Crazy Credits
SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: a human team is investigating Unicron's horn in the desert, and Quintessa in human form meets them and offers her assistance. See more »
The movie cuts and jumps so much and so quickly (Some scenes are literally less than 20 seconds long... in succession...) that by the end of the first half you'll feel dizzy from trying to follow.
It takes everything from the other movies... and spits them out in raw, bloody bits which make no sense and flow like chunky soured milk.
If Michael Bay has gotten tired of the franchise.... it finally shows. The last 45 minutes of battle were so bad... it didn't even redeem the movie.
Trust me... don't bother going to see it in the theater, it's a waste of your time.
