I had absolutely NO intentions of seeing this movie in theater... more or less in 3D... but certain circumstances put me in the theater with those stupid glasses on.
To my surprise the 3D was actually really good... wasn't gimmicky at all, very subtle and overall pretty damn impressive. The thing that made me really happy was that the 3D wasn't gimmicky, so when it does eventually hit DVD/Blu-ray it's not going to look like the viewer is missing something because there are 2D objects flying at the screen for no apparent reason... basically saying to the viewer "shoulda seen me in theater 3D"... it can be watched and enjoyed either way... Standard it's a GREAT popcorn flick and alot of fun, then in 3D it add's a whole new layer of depth and fun to the movie.
The CGI was fantastic as per usual to a Bay film, nothing new there.
The movie just felt like it had a much better pace to it this time around... as it should seeing as the movie clocks in at over 2 hours and 30 minutes long.
The movie overall was alot of fun and easily the strongest of the 3 films.
The NASA stock footage of Apollo 13 was a great/welcome addition giving the movie a more realistic and important feel.
All the good aside, this movie is plagued with the EXACT same problems as it's older siblings. The Transformers end up becoming a side note in there own movie. The movie almost completely focuses on Micheal Bay's ongoing and ever growing hard on for the U.S. Military and the handful of stars.
A Transformers movie should be about the fucking TRANSFORMERS, not about Sam and his awkward parents and the military guys swinging there dicks around seeing who's is bigger.
All that being said... The movie isn't THAT bad... not great... but not terrible like "Revenge of the Fallen"...
If your a fan of the Bay-Transformers, then this is an absolute can't miss because this is easily the best/strongest of the 3... if your not a fan and just plain can't stand Bay's adaptation of the Autobots, then don't bother, it will be just more of the same for you.
Also, Leonard Nimoy as Sentinel Prime was actually pretty fucking awesome.
I give Transformers 3:Dark of the Moon a solid 8 out of 10.
Great action, impressive CGI, amazing voice acting (Peter Cullen, Leonard Nimoy and Hugo Weaving) and an hour long none stop all out Transformers battle in the middle of the city at the end... epic.
On the other hand, the movie is plagued with alot of the same problems as it's predecessors (just not as extreme), The Transformers once again seem to be upstaged by humans in there own movie and there are 2 very annoying robots in this movie YET AGAIN.
