It's so funny that President Kennedy gets so much screentime in 2011 movies, his mission to send human to moon landed him on this movie and so do Nixon. It's said that the landing on the moon was to investigate a strange alien thing on the dark side of the moon (there's the title). Neil and Buzz found the Ark, a Cybertronian spaceship along with the captain, Sentinel Prime (voiced by the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy). As a result of the space wars with Soviet, some cosmonauts brought back an alien part to Chernobyl and tried to figure it out. Result: nuclear radiation in Chernobyl. Optimus and the other bots knew that the Ark carried a device, only known by Sentinel that can win the war between Autobots and Decepticons back in the great war. Some parts of the device, named space bridge, is missing. Looks like the Megatron is finally having his revenge. Sam (LaBeouf), who was given a medal of honor by Obama, now with his new gf Carly (Rosie) wanted to be a part in this great war, taking place on Earth helping their alien friends Autobots.
The story was highly interesting up until Chernobyl but then it started to fall apart, rushing to make things in motion for the final war. It's still watchable and permissible unlike the strangeness of TF2. The jokes in TF3 is funnier and it works and it's not dumb nor do annoying (well some moments with Ken Jeong are dumb). Sam Witwicky became a little bit irritating since he's now trapped in a classic Datsun instead of Camaro and he doesnt have a job. Sam wanted big things in his life, but never chase those big things. It's tiring, but Shia manages to make it forgettable with his charm. Whereas Rosie, she could act. Not as brilliantly as Megan Fox did but yeaahh adequate for a newcomer, a model newcomer. She totally lost it when she left Sam for a while. But she's still a sight for me :) The Carly character isn't like Mikaela who seems to love Sam so much. I didn't see that infatuation in Carly. Mikaela is more badass too! Remember she's a criminal for grand theft auto and she could drive skillfully with Bumblebee towed at the back (It's TF1). All things considered, Mikaela should still be here, the story would have been better with familiar people who knew and experienced the events from the original Transformers. The action scenes with the robots are incredible and cool, just like we expected. Not to mention the wingsuit men, totally jaw-dropping. It's a pity for Megatron, who's actually in this final stand should've been fiercer but he's not. He's just "Sentinel's bitch". Also Shockwave, who's appearance is dreading but not that dreading in action, his pet is but just like Devastator in TF2 (you know what happened to Devastator). Oh and the ending is a downer, am not gonna talk about it to avoid spoilers, but it flunked. As the last entry to the trilogy and the series, it should've had a killer ending, a cool one. Instead we got a short, unsatisfying one. What could you expect anyway? It's Michael Bay, explosions come first. It feels so rushed, but at least it's better than TF2 but never nearing the ultimate masterpiece quality of the 2007 original. Transformers: Dark of the Moon: rated B-here's the first scene from the movie that features Carly
