The push to get audiences to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon in glorious 3-D is getting a bit harder. In fact, this one feels more like a shove. Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, star Shia LaBeouf said that Dark of the Moon is the "greatest 3-D film ever made." Oh, is that all?
Ha! Hardly:
"The last hour of this movie is the greatest action sequence of Mike's career, which would put it on the same level as the greatest action ever made," LaBeouf said. "You don't breathe for the last hour. There's just no letup, but it's also not completely overwhelming and disconnected, as the second movie was. You didn't know what was fighting what or where you were geography-wise. There was no way to be able to tell a story, whereas this is very 'Black Hawk Down' action. The geography is very clear. There's only four or five dudes you need to be following. The enemy is very clear. The second movie was so ... complicated. The best movies are simple."
So, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is not only the best 3-D film ever made, but possibly the greatest action movie ever made, too? Consider my ticket purchased. Twice. Oh, what's that? Shia has some other awesomeness about the film to drop on potential ticket buyers?
"The only artificial element is the robots," LaBeouf said. "You're really blowing Chicago up. It's really an invasion."
Classic. Make that three tickets. This is a much better way to sell Dark of the Moon than by touting projector bulb brightness. Just sayin'.
