Description:
From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobots® and the evil Decepticons®. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticons® 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.'
Amazon.com:
'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
On the DVD
The special edition of Transformers is packed with extras (and more than a few product placements for Hasbro). The entire second disc is devoted to featurettes on aspects of making the technical tour-de-force--and the land mines involved in tinkering with a beloved '80s franchise. Executive producer Steven Spielberg is very much a part of the proceedings, from his introductory comments ('I think everybody likes the idea of taking something you're familiar with and turning it into something you're not so familiar with--like an 18-wheeler become Optimus Prime') to mentions of his films that influenced this one, like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Director Michael Bay is brash and entertaining as he talks about his initial reluctance to take on the project, his indoctrination at 'Transformers U' at Hasbro, and his enthusiasm for guerrilla-style action filmmaking. Star Shia LaBoeuf says, 'He is the sickest action director' out there, and there's plenty of evidence here to support that. Other great highlights include features on how key scenes were shot, including the heart-pounding desert battle and the shootout in the streets of downtown L.A.--adrenaline-pumping stuff, even without the Transformers CGI'd in. --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - A Great Time and Money Well Spent
Truly entertainment you won't fall asleep while watching. BIG...this movie is big time fun. We all really enjoyed watching it, brought back many memories. Kept you hanging on right up through the end. Good for just about any one, okay rated PG-13. So parents need to use their own judgment here. But young and old will enjoy this action packed film.
Rating: - Good movie, Blueray is crisp
Pros: action movie, some comedy, Lebouf is good, Bluray is crisp, nice, sound is great, much better watching this on HD TV than not
Cons: Transformers are sometime corny, they aren't faithful to cartoon/toys/even names at times, focus too much on humans and not... the Transformers
Still fairly good movie in my opinion.
Rating:  - YAWN!!!
I bought this for my son who is nuts over the Transformers toys.It didn't even hold his attention for 5 minutes.The husband and I tried to watch it also but were bored to tears.If you like sci-fi type stuff you may be able to withstand the deluge of laser and things but we were not.
Rating: - Reference picture and sound!
I have become more of a fan of this movie since owning it on blu-ray.I previously owned the DVD version because I didn't want HD-DVD, and I wasn't as excited about the film as most people.However, I got the Blu-ray version at a great price and now I really enjoy the movie.The visuals and the sound are among the best I've ever experienced and Blu-ray truly brings the viewer in touch with the director's intentions and experiece.If you are like I was, on the fence about this movie and you don't ...
