Rise of the Fallen
“Rise of the Fallen”is a bombastic, loud movie with a thin plot based upon robots that transform from objects like cars, trucks, and airplanes, at war with each other and us humans, sort of, with something about a device that will snuff out our sun so that these robots can have an energy source. It’s got a lot of running, a lot of “Go! Go! Go!”ing, a lot of Megan Fox in skimpy outfits and perfect makeup, and a joke about robot scrotum. Pretty much it was almost the perfect, summer, action movie. The hell with the rest of the critics who bashed the movie, this critic had a blast.
Back on the big screen are Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, in their roles as Sam Witwicky and Mikaela from the “Transformer” movie a few years ago. Also back are Optimus Prime and the Autobots, now teaming up with a special unit of the United States Government, to protect us unsuspecting people from the destruction that is the Decepticons, and they’re doing a pretty good job until one mission goes a little haywire and the President is having second thoughts. Little does the Prez know that Fallen, a Decepticon of old, is ready to rise again and finally rid earth of its sun so that the robots can get a new energy source. But Fallen has a problem, namely that the secret to the hidden location of the device to capture the sun’s energy is residing in the mind of good-ol’ Sam, so now the big, bad robots have to find Sam, take his brain, and find the tools necessary to start the machine.
I’d have to say it’s really a nice movie and I like it very well.
