Michael Bay has created a romping, mind-bending film that makes you question reality:
So, to sum up: Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema, if not the greatest. You could easily argue that cinema, as an artform, has all been leading up to this. It will destabilize your limbic system, probably forever, and make you doubt the solidity of your surroundings. Generations of auteurs have struggled, in vain, to create a cinematic experience as overwhelming, and as liberating, as ROTF.
Charlie Anders at io9 is brilliant, and no, Transformer: ROTF isn’t really a good film — it’s awful actually.
