Love your car, but don't LOVE your car.

You all should go see the Transformers movie. It is awesome.

(Where "Awesome" here is to mean "full of giant robots blowing shit up." Just in case you wanted clarification.)

However, I must admit that despite Awkward Neurotic Boy declaring loudly, "I love my car!" and being otherwise obsessed, I still TOTALLY MISSED half of the romantic subplot.

And so was completely lost going into this scene:

 
Car-Robot: Optimus Prime, I want to remain with Awkward Neurotic Boy.
Optimus Prime: Well, uh, um. Okay. If that's what he wants?
Awkward Neurotic Boy: *choked up* I do. Yes.
Refreshingly Kick-Ass Love Interest: *beaming sappily*
Awkward Neurotic Boy: *beaming sappily*
Car-Robot: *creepy cgi expression of beaming sappily*

Karen: Huh. That was inexplicably charged with emotion.

Movie: CUTS TO MAKE-OUT SCENE
Movie: *Close up on Refreshingly-Kick-Ass-Love-Interest lying on Awkward-Neurotic-Boy lying on Car-Robot*

Karen: OH. I SEE. OKAY THEN.

Movie: PANS TO GIANT ROBOTS SKULKING IN BACKGROUND OF MAKE-OUT SCENE.
Optimus Prime: And we're here watching over you.

Karen: ...
Karen: I THINK POSSIBLY NOT THE MORAL I WAS MEANT TO BRING AWAY FROM THIS MOVIE.
Audience: *giggles in agreement*

 

But no. It's a fun couple hours. Check it out.

Another case of do not write the things you love? That explains the voice over, at least.

It was a movie that worked best when it didn't give you a chance to go "Hey, what? *What* is their plan?" But it made up for most of that by being awesome. I'll end up seeing it again (my Mom's been bugging me to go with her since it came out.)
