I liked TRANSMORPHERS: FALL OF MAN even more than the original. I dug seeing the morphing ‘bots go rampaging through present-time Earth. I love disaster movies and this one definitely added that component to the franchise. TRANSMORPHERS: FALL OF MAN, obviously – since it’s set in the now, is a prequel to the original TRANSMORPHERS. This is about the ‘bots first big invasion; it’s about how they laid waste to civilization and how the humans who were able to band together were give no options but to flee underground. But the living underground and fighting ‘bots stuff is for the first TRANSMORPHERS. This is the second one, FALL OF MAN, and this is about the brave humans above ground who fought back as best they could. Happily, TRANSMORPHERS: FALL OF MAN expands the repertoire of robots, even the traditional style shapeshifting robot – is it weird that one can speak of traditional shapeshifting robots? – makes an appearance, with an SUV surprising its human opponents by turning into a robot. I gotta say, this robot design, despite the less-flashy-than-Michael-Bay CGI (which is neato regardless), is more appealing than the clusterfuck of metal shards the ‘bots look like in the “Transformers” series. The automobile ‘bottage in TRANSMORPHERS: FALL OF MAN looks more like the kinds of toy car-to-robot toys I played with when I was a kid. At any rate, TRANSMORPHERS: FALL OF MAN rocks because I get CGI robots and disaster movie carnage. w00t!!!
