I didn’t see Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3-D, yet it was still an amazing experience filling up my eyes and ears with scene after scene of explosions, collapsing buildings and those fabulous, wonderful transforming autobots.

The story begins in the Kennedy era when our race to the Moon was launched. Jump to the present where the Autobots learn there is a Cybertronian spaceship hidden on the Moon and race to check it out. I admit some of the details of the plot escaped me, perhaps qualifying me even more to give an opinion from the point of view of a child.

I did get the Decepticons, defeated in the last encounter, didn’t give up. Their goal is to take over Earth and use our energy to revitalize their planet so they can be back in business again.

At the same time, we agonize with our hero, Sam (LaBoeuf), as he, along with a million other recent college grads, tries desperately to find a job. There is some interplay with his parents and his gorgeous girlfriend, Carly (Huntington-Whitely). But the action belongs to a bad guy (remaining nameless to avoid spoiling the movie), the autobots and the Decepticons.

The movie has several plot twists, some humor and those amazing computer effects to stun and amaze you. There is a ton of violence, though no human blood, some bad language and no sex although it is clear that Carly and Sam are living together unmarried. Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a fun movie to see with your child 11 and up who can keep up with the plot.

"The movie was awesome! Great storyline and thrilling action scenes!" - Lourdes

"Just saw the new (2011)Transformers movie and it hasn't lost it's touch. The movie ran about 2hrs & 30 mins. No boring parts. No parts that dragged on or anything. Nothing but action & great graphics like the other Transformers movies. Loved it!" - Cynthia
