Editorial Review:
Dreamworks Transformers - HD-DVD
From director Michael Bayand executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobots(R) andthe evil Decepticons(R). When their epic strugglecomes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticons(R) and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he ismankind'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) [HD DVD]:
"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

Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition) [HD DVD] Reviews:
One of the best movies I have seen in a while 
2009-11-11 - I was never a big fan of such movies but that one is actually one of the best movies I have seen in a while. In my opinion it has everything a good movie needs, an interesting story, great action, and awesome quotes. I am still fascinated how the creators managed to make the transformers look so real.
I am looking forward to see the new transformer movie.
Nothing but nice effects. 
2009-11-11 - The plot was eh. The jokes were too. but i just wanted to see the kid die a horrible death. idk y, i just couldn't stand him and the rest of the cast was so two-dimensional it made me sick.
transformers revenge of the fallen 
2009-11-10 - Its always great shoping with amazon transformer is a great movie its my kind of movie I can't wait for part 3 to come out thank you .
Beautifully Awful Film 
2009-11-02 - I understand who this film was created for. It was created for 14-22 year old men who like watching explosions, special effects, and hot women. On those three counts, this film was a rousing success. I, on the other-hand, enjoy outdated concepts like writing, dialogue, acting and a funny thing called "plot".
The movie is just so badly put together from a thinking mans point of view. Don't get me wrong, the film is a beautiful spectacle. The effects used to create the robots are astonishing. The way Bay refused to hide the effects in darkness was a bold move, and it worked. However, The Dark Knight proved that you can make a smart, thinking mans film, based on a concept generally aimed at children. And on top of all that plot, acting and dialogue, there were also massive special effects. Outside of the visuals, Transformers failed to be even an adequate film on nearly every level.
Here is the most maddening part of the film:
* The military has a cube that the decepticons want. The cube is in a heavily guarded military installation. What is the most logical thing to do with it? Why drive it into the middle of a populated city of course!
If you choose to watch this film, please do yourself a favor and watch it in BluRay with full digital surround sound, and shut off your brain. Just eat popcorn drink soda and "feel" the film for what it is. A vehicle for Michael Bay to show you all his neat toys.

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen 
2009-10-27 - Received very fast. I think I got mine in the mail 1 or 2 days after it came out. And you definitely could not beat the price. Everywhere else seemed to be $27.99 or there abouts. I got mine for $20.00 from Amazon.com. Thanks guys. And thanks for the Free Shipping.
