Transmorphers (2007)

Just perfect...

Don't Believe the Hype

Absolutely brilliant

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

I get the strongest impression that not none of these actors were hired for their acting talent. Truth to tell, I've seen better acting in community theatre.The acting level here reminds me of a very old joke about an actress who was leaving Hollywood. She'd been offered a position as a department store mannequin. The one she was replacing was too emotional.And the writing reminds me of a comic strip that's almost as old as that joke: "Uncle Cosmo, why do they call it a Word Processor?" "It's really very simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food?" (2011-09-29)

This film was one of those random films you sit and watch because you think that it's a copy, but if you think this ....YOU ARE Wrong this film is so original, the story line is fantastic and the main character fights robots and save his friends from the alien invaders form outer spaces and doesn't afraid of anything. This film in my opinion this film is in the top of the the sci-fi class like star wars, Alien 'vs' predator and phantom of the opera. The acting is really good and in my opinion I ask you just to watch it and be amazed by this beautiful film with the best graphics and editing, the graphics may not be the best but it reminds me of my old ps1 games but it looks good And makes you think….no matter where you are ….who you are the aliens are coming from outer spaces

Transmorphers is set in the far future four hundred years after Earh has been taken over by large robots, 90% of the human population has been eradicated & only a few survive living underground. However it's decided that it's time to fight back, it's time to reclaim Earth & defeat the robots. A crazy plan to infect the robots main control tower with a virus that would spread to all the other robots has been devised but finding a team of soldiers tough enough to carry out the mission will be hard...Written & directed by Leigh Scott this was made by The Asylum who are well known for their blatant rip-offs of big budget Hollywood films, here it doesn't take a genius to work out that Transmorphers is a rip-off of Transformers (2007) & a really dire one at that. Transmorphers is bad even for The Asylum & it's low standards, an example would be that during the opening sequence it is stated that a message was sent to a planet 100 million light years away & four years later we got a response. Well, lets think about that for a second (unlike whoever wrote the script for Transmorphers) because wouldn't our message, like you know, take 100 million light years just to even get to the planet 100 million light years away? Where does four years come in it? Transmorphers will insult the intelligence of anyone old enough to go to school, the destruction of the world is shown by two meteors crashing on Earth, after 400 years of being uninhabited buildings would have crumbled & nothing of our society would be left & what's with the giant robot tower anyway? One tower to control every robot on Earth? We never see the society underground apart from various military soldiers with one actually worrying about her career. Yeah, so the entire world has been destroyed by alien robots yet you can still join the military, get paid & have a career. Where did this underground society which we never see actually get it's technology? Why don't we ever see anyone not in their twenties? It's food? It's supplies?Nothing is made of the fact that these robots are half biological, for some reason women can have wives & there's never any sort of explanation as to why these alien robots even invaded Earth in the first place. Character's are zero dimensional, the dialogue is terrible & while there's a few unintentionally funny moments most of it is just bland & dull. Transmorphers is so badly written & thought out that only The Asylum could have made it, amazingly this has to be one of their worst films & even at only 85 minutes it feels like it goes on forever.Conceptually Transmorphers is embarrassing but technically it's not better with some of the worst computer effects I have ever seen, some of the robot CGI would look bad even on a Playstation game. The action scenes are awful, there's no excitement, you can barely keep track of who is who & since there was no budget everywhere looks exactly the same so it's hard to visualise where people & or the robots are at any given time. James Cameron did a better job on the low budget The Terminator (1984), over twenty years later & The Asylum can't even come close to matching The Terminator's future set battle scenes between human & robot. The whole production looks cheap with terrible effects, cardboard sets & silly costumes with plastic toy guns.With a supposed budget of about $250,000 Transmorphers is about as low budget as they come but why should I cut it any slack for that? There are loads of low budget films out there that are great & entertain & at least make sense. The acting is terrible period but some of the girls here were quite nice to look at I suppose.Transmorphers is one of the worst rip-offs from The Asylum who are starting to develop a really bad reputation & deservedly so, this is just insultingly bad on every level from effects (I won't put the word 'special' in front of effects) to writing to logic to acting. A real stinker of a film even by The Asylum's standards. Frighteningly followed by the sequel Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009).

Changed the channel after the first two minutes. Turns out they found a planet 20 million light years away and we sent a message of peace five years later they responded. Okay first off we do not know of anything that travels faster than the speed of light, radio waves travel at the speed of light. Meaning if we sent a radio message it would take 20 MILLION YEARS TO GET TO THEIR PLANET. Then even if the robots could travel at the speed of light it would take them 20 MILLION YEARS TO REACH US!!!!!! Plus I would say another year or two for them to assemble a military strike before they left. Even if they found a way to bend the space time continuum to warp to us, our message would still take 20 MILLION YEARS!!!!
