I gotta say…I agree. I probably would take it farther than that.
Don’t get me wrong, this was an entertaining movie. Beautifully produced…
[spoiler]…and I was getting X-Files flashbacks about halfway through. And not in the good way. I thought it was increasingly preachy, hamfisted, not nearly as smart as it thought it was—frankly, outright Godwinny—and quite eager to throw a big chunk of movie universe under the bus to score some story points, logic or long-term planning be damned.
…actually it reminded me a bit of the “Superman At Earth’s End” comic. Where Adolf Hitler’s twin post-apocalyptic clones (!) are apparently blamed for all of humanity’s ills and wars. All of them. No, they’re not time travelers or wizards or anything.
Assuming some subtle nuance didn’t escape the transition from page to video, that particular comic makes Bay’s Pearl Harbor look like World at War.[/spoiler]
Bah…maybe I just needed to vent, a little. Like a cranky little teapot. But this (breathtaking to watch) movie irritated me. And I can’t help but wonder how well it’s going to age…but then, I’m sure I’m in the grotesque minority, on both viewpoints, worldwide. 
(Maybe we can all get together, to commiserate, like when this movie rakes in it’s first billion. We could probably split one of those little frozen cheesecakes, one slice per continent.)
