But he shakes it out while preparing to leave for Princeton, unintentionally rebooting the whole conflict. The shard infuses him with great genius - the Cube being the source of all alien-robot knowledge - making him, once again, the Decepticons' main quarry. And once again, it takes director Michael Bay 144 minutes and a tremendous amount of firepower and heaving bosoms to re-vanquish the Decepticons.

Even the crickets would walk out. Somehow, though, people know that a Pixar movie is worth seeing, worth paying...
