Too much of everything
Such a frustrating disappointment
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Of course with the anticipated success of "Transformers" back in 2007, The Asylum had to sink their claws in and come up with their own poor man's version - as they do with so many other movies. "Transmorphers" wasn't the first of such 'mockbuster' movie to see the light of day from The Asylum, nor was it the last.The story here is that mankind found life on another planet 20 million light years away from Earth - sure - and sent a message of peace. Five years later we received their reply, and Earth was devastated and put into ruin, leaving mankind to live pitiful existences fearing the invading machines. It is up to a small group of soldiers to save mankind and save Earth.Right, just about every Sci-Fi cliché stuffed into one bad take here.This movie was just fundamentally bad on so many levels. First of all, the CGI effects were horrible, and I swore that my eyes were bleeding a couple of times throughout the ordeal that was "Transmorphers". The robots looked like something from a bad 1990's PC game. It was so fake and awkward to look at. And to top it off, this movie is making heavy use of flashing lights constantly, so if you have epilepsy then this movie should be avoided. Well, that is not actually the only reason for avoiding this movie.Moving on; secondly, the acting in the movie was just laughable. The people in the movie had everything working against them. The script was poorly constructed, the dialogue was wooden and embarrassing, and of course standing face to face with horrible CGI effects doesn't really help an actors motivation, I guess.Once the movie ends, if you manage to suffer through this painful experience, you are left with a very hollow sensation that you just wasted about an hour and a half on utter and complete rubbish.Every once in a while The Asylum manages to put something out there that is watchable and enjoyable, but "Transmorphers" is definitely not one such occurrence.Take heed and notice the low score on IMDb, let it be a guiding light and lead you away from this movie. If you hold your limited time in life precious, stay well clear of "Transmorphers".
...is how I would describe this film if movies like "Transformers," "The Terminator," and "The Matrix" were never made. However, since those films do exist, "Transmorphers" becomes nothing more that a Sci/Fi ripoff. Writer/Director Leigh Scott, apparently, believes that it is appropriate film making to take scenes from several different successful movies and put them all together in one script. Transmorphers, as a result, is nothing more than a Sci/Fi potpourri of the last two decades in Hollywoood. Scott seems to even get "inspiration" from movies like "Demolition Man" and Saturday morning cartoons like "Gobots."The acting is labored and one-dimensional. These actors/actresses have the range of a slingshot, which is not uncommon for a film by The Asylum. The dialogue is meaningless, pointless, and practically inaudible. The special effects are beyond terrible to the point of laughable. R2D2 and Johnny 5 are more menacing than these robots.Save your time...save your money...save your sanity...avoid this movie.
I get the strongest impression that not none of these actors were hired for their acting talent. Truth to tell, I've seen better acting in community theatre.The acting level here reminds me of a very old joke about an actress who was leaving Hollywood. She'd been offered a position as a department store mannequin. The one she was replacing was too emotional.And the writing reminds me of a comic strip that's almost as old as that joke: "Uncle Cosmo, why do they call it a Word Processor?" "It's really very simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food?" (2011-09-29)
This movie is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever seen. At no point in this pathetic farce of a movie was the director even close to anything that could be considered a film. Everyone that watched this movie is now dumber for having seen it. I award it one point, and may God have mercy on Leigh Scott's soul. Even if you like bad movies you wont like this one. It appears that some kids with $20 and dads video camera spliced together some bad footage of themselves with a few cut scenes from a video game. Bad bad really bad.In one scene an actress is blown up about 10 feet from her friend. Her boyfriend comes out and cries with her friend saying "This world dies with her" Then she pops out of nowhere unscathed, TA DA.
