After a fine first effort in the action/adventure department with “Transformers,” the series ran into major writer’s block (as well as a writer’s strike) with the horrid second installment, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” And while still not up to the inaugural’s standard, the newest release, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, is a decent addition…
You aren’t going to get the full effect here, but a new trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon is now showing in 3D. To really enjoy it, you’ll have to see it during a viewing of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (which you should be going out to watch any way.) This…
