I am not a huge Transformers fan. I have seen a couple of the films, but missed the last Dark Side of the Moon. Unfortunately, it seems that this is really a sequel, as in "You just missed a huge backstory that we assume you know". Maybe the studios know what they are doing since happening on this movie opened a gap in my brain that now wants the rest of the story filled in. Do I really need to go back to watch previous installments? Probably... In this iteration, there is a human effort to destroy all transformers (autobots and decepticons and aliens) at the same time as they use the raw material from destroyed creatures to manufacture their own programmable robots (based in a poor decision on the brain structure of major bad guy Megatron). Some secret government and military dealings here, some naive corporate profit motives, and some ancient alien grudges all make for a series of transformer battles from Chicago to Hong Kong. I am going to put this in the "Excellent as a midnight to 2am viewing diversion" category.
