"Transmorphers" is the worst movie I have reviewed for Direct To Video Month and I have to apologize to "Leprechaun: Back 2 Da Hood". Apart from the fact that the title would make you think it was a ripoff of "Transformers" when it mostly isn't, the special effects are terrible. They might be even worse than in "George Of The Jungle 2". I'm surprised this isn't in the IMDb Bottom 100. Do they not allow direct to video films to be featured there? They probably should. This is mostly a ripoff of "The Terminator" which some of "The Matrix" thrown in.Most of this movie is painfully boring as it's nothing but people talking. I don't care in the least about any of these unbearably dull characters. They have no personality other than being annoying. Everyone in this movie is annoying. The film's pacing is terrible. We get about the first thirty minutes with nothing but setup for what's going to happen next. We get stupid looking action scenes with pitiful CGI robots being defeated. On top of all that, it's an ugly looking film.There's not even that much to say because there's nothing that really happens in this movie. We get dumb scene after dumb scene of stuff being shot up. There's some story and twists about robots. There are probably a million plot holes that I could go over, but I honestly wasn't even paying that much attention because it was such a vile looking film. I think the creators may have been sued for plagiarism once or twice, but they need to just stop making movies. It's a disorganized mess from beginning to end. 1/2 star

And thats not a joke. The script of this movie appears to have been doodled onto a café napkin and then gone unedited into the movie. That however is does not matter. Even if the script was decent, the actors in this movie would put any good writer to shame. They are more useless then a seat belt on a pogo stick. Enough of that however because I want to talk about the CGI.Transmorphers was released in 2007 (the same year as Transformers). So you would expect CGI that is at least deserving of the era. Well, prepared to be disappointed as Transmorphers serves a cold dish of CGI that rivals none other than the first series of Star Trek, or Dr Who from the 60's. Awful stuff, this.When you get a low budget film like this, you expect to see some things that are not perfect, but with Transmorphers, the lack of attention-to-detail is astonishing. As I am already surprised you have read up to here, I'll leave you with an all defining example of the directors attitude to this movie. In the final scene before the credits roll up, you see a forgettable character standing there, enjoying the blue sky as the clouds have parted for the first time in 300 years. In the shot before this, her face was covered in scars and blood. These details have since evaded the memory of the director. And he obviously didn't care about the REALLY FREAKING OBVIOUS JUMBO JET FLYING RIGHT BEHIND HER HEAD
.Fail.1 star.

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)

i didn't read all the comments but i could tell from the first few that the majority of you have never heard of the Asylum, i.e. the worst production company ever conceived.They make all their money by creating piece of crap movies with similar names and plots to blockbuster movies that are released at the same time.Look them up and you'll see all the movies that they have made, take a mental note to never see them, because they are either as bad as this movie, or...believe it or not...even worse...i know, you would think it not possible but it is.They've been sued multiple times and fined multiple times for copyright infringement and alike, but the Owners still maintain that it is pure coincidence that they have similar movies with "real" movies and that they put forth as much effort as any other production company.
