Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his new girlfriend, Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), join the fray when the evil Decepticons renew their longstanding war against the Autobots. Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) believes that resurrecting ancient Transformer Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy), once the leader of the Autobots, may lead to victory. That decision, however, has devastating consequences; the war appears to tip in favor of the Decepticons, leading to a climactic battle in Chicago.

Critics Consensus

Its special effects -- and 3D shots -- are undeniably impressive, but they aren't enough to fill up its loud, bloated running time, or mask its thin, indifferent script.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

So how does Michael Bay justify making a third? Why, by making the film a little dense as to plot, and giving it perhaps the longest climax ever in Hollywood history.

Rated: 2/5

Kim Newman

Sight & Sound

There ought to be a way to make a live-action film about giant shapeshifting robots that's either a) fun or b) awesome... It's blatantly evident that Bay can only just about manage b) long enough to provide the shots needed to cut into a trailer.

Reel Talk Online

Never mind the ridiculous subtitle. It's really just a precursor for what is to come from the rest of the movie. And Transformers: Dark of the Moon doesn't even try to play down its idiocy.

Rated: D+

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Are we forgetting compelling humans actors in this? Apparently so, but you won't find one intelligent or compelling in "Transformers: Dark of the Moon." They are all thin, dumb, and forgettable.

Rated: 1/5

But at the heart of the myth, the Transformers have always been toys and Bay should treat them as such, psyching himself up to tell the tried and true story of action and adventure. [Full review in Spanish]

As I much as I thought Revenge of the Fallen was bad and despite its visual effects, Dark of the Moon did the unthinkable which is that it did even worse with characters that lacked any depth and chemistry and a story that was even more dull and convoluted within its bloated runtime.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Garid B

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is an epic in evert sense of the word. It is easily the darkest and most violent of the Trilogy, but it feels very in-place and not unnecessary. The action and effects are better than ever and the conspiracy at the center of the plot is very intriguing.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
