The W siblings (The Matrix) do it again with stunning art direction and special effects. However the constant in and out weaving of multiple story lines leaves you expecting a payoff at the end that does not come. Several glaring holes in the screenplay nag at you after leaving the theatre and mar the overall enjoyment. I was definitely engrossed, but would not say that it was on the level of other 3 hours moves like Dances With Wolves, Titanic, or Braveheart. Even their other tour de force The Matrix was shorter (at least movie #1). But I still recommend it.
Pros great actors
Cons too complex
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Whether they're saying it's a prequel or not, this movie is NOT of "Alien" caliber. Ridley is still a very deft director, and the 3D is fabulous. But the plot points and story line is full of holes, and it will not hold up to the perfection of Alien, and certainly on par with the brilliant screenplay that James Cameron wrote for Aliens. Charleze Theron, though a wonderful actress, and beautiful to look at, was a pointless character throughout.
Pros well paced
Cons bad screenplay
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Would be perfect if shorter

Mr. Bay pulls out all the exhillarating action shots you would expect from a director of his caliber. Where he misses the mark is indulging in too many superfulous scenes attempting to weave a love story and comedy bits into this 2 hour 30 minute flick. Would have been a perfect action vehicle had it run at exactly 2 hours. We really don't care if our hero and his girlfriend haven't said the words "I love you" yet, and the two new twin autobots get too much screen time with nothing invested in their characters. Jon Tuturro's screen time (over acted as usual) could have blissfully been reduced to half! Otherwise, lots of fun, worth seeing on the big screen vs. waiting for rental!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
