I watched Transformers the Last Knight on my cellphone yesterday. The movie was released last year and from what I have read, the movie sucked.
Saw the last four movies in the series and to tell the truth I can not remember much about the stories except Megan Fox. Sorry about that.
Maybe viewing the movie on a 5.99" screen does not give me the right to criticize the cinematography but even at that screen size the CGIs do not blend with the environment and the human actors.
They are cartoonish and they stick out. Even the lighting do not interact with them realistically. Enlarge that to a giant screen and you could see the details.
Anyway, my main gripe is the story line. It started in a dystopian sci-fi fashion, then morphed into an Indiana Jones story with humor a-la-Marvel franchise interspered here and there, then it tries to forced the Arthurian legend into the cybertronian resurrection story.
The thing is the transformers are giant robots. Why in the hell did the writers choose the chivalric King Arthur to prop up the story, the bacground myth? The central theme in King Arthur story is the search for the holy Grail. It would be more convincing or smoother to use myths that contain references to beings that correspond to the transformers size and powers.
King Arthur and the transformers, unfortunately for me, don't mix.
