Trivia:
The naval battleship that carries a powerful blaster weapon is a homage to the famous anime series "Uchû senkan Yamato" (1974) (known in the U.S. as "Star Blazers"), which also featured a similar craft and was also made into a live-action film in 2010. more

Continuity: During the Shanghai Chase Scene Sideways is depicted as running through a building and transforming on the other side. But if you look closely you can see that the wall that he was approaching in the former shot, and the wall he is leaving behind are the same wall and it is the same street. He did not go through the building, he made a huge explosive U-turn. more

Could not watch after 30 minutes, 23 November 2009
1/10
Author: kevin_parks from Canada

It's not often that I don't give a film at least a fair chance. But I could not watch this film anymore after the first 30 minutes. Where to begin? The acting was awful. Megan Fox and Shia Le Boeuf should not be allowed in front of a camera anymore. The plot was... I'm not actually sure there was a plot. The attempt at humour... was aimed at apparently no one. To be more specific: the entire dialogue and acting by Shia's characters mother... drove me insane. Zero point whatsoever to her even being in the film, let alone actually having a lot of dialogue and scenes. The Megan Fox Show aspect of the movie was completely pointless. And how many times could they play that agonizing Green Day song!?!?!? I think they played the song 5 different times throughout the first 30 minutes. The song is horrifying to listen to once.. let alone 5 times.

Considering this film was made in a society that allows Britney Spears and Lady GaGa to have success, it doesn't surprise me that this film was SO terrible.

But it is a shame. Just like they did with Spider-Man... they took GREAT potential, and instead of creating Gold, they created feces.
