Easily one of the worst movies of the summer, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has another chance to take revenge on us with its release October 20th on DVD and Blu-ray. Riding the success of the first Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen went on to become the biggest movie of the year so far, taking in more than $800 million worldwide.
The new 2-disc set includes commentary from director Michael Bay and writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and several documentary features on how it was made. There is also a "25 Years of Transformers" featurette, spotlighting 25 year since the original toys were introduced.
Rochester Sci-Fi Movie Examiner Mike DiGiorgio's original review (1 1/2 out of 5) can be found at moviejungle.com. An excerpt is below:
"It didn’t make a bit of sense to me, and with all the noise of machines fighting each other, I didn’t have time to figure it out. Looking back, that’s hard to believe since the movie runs to overkill length of nearly 2 ½ hours. The basic idea is that an evil robot called “The Fallen” has decided now is the time for his fellow evil Transformers – called “Decepticons” – to rise up and take over the planet. Why now? I don’t know. If they were living among us all along, what took ‘em so long?... When the mechanical arms start flying and the roar of machines blare through the speakers, I’ll be damned if I can figure out which one is the Autobot and which one is the Decepticon."













Comments
I might rent this just for the commentary, and laugh as Bay tries to justify the travesty on screen.
And of course for the gorgeous Megan Fox. ;)
