"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.

Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley

5 out of 5 stars TRANSFORMERS is AWESOME!!!   August 23, 2008
This is an awesome action-robot film based on some action figures! I watched this movie some time last year, then three months ago, back when I was a senior in high school, our English teacher let us watch this, and I'm glad she did because I forgot how cool it was! Sam Witwicky buys a car that happens to be an Autobot named Bumblebee. Sam is introduced to other Autobots, named Optimus Prime, Jazz, and others. (Our dog's name is Jazz!) The Autobots have to save the world and stop the evil Decepticons, and their leader, Megatron. There is a lot of action, gun-play, and robots fighting, if you love that, and a little comedy, you'll love TRANSFORMERS!!!

I am more of a comedy lover but this action packed flash from the past movie was awesome. I have to admit I would not normally choose a move of this genre but I was glad I watched it. The effects are amazing and it is worth sitting in front of the tube for a couple of hours (unlike most movies today).


5 out of 5 stars One of the best movies out there   August 16, 2008

2 out of 5 stars Lame film in disguise   August 9, 2008

This feels like a lot of juvenile farting about in return for 10 minutes of action. It's all too CGI to be impressive, and the teenage subplot is a regular snoozefest. For very wet days. Or read a book.
