Following the momentum of the Transformers franchise, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON arrived in theatres across the United States and Canada with the kind of fanfare typical of a big summer blockbuster. While it doesn’t pretend to reinvent the wheel, the third film in the series leans into the sheer scale of the spectacle, delivering the kind of moviegoing experience that keeps audiences glued to the screen. The story centers on a mysterious artifact from a distant past that resurfaces in the modern era and threatens to plunge the world into war. Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LaBeouf, is drawn back into the conflict as the Autobots and Decepticons collide in a fight that could determine Earth’s fate. The film presents a straightforward premise—a resurfaced past event breaks into the present and a global conflict follows—but it does so with enough energy and visual invention to satisfy audiences who crave big, loud action across North America.
