotting and preposterous stunts and robots punching each other's heads off, signifying nothing.
Dominion Post
pressI think it's accepted wisdom now that the first of the Transformers films was a surprise
