Movie Review: Transformers 3

What I Liked:

The robots transform! No, really — huge kudos to the special effects team that put together the ‘transformers shifting forms in motion’ scenes. Very cool. (It’s possible these seemed *more* cool in comparison to all the other scenes, simply because the transforming actually seemed to have some logical purpose.)

What I Didn’t Like:

The movie doesn’t make any sense — and I didn’t care enough about any of the characters not to mind. (Reboot!Trek didn’t make any sense either, but it was still awesome.)

I think my core issue with the movie is illustrated by the title. It’s *actual* title is “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” What? I mean, it’s like I can see what they were *aiming* for, sort of, but what they actually came up with DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. Your title has no meaning! At all!

On the ‘What a great idea!’ side:

1. It’s tradition. It would be my 7th nano novel, which seems neat.
2. It’s NaNoWriMo’s 13th year, which is cool.
3. It’s Chris Baty’s last year running the program, which makes participation seem kind of symbolically supportive of what he’s created.

On the ‘What, are you crazy?’ side:

1. It sounds hard.
2. I have no idea what to write about.

To help with this decision, I’ve decide to re-read my previous nanos. I’m just having a little trouble getting motivated to actually do it.
