There isn't a practical, real thing happening on screen. The action never features any destruction or threat to human life. This is a bland blockbuster movie, through and through. (They're bad.) But at least they had huge scale to them and the stakes were understood. Say what you will about Michael Bay's movies. But it isn't, aside from a handful of stylish shots. All this could be saved if the action were entertaining and investing. It treats us, the audience, like we're stupid as it spoon feeds every piece of information to us like we're infants, even though the story is really simple and nothing original or complex happens once. It's obnoxious, it's lazy, and it's stupid.
Everything in this movie is told to us, rather than creatively shown. I struggle to comprehend how a script like this passes so many hands and makes it to production it has some of the worst dialogue this side of Attack of the Clones. Aside from a few moments involving these things, I was bored senseless by this movie. I appreciated the fact that this film made Optimus Prime an actual character, and that it found a couple of interesting, believable ways to give the human characters a legitimate use in the story.
