"Humans can't stop us anymore."
In the film, a line of the "Decepticons" Decepticons is not only domineering and exposed, it poses the greatest threat to Autobots in history, but also indirectly speaks of this "explosion" The essence of "Madman" Michael Bay's work. Indeed, from the perspective of the movie itself, "Transformers 3", with its strong production team, the huge appeal of the finale, and the "King Kong" complex of the post-80s generation, is a sure thing that the box office is bursting, and humans are eager to see a group of foreigners. Star people fighting on the screen is like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, willing to pay to enjoy this exciting meal but many flaws. Therefore, the people on earth can no longer stop Michael Bay.
Let's look back at the past: In 2007, "the hottest hero" first appeared on the screen. The first part of "Transformers" successfully integrates special effects, actions, and funny entertainment elements. It can be described as a master of commercial films. The almost real special effects and imaginative action scenes instantly shocked the world, and made many people regain their childhood memories. No one knows how many tears and emotions Optimus Prime’s 360-degree surround transformation lens earned. Then it became a classic moment of a commercial blockbuster. In 2009, "Transformers 2" made a comeback. This "the ultimate commercial film" was filmed across many countries at the expense of huge amounts of money, which shows the great ambition. From the point of view of the action scenes, it is enough to be regarded as a landmark work with the largest movie history scene scheduling and the most exciting use of special effects so far. However, the tragedy of the plot also began to appear from this time. The boring entanglement between a large number of humans has destroyed the sense of rhythm. The film has become less one-stop, but a bit procrastinated. This is because of the visual effects of Michael Bay. Fate to escape. But in any case, Hollywood's ability to make dreams is still good. When those virtual characters are so vivid and nearly real in front of your eyes, all you have to do is to realize your dreams in time through this movie. Just because: dreams never stop. In 2011, "The End" and "Transformers 3" returned to the screen under the escort of the "new weapon" IMAX and 3D. But the last one is no longer a pure dream, but becomes utilitarian and secular, just like a grown-up child. Obviously, Michael Bay did not learn the lessons of his previous work. He is still on the commercial road of "special effects and less plot", allowing the audience to be addicted to the drama. After the film party has made enough money, when he looks back, he finds that the movie has lost all about " "Transformers" moved. Although the roaring sky is still in my ears and the explosion of fire is still vivid, the classics can never be reproduced.
Thus, the biennial commercial giant system constitutes the current trilogy. For Michael Bay, success is also a special effect, and failure is also a special effect. Even if he can win the box office and fans' applause, the technology and special effects have reached the limit of the film industry, but they cannot hide the weakness of the plot and the weakness of breakthroughs.
From the opening time back to 1969, when the "Apollo 11" successfully landed on the moon, the "end" of this trilogy showed great ambitions-rewriting history, changing course, piling up special effects, and finally making it become A super jumbo-style American meal. "Transformers 3" takes the elements and special effects of commercial films to the limit. The vision is magnificent, and the scenes are already exaggerated and dazzling. Even if they are madly entangled in chaos, they can still distinguish the details of each action, which can be seen in the later stage. The production is rigorous, and the special effects are not hesitating to spend a lot of money on polishing. The sudden fight and the end of the melee are still Michael Bay’s killers. Therefore, as a huge popcorn movie, the audience can only get back the ticket price with the ultimate battle that lasted nearly an hour. It can be said that "Transformers 3" is the most ferocious and hottest action scene in the trilogy. The music is a continuation of the shock and atmosphere of the previous work, and it makes people feel exciting. The author dedicated the first IMAX to "Transformers 3". It is undeniable that the effect of wearing 3D glasses is superb. This series requires cutting-edge technical means to carry, and the sound and picture effect of "Transformers 3" is " The best so far since "Avatar".
But compared to the almost crazy action scenes, the plot of "Transformers 3" is very dull and boring, similar to the tragic fate of "Transformers 2," a large number of untimely gags and inexplicable plot advances between humans make the film bigger To eclipse, especially the emotional drama between Sam and his new girlfriend is almost the same, nothing touching. The middle section of the literary drama is slightly protracted, causing a certain degree of coldness. Compared with the previous two episodes, it is a retrogression in narrative ability. The final result is obvious: the level of the weak story and the top special effects is too far away, and the imbalance causes the two to be unharmoniously combined. The so-called "not enough drama, special effects together" can only rely on the final battle to please the audience. This is why "Transformers 3" can only become a good summer entertainment film rather than a classic.
When you think that this is a "transcendence" work, disappointment is unavoidable. Even if the special effects have reached their peak, the overall cannot become a classic. Because Michael Bay is still doing his own way, completely ignoring applause and criticism amidst popcorn and explosions. He promotes his strengths but does not avoid weaknesses. He goes further and further on the road to commercialization. Extreme and popular go hand in hand, offering a stimulus but nothing. The ending is right.
