Transmorphers: Fall of Man

Nothing good about it, the first transmorphes was bad but it was funny bad.....this ones just boring, the plot makes no sense, the acting is horrible, the "special effects" are god awful. Do not watch this film it's not worth your time!

After watching the first half of this tedious flick I am convinced that there should be a new class of distribution worse than DTV (Direct To Video) I propose the new designation should be DTDB (Direct To Dollar Bin). This movie definitely belongs there. As others have noted the special effects are worse than atrocious. They could have used an etch-a-sketch and gotten better results. I can only assume that Bruce Boxleitner owed someone a large favor to have appeared in this production.

This production is so bad, it even falls below the standards for the Sci-Fi Channel made for TV stuff. The only way this could have been worse is if it was animated, and the cels were drawn using crayons.

The basic story concept, as you can imagine from the title, is basically the same as "Transformers", a far better movie than this could ever hope to be.

If you wish to see how movies should NOT be made then rent this. With luck you'll find it in the dollar bin and expense will be minimal. The best use for this CD would be as a target at a rifle range.

I know what to expect from Asylum - dreadful nonsense that trades off current cinematic trends. But with this one, I almost dared to hope that they might have put some effort in.

The first 30 minutes or so are almost acceptable - the build-up is slow and disjointed, but most of the over-acting is kept to a minimum, and some of the effects actually look as though somebody actually tried to produce something worthy. Some effects sequences are actually fairly effective - though many others are awful.

Unfortunately, whatever small amount of promise may have existed early on, it all falls apart after 30 minutes, with really poor dialogue, laughable acting, lame plotting, and some terrible visual effects.

It does have some unintentional comedy value, as you might expect - much of the dialogue is staggeringly bad. At one point, a woman tells our heroes that she investigates "unexplained events of the terrestrial nature". That is a direct quote.

One minor character asks her how aliens differ from extraterrestrials - quite why anybody would ask such a stupid question is unexplained, but her answer is absolutely mind-boggling. She explains that extraterrestrials attack like a friend, whereas aliens attack like enemies. I challenge anyone to find a more stupid piece of dialogue in any science fiction movie of the past ten years. It's hard to imagine anything more utterly devoid of meaning or sense.

It's a shame, because if this film shows anything, it's that Asylum probably have the resources to produce some decent films if they wanted to. But first, they would need to employ someone who has good ideas, and is capable of translating them into a movie that follows the long-established conventions of storytelling. This film throws out the rulebook in favour of cobbling together events and characters in seemingly random order. They also need talented script writers, or at least skilled script editors.

In summary, I could live with the constraints of a poor budget, if it told a good story. Many great sci-fi stories have been told on a very limited budget - but this really is useless, and I suspect the reason is that very few people at Asylum could care less what anybody thinks, as long as they make a few dollars profit on each tiresome knock-off.

One plus point - it's better than the first Transmorphers film.

Bruce may have saved babylon 5, but he couldn't save this. I've seen worse cgi (it's actually decent!) and mildly worse acting. Bruce can act as always, he's the only reason I didn't give this a 1 out of 10. His part taken on it's own is the only redeeming part of them film, and if you ignore everything else it's okay (if you figure out how please tell me) but whoever wrote this script has to be someone's inbred nephew/grandson trying to earn his food while locked in the basement, holy moronic batman. After what I thought was the end...it got worse.. i started jumping forward to the end.. i'm still watchin the last of it in the corner of my screen now... oh well, at least um...ya i don't know, i have to.. go .. um.. i think me gotten dummerer after watchy ow ow inside head hurt... no give food basement monkey, him bad, him make thinker owy bad

The title of the movie suits it, it is really THE FALL OF MAN when this movie created. Take note its a 2009 movie and the effects sucks big time! i better watch Latin soaps which i can understand a thing, but appreciate the sexy actress.

Not worth to even RENT this film, but if you wish to see ROBOTS made of rubber then this is your movie.

i would rate this move -999999999 i rather play TETRIS than watch this movie, if u may call it a movie?

comments suggest that it must be 10 lines :((
