Robots clash in third entry of ‘Transformers’

Optimus Prime is shown in a scene from “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.”

Available this week on DVD:

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon”: The war between the Decepticons and Autobots comes to a head in the disastrous third entry in brainless-blockbuster auteur Michael Bay’s toy-inspired franchise. A bloated, morally bankrupt 154-minute spectacle of meaningless violence, it’ll leave you with post-traumatic stress disorder. Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich star. (2:34; PG-13 for intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo) • 1/2
