Editorial Review:
From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobotsr and the evil Decepticonsr. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticonsr and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he is mankind's last chance for survival, Sam and Bumblebee, his robot disguised as a car, are in a heart-pounding race against an enemy unlike anything anyone has seen before. It's the incredible, breath-taking film spectacular that USA Today says ''will appeal to the kid in all of us.''

Description of Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition + BD Live) [Blu-ray]:
"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

Pretty good
2009-11-22 - I bought this movie in conjunction with the 2nd transformers movie (which was even better than the first). Both movies are very good and I would recommend them to anyone who likes action flicks because once the action starts it doesn't slow down very much through the whole movie. Also, if you like Shia labeouf, this is a good movie for you because he did a great job in it as well.

Good movie for fans, not a lot of depth
2009-11-22 - Let's face it. This is the sort of movie you watch because you liked the old cartoons, not because you are looking for something with much depth. It fulfils this role admirably well. There are also logical errors that pop up from time to time. For example, the comment about Megatron being brought to Hoover Dam in 1934 and the car being reverse engineered from him misses the fact that cars were around before 1934......

I enjoyed the movie, but it isn't one with a lot of replay value.

Transforming the turkey
2009-11-21 - "Transformers" is arguably the worst movie ever made, with the possible exception of "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Why do so many people take it so seriously? Do they have a crush on Sam's criminal girlfriend? Or on that blond woman with the funny accent? She sounds like Kylie Minogue! The fat Black guys were funny when dancing, but only for so long. Oh yes, there were some robots involved, as well. Did anyone notice?

The concept isn't bad (if you are 12 years old). Evil robot, good robot, the All Spark, hot teenage girl, secret government operations, hackers...

The execution, however, is lousy. Frankly, this must be the ultimate turkey movie. And who on earth is that chicken-eating cowboy who shows up all the time? The guy the Indians shoot at?

Oh, sorry, that was a Swedish TV commercial... My mistake.

The only redeeming feature of "Transformers" is the music. Could have worked in a real epic, about Ulysses or something. But otherwise, you need to be pretty low brow to find this even involuntarily funny.

Zero stars.
