Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)

Genre: Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi

Rating: Rated PG-13 for intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo.



Storyline: Tranformers Dark of the Moon started with a flashback to the 60's and the apollo 11 mission. Apparently the moon missions were started to investigate a mystery object crashing on the moon. The object was the Ark- a giant Cybertronian spaceship that crashed on the moon during the war between the Decepticons and the Autobots. It held the key to winning the war for the Autobots.

Astronauts discovering the Ark

 

A couple of the autobots go on a mission in Chernobyl where they discover a fuel cell from the Ark. Apparently, the Soviets found it and tried to use it, resulting in the Chernobyl explosion. They accidentally awaken Shockwave who tries to take the fuel cell. Luckily, Optimus Prime comes in and manages to get it back. 

Bumble Bee

The autobots learn that the Ark is on the moon from the U.S. government. They decide to go to the moon to find the Ark. They come back with Sentinel Prime and five pillars. Optimus explains to U.S. National Intelligence Director Charlotte Mearing that the pillars make a bridge between two points. It's basically a teleportation device. Optimus also revives Sentinel Prime with his matrix of leadership.


Sam Witwicky is frustrated that he isn't allowed to work with the Autobots. He is also jealous of the relationship between his girlfriend Carly Spence, and her boss Dylan Gould. He manages to get a job after trying to get one for a long time. At his job, he is contacted by his co-worker Jerry Wang who tells Sam about the Ark before getting killed by a Decepticon.

The Wreckers (subgroup of autobots)

Sam contacts the now-retired Seymour Simmons, and they figure out that the Decepticons are murdering people connected to the American and Russian space missions to the Ark. They meet two Russian cosmonauts who show them pictures of hundreds of pillars on the dark side of the moon. 


Sam realizes that the Decepticons went to the Ark long before the Autobot mission and intentionally left Sentinel and five Pillars behind to lure the Autobots into a trap. Sentinel was the key to activating the Pillars and the Decepticons couldn't revive him so they let Optimus Prime revive him. The Autobots rush to return Sentinel to their base for protection but Sentinel betrays them and kills Ironhide, revealing he had made a deal with the Decepticons. 

Sentinel Prime

Sentinel uses the Pillars to transport hundreds of concealed Decepticons from the moon to Earth. Carly is captured by Gould, who is revealed to work for the Decepticons. The Autobots are exiled from Earth at the demand of the Decepticons to avoid war. As their space ship leaves Earth, it's destroyed by Starscream,  killing the Autobots. 

The Decepticons, led by Megatron and Sentinel Prime, take over Chicago as their forces place Pillars around the world. Gould reveals to Carly that the Decepticons want to transport Cybertron to the Milky Way and use the resources and enslaved humans of Earth to rebuild their world. Sam teams up with Robert Epps to go into Chicago and save Carly, but they are nearly killed by Decepticon forces before the Autobots come and save them. They hid themselves in the booster rockets during the launch of their ship then disconnected and fell back into the Atlantic before Starscream could attack their ship. 

Topspin (One of the wreckers)

Together the Autobots and the humans manage to save Carly and kill the Decepticons.



Review: Tranformers Dark of the Moon is filled with amazing special effects. It has an amazing 40 minute long Chicago fight scene which was pretty epic. I thought the movie was really long (it was 157 minutes long). The ending was kind of rushed and it was hard to tell who was killing who because all the robots looked the same. It had a straight forward plot and the ending was predictable. I recommend watching this movie for the special effects.
