Mechanical aliens travel across the universe to invade earth, and quickly take it over.  Humanity hides like ten feet underground in an enormous, subterranean city.  A bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with anything happens.  Then some guys try to capture a fuel cell from one of the robots.  They succeed.  One of the main characters turns out to be a robot himself, so they install the fuel cell in him because, uh.  Look, it'll enable him to destroy all the robots, ok?  Anyway, the final battle for humanity happens.  Robots stomp around, occasionally transforming into planes or tanks.  Humans shoot guns at nothing in particular.  Some radar dishes shoot lightning.  The one guy makes it into the control tower for all the robots.

Then, suddenly, Transmorphers turns into the best movie ever made.

The giant tower -- transforms into a super-robot!  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!  This cheapass movie tried to give us something on the scale of Metroplex!

Anyway, the guy with the fuel cell in him walks into a booth, the super robot dies, all the robots die, everyone's like, "Yay!"  The End

You know something?  The tag line for this movie is, "The final battle between man and machines."  And ... the movie shows us the final battle between man and machines.  There is nothing I don't love about this movie.  Everyone is obviously speaking English, but it's dubbed, anyway.  The first ten or fifteen minutes develops a squad of people who die as soon as they go into battle, after which the General character says, "Oh, well.  Promote some more people!"  The General is a woman, by the way, and is married to the protagonist's ex wife!  The protagonist is a guy trying so hard to be Jason Statham it just has to be a joke.  There's a mad scientist character who built himself a sex bot.  The Transmorphers look exactly like those cheapass, tiny, transforming toys you used to buy in plastic bubbles out of gumball machines.  Completely out of nowhere, five female soldiers have a catfight because two of them volunteer for a suicide mission so the other three decide to steal all of their stuff.  "It's not like you're coming back for it (long pause) b***h!"  The fight seems to be rapid-fire editing between about 100 shots of the actresses swinging punches directly at the camera.

There's so much I love about this movie, I can't list it all.  Best bad movie I've seen in ages!
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

I like how this is in the "Good Movies" subforum right by Sharknado 4.  :teddyr:
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
