Transformers: The Dark Side Of The Moon






                Transformers explores the idea of robots taking over the human race. This seems generic, but it's actually different than other robot domination movies, because these robots are also aliens. In the movie, these aliens try to take over the human race, while some of the robots protect us. I believe that the idea of our race being taken over is one that has much truth behind it. We, as a whole, are an ignorant and stubborn race. It is likely that when aliens show up in the future, we will anger them with threats or attacks, leading to the enslavement of our race. I believe that we'll never actually reach this point though, because we're wasting all of Earth's resources too quickly to last much longer.
               The director gets the idea of intergalactic war across through his use of imagery. All the explosions and the number of these aliens would cause one to think twice before ever purposely angering these creatures upon encountering them in the future. Even if there were few aliens, the sheer size of them would be terrifying. This serves as a warning to humans, who see Chicago in ruins in this movie. Don't mess with the aliens or they'll kick our butts.
