Shorts Review: What if Michael Bay Directed ‘Up’?

As some of you may know, I don’t particularly care for Michael Bay’s films – or action films in general, really. However, Bay takes it to a different level, in the worst possible way. But as bad as he is, that’s how good this spoof was.

YouTuber MrStratman7 posted the video, showing a trailer of what the Disney/Pixar animated film Up would be like if Michael Bay had directed it.

Spoiler: there are a lot of lens flares. And explosions. So many explosions. The most dramatic-sounding dialogue and key lines were taken out of Up and edited to make it look like a fast-paced action movie. The only thing that was added was the aforementioned booms & bangs.

It’s a masterpiece. It shows exactly how Michael Bay can take a shitty movie (although Up was great) or a movie that flat-out wouldn’t make a good action film, and presents it as if it will be a quality flick. And the gullible sheep flock to the theater like it’s a slaughterhouse.

This video almost reached perfection, but I’m deducting a point for the sad little extra bit at the end. Bummer, guys.
