So there I sat watching the Transformers movie again, and after a while some things started to bug me.
I understand that Bumblebee’s speech system was damaged in a fight, but here is my issue- The speakers and radio still work fine, so why couldn’t they just install Microsoft Sam or that thing Stephen Hawking uses? Talking through a radio is kinda interesting, I guess, but there are times when shit needs to be said fast and clear enough to understand.
Like- “Hey, Starscream is about to attack!” . Its direct and to the point. Will the computer voice be annoying after 5 minutes? Yes, but its much better than trying to decipher what he means by playing “Goodbye Blue Sky”. Not that having an Autonomous Robotic Organism that plays Pink Floyd isn’t cool.
Overall the movie wasn’t that bad, and made to seem pretty believable with the world war 3 possibility stemming from paranoia. In fact the only truly unbelievable part was when Megan Fox’s character drove a fucking tow truck in reverse.
Robot Aliens- fine.
The 28 year old guy with the hummer being a high school student- fine.
A woman driving in reverse- Bullshit.
