Leofwine_draca TRANSMORPHERS is a shamefully bad knock-off movie made by The Asylum to cash in on the Hollywood blockbuster TRANSFORMERS. It exists solely to be put on video shelves where it can fool viewers into purchasing it by mistake, expecting the Michael Bay movie. This film was made for a pittance and features a handful of actors sharing dialogue in the gloom in front of a green screen. The whole thing looks cheap and nasty and is coloured a navy blue. Occasionally there's a bit of bad CGI in the form of a rampaging giant robot. There are no actors of note here and no discernable talent either; just mindlessness.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Of course with the anticipated success of "Transformers" back in 2007, The Asylum had to sink their claws in and come up with their own poor man's version - as they do with so many other movies. "Transmorphers" wasn't the first of such 'mockbuster' movie to see the light of day from The Asylum, nor was it the last.The story here is that mankind found life on another planet 20 million light years away from Earth - sure - and sent a message of peace. Five years later we received their reply, and Earth was devastated and put into ruin, leaving mankind to live pitiful existences fearing the invading machines. It is up to a small group of soldiers to save mankind and save Earth.Right, just about every Sci-Fi cliché stuffed into one bad take here.This movie was just fundamentally bad on so many levels. First of all, the CGI effects were horrible, and I swore that my eyes were bleeding a couple of times throughout the ordeal that was "Transmorphers". The robots looked like something from a bad 1990's PC game. It was so fake and awkward to look at. And to top it off, this movie is making heavy use of flashing lights constantly, so if you have epilepsy then this movie should be avoided. Well, that is not actually the only reason for avoiding this movie.Moving on; secondly, the acting in the movie was just laughable. The people in the movie had everything working against them. The script was poorly constructed, the dialogue was wooden and embarrassing, and of course standing face to face with horrible CGI effects doesn't really help an actors motivation, I guess.Once the movie ends, if you manage to suffer through this painful experience, you are left with a very hollow sensation that you just wasted about an hour and a half on utter and complete rubbish.Every once in a while The Asylum manages to put something out there that is watchable and enjoyable, but "Transmorphers" is definitely not one such occurrence.Take heed and notice the low score on IMDb, let it be a guiding light and lead you away from this movie. If you hold your limited time in life precious, stay well clear of "Transmorphers".

Swiitch iT Productions OK, sum up this train wreck of a movie in one word; awful. I saw the listing for this movie following a TRANSFORMERS marathon on TV. I knew by the title that it was going to be a hooooorrible ripoff of Transformers, but I thought to myself, "Hey, what the hell. Maybe it'll be good for a laugh." ... bad idea. Very bad.. I was going to hold back on the comments as I can be very opinionated, especially growing up in Hollywood North and producing animated shorts of my own. But after reading Jeff McDonald's review titled "Doesn't live up to the hype", I decided I could no longer bite my tongue.. er, ..fingers. Jeff; I seriously hope you were joking around when you wrote that. If you had half a clue, you would realize those toys you spent all that time playing with, were actually called TransFORMERS, the catch-phrase was "Robots in DISGUISE" (hence being able to transform) and his name is OPTIMUS. There was no such cartoon in the 80's called Transmorphers but there was one called Transformers. It even had a swear word! The villain group of the race are known as the DecePticons and when mentioning characters such as Honeybee, Chazz and Sunscreen, I believe you're referring to BUMBLEbee, Jazz and STARSCREAM. As for Magnadoodle, I believe you may be referring to Etch-a-Sketch? (lol) Finally, it's "More than meets the eye". Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to mock you or call you out, but please, oh please, for the love of God, get your facts straight before writing a review or claim to be a fan, when clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. It must have been disappointing for this movie not living up to the hype, considering you weren't even watching the right one? Perhaps you have (or will) check out the actual movie since writing your review. After this disgrace of a film, you may be pleasantly surprised.That being said, I was disappointed in myself for sitting through this film. I don't think they could have ripped off Transformers harder if they tried, right down to the Frenzy-like character that took on the form of a cellphone, although I almost laughed myself to death at the terrible acting as this non-moving robot killed the woman driving. The effects, both CGI (if it can be called that) and practical effects were that of an amateur's and the audio was terrible as well as out-of-sync. I almost thought I was watching the old TV show Thunderbirds during certain scenes and even found myself looking for puppet strings. When an actor films every shot he or she is in, in a single day, you can tell that not a lot of effort was put into making this. I still find myself in shock that this monstrosity somehow managed to spawn a sequel, not that I'll be hanging around to see it. I wouldn't have paid $2.50 to see this, let-alone the $250,000 it cost to produce. Maybe next time the money could be used to buy an original idea. As mentioned before, I too lost time and brain cells at the hands of this disaster, so, before you think to yourself this may be fun to watch, let me save you some time by saying "it's not worth it". Just remember, brain cells don't regenerate!

jp-pimpin This movie was dumb. Manute Bol's intestines make more entertaining crap. Don Cheadle should have been in this film. Roberts must have turned this one down. Waste of time. Don't bother watching. Very low budget effects and no Bruce Boxleitner? James Hong should have been the voice of the robots. I bet Adam Sandler wouldn't even do this film, probably why he wasn't in it. I just hope they make a third one, my coffee table needs one more disc to be perfectly straight.In conclusion, this movie was not worth the dollar rental fee from the red box. It just plain stinks. it just sucks like you wouldn't believe playa en
