I've never been much of an advocate for the whole "CGI is ruining movies" thing, but seeing Apocalypse Now and this movie so close together has definitely presented a convincing case for it. Despite the insanely huge visual spectacle presented by the state-of-the-art visual and special effects teams on this movie, this was still probably the dullest movie I've seen all year. The LUDICROUS 2h30 running length was part of it, but the moronic story and patchwork script also had a lot to do with it. Further ruining any interest is the somehow-worse-than-Megan-Fox new female actress, and Shia's complete character change into some sort of PCP-fueled raving lunatic.
Maybe skim through the Bluray for the effects shots, but otherwise a complete and utter waste of time. Action has never lacked so much excitement.
