Transmorphers

Sci-Fi NR. A race of alien robots has conquered the Earth and forced humanity underground. After three hundred years of domination, a small group of humans develop a plan to defeat the mechanical invaders in the ultimate battle between man and machine. Ok, let me first say do not go to your local video store and rent this thinking your getting "Transformers" the film is not even in theaters yet people, so don't get this home and after putting it start complaining!!! Leigh Scott's claim to fame so far as a director of film's for The Asylum has to be his version of "War of The Worlds" which in my book was much better than the big budget Tom Cruise POS. The Asylum makes film's both in the "Tie-In" market and they do some original films as well. Most of what I have had the pleasure of reviewing have been very enjoyable and Transmorphers is no exception if you know what you are getting before watching it. The story was pretty good, They used the way the used the Lesbian sub-plot with a lot of class, The set design was great and the effects were pretty good as well considering the budget and how hard it must be making such a film without a lot of backing. The cast is mostly made of of Asylum regulars and for those of you that know their film's know that they can handle most any role and do it well. I asked myself after watching this, "was such an epic sci-fi a little to much to ask from such a low budget?". Well I am sure it wasn't easy making this work as well as it did and except for a few times when I felt the movie dragged on abit I found it to be very entertaining and fun to watch. Pick this title up but have an open mind about what you are watching and you will also find it entertaining. The DVD comes with special features that include:
