This has all the ingredients of a good film, but it's composition is certainly not as recognisable as most Sci-Fi Action films recently released.
The pacing is oddly fast with some intriguing storylines swiftly being washed to the side for more CGI spectacles.
One thing I will say in this film is that elements of the script are really very good. We enjoyed the 'butler' robot very much with his sarcastic remarks bringing humour to the film and tied nicely with his master's equally dry sense of humour.
I really wish I could rate it higher because we were left saying 'that wasn't bad' when the credits rolled but honestly I can barely remember the storyline it was shifting so rapidly.
Hopefully the next Transformers instalment will carry a little more weight in terms of storyline and pacing to support it's awesome CGI elements and give the film a better shape overall.
