Sam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.
I really do remember this movie being better than it is.
Revenge of the Fallen fails to live up to the promise of it's predecessor. For some reason, I quite liked this film when it came out in 2009, but rewatching it, I can't for the life of me think why.
While the first film didnt take itself too seriously, this film really turns up the cheese factor. Every aspect of this film is slightly more "teenage". The character drama is genuinely painful at times. I wanted big fighting robots, I did not particularly want teenage love drama. The robotic twins are unbearable and the weird little one is also really annoying.
There are a few cool scenes (note I did not use the word good). These, unsurprisingly the scenes with the robots fighting and doing cool stuff.
The 4K bluray was pretty good overall, visuals were good and the audio even managed to be good at times. Far from a reference disc, but good enough.
