Transmorphers (2007)

The Asylum does their take on Transformers, and they make it more like the Terminator franchise than robots in disguise. A robotic alien race comes to Earth and decimates the surface of planet forcing humans underground. Transmorphers captures the humans’ attempts to launch a daring new attack on the machines, hundreds of years after the invasion.

The story is incredibly close to what Terminator Salvation would do almost two years later, including the interpersonal relationships and human looking robots, but Transmorphers has a few interesting additions, including lesbianism and cryogenics. Is it possible that The Asylum copy has been copied?

The acting ranges from competent to limited. The effects range from limited to appalling. But it doesn’t matter. This film is pretty good in a bad way. It’s possibly better than Transformers.
