This is quite a strange movie. The prologue talks about how time-travelers go in search of people throughout history who can transform, which means to me that they can transform into something else themselves. What they really meant is that certain people can transformObjects from one form to another.Detective David Nash has recently lost his son in an explosion that was intended for him. The only thing he has left to remind himself of the boy is this toy Robosaurus that they had built together. The detective keeps on having dreams about his son's death-and the toy, but the toy is breathing out flames like a dragon and chewing up life-sized cars. In fact, after a while, he starts finding the toy about his house, as if it has moved on his own.Eventually the detective meets the time-traveler he's seen in his dreams and it's explained to him that he has the power to transform. And what does he transform? That robosaurus toy, of course! In a showdown with the corrupt, weapon-toting bad guys, he's able to transform the dino toy into a towering metal monster, which breathes flame and kills everyone. When the action is over the creature vanishes. Okay. It seems to me that this is somewhat of a stupid talent for people to have-making something small into something big. We're given examples, such as Stonehenge and The Trojan Horse having been made this way, but it's still silly. I did not need to see this really big, fake-looking metal dinosaur that could only move its jaws and claws chase after people who could in reality easily run away from it. I don't know what these filmmakers were thinking....
