  • I think Shia, I can’t spell his last name, acting was the weakest part, but outside of that I thought it did a good job by most accounts.

    There is a pretty decent cast that does a good job hitting the comedic and serious tones for what is a ridiculous premise (advanced robots disguising themselves as vehicles). The plot also gives a somewhat reasonable explanation for why the transformers are on earth and links it to human history in a neat way. And I don’t think anyone could argue for the action sequences, at least for the time it released.

    Sure its no Oscar winner, but for what it’s supposed to be I thought it hit most of the marks.

    Now the sequels and future movies, those are all a mess.




  • I got that he is supposed to come off inexperienced, the issue is that I’m not sure the plot of the entire movie changes much if he were removed from the events.

    He never solves the riddlers riddles, he has to be told the answer (which the riddler might have told to anyone at that point). He does disarm the shooters at the very end, but he doesn’t stop any killings/assassination attempt/flooding. It could be argued that maybe the politican would have been successfully killed if he didn’t stop the riddlers henchmen (I don’t think the shooter misses because of Batman, but can’t recall). Additionally, he was the one that really set off the falcone plot point, which may have been dealt with very differently if he didn’t get involved.
















  • You may want to check if that’s 90% of active utilization or things just holding onto the memory “just in case”. If your running CAD, gaming, and have containers actively running at the same time, then yeah 32GB may just be cutting it, but I would find it suprising that you’re actively using 90% frequently.

    I guess more ram could mean not having to worry about spinning the containers up and down, but the only time I hit anywhere near 32GB is when doing heavy data workloads and those are times I’m not worried about running anything else.
