Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

You know, the people saying this had the benefit of not having Michael Bay have it all wrong. It may have been better, at least I would have liked the action. But no, all you get is sub-par, Asylum rip-off. Z-level crap starring Tron's Brue Boxleitner again in a Asylum rip-off and this doesn't have the benefit of having a lesbian topless kiss scene. The Special effects are shoddy, the acting worse than Transformers 2 and believe me I didn't like some of the acting in that either. Stay away, please, go watch Transformers 2, I know all the hate it gets, but honestly is it that bad this movie becomes better all of the sudden. NO, it doesn't this is so much worse, so crappy and poorly done. I realize that Transformers 2 was a mess, but it was a fun mess, more fun than this movie.

During a bout of insomnia a few nights ago, the SyFy Channel came to my rescue with "Transmorphers: Fall of Man," the second film in the Asylum's series of "Mockbusters" inspired by a certain other big-budget film franchise about giant robots. I've never seen the first "Transmorphers," but thankfully viewership of the original is not a requirement here because "Transmorphers: Fall of Man" is a prequel set in the present day (300 years before the first film), so I didn't have to worry about not knowing the back story. (Then again, this is the Asylum we're talking about -- how much back story could there possibly be?) Anyway, in case you haven't figured it out already, "Transmorphers: Fall of Man" is a hilariously cheap knock-off of the "Transformers" series, with some bits borrowed from the "Terminator" films to boot. In a nutshell, a race of giant alien robots have come to Earth intent on eradicating all of humanity. Thankfully, we Earthlings have Shane Van Dyke (pretty-boy grandson of showbiz legend Dick Van Dyke, who also wrote the script here) and "Tron" himself, Bruce Boxleitner, ready to defend us all against the metallic threat. When Transmorphers start transmorphing (?) around their small California town, Sheriff Bruce and Former Army Guy Shane head to the nearest Air Force base (which oddly enough doesn't seem to have any airplanes in it) with a scientist (Jennifer Rubin of "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors" fame) and a few assorted hangers-on in tow, to join the human resistance. This motley crew spends a lot of time running around aimlessly in the desert, occasionally being chased by badly CGI'd robots, before the group gets organized and attacks a Transmorpher "terraforming" plant, which is apparently one of a series of robot factories designed to change our planet's atmosphere and resources to "better suit them." Or something. To be honest, the script here is confusing at best and nonsensical at worst, and it was the middle of the night, so I may have been nodding off by this point.The special effects are cheap, the acting (other than Boxleitner's) is awful, and the story is jumbled and random. People who pick this DVD up expecting to see lots of metal-clanging, robot smashing action would be better off leaving it on the shelf, as the robotic carnage scenes make up approximately two minutes of the total movie (and all of those scenes are in the trailer anyway!). That said, despite its out-and-out badness I enjoyed "Transmorphers: Fall of Man" in a "so bad it's good" kind of way (which, let's face it, is really the only way to enjoy an Asylum film). I'll even go on record as saying that I liked it better than either of the "real" Transformers flicks. "Transmorphers" was (thankfully) shorter and didn't give me a headache like Bay's movies did.Since there's a new Transformers film due this Summer, I wonder if that means The Asylum has a new "Transmorphers" in the works as well. I guess only time will tell. As for "Fall of Man," I'd say you can safely ignore it unless you're a glutton for punishment like I am. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to put on my DVD of Stuart Gordon's 1990 classic "Robot Jox" and hope it gets the taste of "Transmorphers" out of my mouth.

My gosh my gosh my gosh. SO bad, it makes Twilight seem perfect. (And I didn't "Hate" Twilight. I thought it was OK, but had many many flaws) I wanted to believe that it was even a little better then the utter atrocity that was the Transmorphers. I was slightly right, BUT THE BOTH SUCK! Hard. the acting is slightly better, but everyone still over acts or under acts! But everything else, a rip off of terminator, Transformers 1 and 2, and The Matrix! I mean, the ripped transformers right down to Megatron, and I swear they actually said Megatron.Final word, the film sucked, they both suck, don't watch it, because you won't ever get you're 90 minutes back.1 out of 10 stars, wish I could rate it lower.*'''''''''

The title of the movie suits it, it is really THE FALL OF MAN when this movie created. Take note its a 2009 movie and the effects sucks big time! i better watch Latin soaps which i can understand a thing, but appreciate the sexy actress.Not worth to even RENT this film, but if you wish to see ROBOTS made of rubber then this is your movie.i would rate this move -999999999 i rather play TETRIS than watch this movie, if u may call it a movie?comments suggest that it must be 10 lines :((sorry IMDb but my 10 line will beit sucks big timeeffects sucks dunno if you may call it effectsdon't rent itbetter watch tom and jerry
