That's a perfect metaphor for the movie in my humble opinion. Bloated with unnecessary appendages.

Seriously, I have never felt so dejected and disenfranchised in my life. I wont waste my money further lining anyone's pockets with relation to this film.

Screenwriting was interrupted by the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, but to avoid production delays the writers spent two weeks writing a treatment, which they handed in the night before the strike began,[11] and Bay expanded the outline into a sixty-page scriptment,[12] fleshing out the action, adding more jokes,[11] as well as selecting the majority of new characters.[13]

I feel the writer's strike, or conflict with Star Trek may have hurt this movie, it's not the writing is bad, It just peters out as soon as Sam hits college. Then everything just becomes a clusterbomb of jock humour, assplosions and grrbots on roids.

Yup I was right:
