Bad movie?
More like a basic movie no different from the other movies in its franchise.
I don't know what sets this one apart from the rest in the critics minds. Here is the plot
* The 18 year old main character goes to college and experiences the typical college atmosphere in films.
* He unknowingly absorbs an alien artifact into his body by touching it.
* He encounters the bad robots and they try to kill him and his girlfriend as he has information from the artifact they need.
* He ends up with the other characters in Egypt for a good and bad robot showdown where a weapon is hidden in the pyramids that puts humanity under threat.* Good robots win. He re-unites with his pretty girlfriend. The end.
There is nothing wrong with this movie. It's no more cheesy or terrible than the rest of the film's. I keep hearing "the plot is so bad". No it's not. The plot is basic, the plot allows travel to a foreign land which is exciting for the viewer. An intelligent film? No. A terrible film? Not by a long shot.
