Transmutators (2007)
7/10
C'mon people... 2.9...? Seriously? Hey, for what it was it is a fun, exciting, good ol' Robot/Alien Smackdown...

2.9, really? I mean that is one of THE lowest scores I've ever seen for a movie here. I mean total trash and drivil gets rated higher than that.

Okay... this is no masterpiece. But, quite honestly, if you just take out some of the super Cheeeeezy dialog here and there, you actually have quite a fun Robot/Alien movie. Even the V effects I thought were quite good. Good stop motion on the robots, really good sets probably considering the money they had to work with. And, to be a 'Guy' (my apologies..) some really rather pretty girls if I may be allowed to say so. I think I fell in love with the blind girl, Lovely! : )

Anyway, with the real, genuine low budget garbage out there, how can this fairly competently made movie possibly be rated a 2.9? No way... And, I'm not one to be quite as forgiving for really low budget Cheeeezy movies as others are (I'm looking at you Leo 'Geek Legion of Doom') I honestly felt that for what this was that the filmmakers made a genuine effort to make a good film with an effective if simply story, good effects, and some really fun Robot/Alien action.

So, if you are a fan at all of somewhat low-budget Asian Sci Fi films that are made with some decent effort, and especially if like me you really dig some good Robot action, this movie truly has I feel a lot of fun, entertainment value and is FAR and above better than most of the REAL crap out there.

Due to the seriously egregious and completely unmerited low score, I gave this a generous '7' which for the way I rate films that means that for me personally it was a solid, fun watch.

I don't know what these jaded fools are expecting out there, like 'TRANSFORMERS' visual quality (this movie I thought was more entertaining than some of those multi-billion dollar Michael Bay travesties out there) but, graded by comparison to other similar movies, I would say that if you like this kind of Cheeeezy fun, but honestly done fairly well, there should be no reason at all that you shouldn't enjoy this one to some extent.
