The Cake is a Lie takes on Transformers.... and enjoyed it?
Stunning open action sequence (reminded me of Mech-warrior for some reason) followed by almost an hour of overly set-up comedic sequences and boring, cardboard cut-out character development. Seriously, the only decent human characters aren't introduced or have any actual lines until half way through the film. The last half of this film really gave me what I wanted. Rock-em Sock-em robots beating the ish out of each other and killing hundreds of innocent people with stunning visuals, fast-paced action, and the best CGI I have seen to date.
Military recruiters and Chevy must have dropped a bundle on this film, all the vehicles you see are top of the line military or brand-new chevy super cars. Great chase sequences abound, and nothing beats watching the best we have pounding the crap out of robots. If you are a military or car buff, please shut your mind of in this film, or you will have a spaz attack at all the little inaccuracies. It's Michael Bay, he takes a lot of liberties, Just watch "Pearl Harbor" and see what I mean.
If you were a fan of 80's cartoon, say goodbye to the campy nature of those classics. The films dialogue did remind me of the comic book nature of the subject matter, but everything else is pure modern cinema.
