So, I went in expecting lots of explosions and not much plot line, and that's what I got. Yet, and I think this is the first time I'm saying this, holy crap it didn't matter! The whole movie was a visual masterpiece, and the perfect summer blockbuster. I can't even imagine the amount of money they spent on that thing, but from the 5 fully packed theaters where I went for the midnight showing, I'm guessing they'll make it all back pretty damn fast.
You can go in expecting to be bored for the 2 minutes they spend trying to make the characters matter (don't worry, it's smattered throughout the movie in short doses), and highly entertained for 158 minutes they spend drenching the screen with exploding robots, at least if you like that kind of thing. There's also a lot of humping and corny slapstick jokes.
In other news, I'm days away from finishing my platformer, for anyone who cares. :P EDIT: ZOMG it's finished!

I honestly got less explosions and more plot than I expected. A pleasant surprise.
