The third film in the franchise, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” hits multiplexes across the nation just in time for all the explosions one could possibly want. When it comes to blowing things up, nothing in recent memory tops the display of the “Transformers” movies. It’s hot outside, and cookouts with fireworks are just around the corner, so it’s only natural that American cinemas should be filled with explosions.

Just when you think the bad taste of sullying our memory of the moon landing can’t get worse, Transformers owns it by getting Aldrin to appear.ĭoes the involvement of Frances McDormand, Leonard Nimoy, or Buzz Aldrin legitimatize the film? Do they elevate the material to a point beyond that of an over-the-top Michael Bay movie? No, absolutely not. In an attempt to own its absurd premise, the film also boasts a cameo from none other than Buzz Aldrin.
