TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
megoobee Notice that I didn't say this feature was better than the first feature, just not as bad. As before, a motley crew of actors are culled together to try their hand at acting. They even had enough money in the budget to hire Bruce Boxleitner for half a movie before he left in fear of being recognized. Now if this was a school class where the teacher was grading on a curve, it would have been great to have Bruce pull up the "acting experience curve." For this film however, it made zero difference and the cast's acting was painfully inadequate. The story, what little of it flipped flopped around with little cohesion. Special effects are primitive looking and seems on the level with "claymation." In summary, the story is weak, acting is weak, affects are weak..... If you want to see a movie with killer robots, try the "Terminator" series.
zardoz-13 "Transmorphers: Fall of Man," even by Asylum standards, qualifies as execrable from fade-in to fade-out. This obvious but egregious knock-off of Hasbro's "Transformers" franchise scrapes the bottom of the barrel, especially with its lackluster transmorphing effects. What modicum of value that this terrible tale possesses is the result of Bruce Boxleitner's presence as a policeman who wears his pistol on his left hip and has little use for cell phones. Everybody else, even Jennifer Rubin, deliver horrible performances. Indeed, they hit their marks and utter their dialogue without a shred of credibility. Director Scott Wheeler and scenarist/co-star Shane Van Dyke display little imagination in this prequel to Leigh Scott's "Transmorphers" (2005)and furnish nothing in the way of humor. The giant robots that menace our heroes appear to be fresh out of a pawn shop. Mind you, unlike the "Transformers" franchise, these giants boast no personality and their transformations are nothing to brag about.
ctomvelu1 I could not believe one of the "Transformers" movies had ended up so quickly on TV, not to mention on the no-budget Sci-Fi Channel. Then it began to dawn on me, especially when Shia LaBoeuf failed to appear and Bruce Boxleitner did: I was actually watching a ripoff of the big-budget movie, and an Asylum flick to boot. Horrible! It's men versus killer robots, except it's mostly men (and a woman or two) standing around, talking about killer robots. And the robots that do turn up are just plain silly looking. I wanted to claw my eyes out. But I did the next best thing and turned the damned thing off. I hope you will do the same.,
MartianOctocretr5 A cell phone turns into a Mini-Me Transformer--I mean, Transmorpher. It zaps a dim witted girl in a convertible, then also eradicates some idiot in a van. At this point, I was pulling for the 'Morphers. They were only doing away with fools, anyway.Red flags pop up everywhere with the film's title. This movie is every bit the joke you'd expect from one that packages a morphed title of a recent big-budget film (which was a poor movie to begin with). With a budget of about 99 cents, it's just about as novice and amateurish a production as you'll see. To begin with, there's really no plot; nothing is connected in any way.The robots pop up at random, and the CGI quality varies, as does the power of the 'bots. One minute they're impervious to rocket missiles, the next minute a wild pistol shot from a moving car at extreme distance can bring it down. The bullet-induced Morph explosions were way over done and absolutely hilarious. I love how the Morphers also recoil from projectiles that visibly haven't even hit them yet.The only name actor exits early, leaving the Drama 1A drop-outs to stage weird scenes. The romantic interlude is churned out poorly, maybe just to increase running time. You knew what was coming for most every character, who all seem to be parodies of themselves. In particular, the guy that talked about how "Russians tortured one of these things until it surrendered its memory chip." I laughed so hard I had stomach convulsions. Speaking of the Morphers themselves, they appear to be doing Three Stooges impressions. First they sneak up on victims and beam lasers from behind; then in later scenes they just stand around gawking stupidly.So utterly stupid. It's an Asylum flick, so have a Conkla Cola and a McDanny's Big Quack for snacks to munch while you laugh at this.
