Transformers: Dark of the Moon is streaming on Netflix. But while watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon you’ll almost certainly have one reaction: You won’t be able to believe this movie exists. 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. Science Fiction Adventure Coarse Intense. In an attempt to own its absurd premise, the film also boasts a cameo from none other than Buzz Aldrin. Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and the Autobots must fight against the darkness to defend our world from the Decepticons' all-consuming evil in the smash hit from director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Veteran Transformers voice actor Peter Cullen is on fire as Optimus Prime, but even if you’re not sold on Nimoy versus Cullen there’s one more trick Dark of the Moon has up its sleeve. What makes the stacked cast of Dark of the Moon so fun is that you can actually just put it on in the background and listen. In 1987, Nimoy voiced the villainous Galvatron, a reincarnated Megatron, briefly proving that, like Mark Hamill, Nimoy had an acting range that included cartoon villains. For ‘80s kids, the casting of Nimoy as a Transformers villain is even more meta than Marky Mark appearing in the subsequent sequel, Age of Extinction.
