"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

 Transformed Into Greatness October 25, 2007

There are moments when a concept that is born in the past, becomes fully realized in the future. Some creators can `see' into a future and craft a product that screams out `Told ya!'. George Lucas was like that with Star Wars. Lester Dent, Issac Asimov, and a host of other authors wrote what is now, decades before the real items existed.
Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay, took a hit concept from the 80's and 90's, and with the assistance of exceptional CGI, turned out a movie that surprised film goers around the world.
Transformers' Sam Witwicky, begins this adventure of a lifetime carshopping with Dad. In the Porsche lot, out of the Porsche lot, into the used car lot. Sam learns a valuable lesson from the salesman, you don't choose a car, it chooses you. And so a beat up Camaro chooses his `master', while destroying the car lot. And so Bumblebee enters his life, and soon, a full blown war between the Decepticons and Autobots engulfs his home town.
Not only is there action, but humor as well. Sam, his girlfriend, the US military, and his robot friends exchange barbs like `I bought a car. Turned out to be a robot. Who knew?' And the `discussion' from Sam's mother on why he had to lock the door? `Were you masterbating? Or should we call it your private time.....?' It's touches like that which turn this film from a CGI dominated production into a film you can watch and enjoy.
Sure, it'll re-introduce many of the Transformers back into pop culture. Sure, there will be a sequel. Yes, the comic will come back one more time. And yes, it will be a hit one more time.
Don't forget the toys....

I'd give the movie 4 stars. It's a fun story, special effects are groundbreaking, but if you really wanted to, you could tear the story apart pretty easily. But it was a summer popcorn movie and if you just watch it for the entertainment, it's a good movie.
The Blu-Ray transfer is amazing. Super sharp images, and the transformers come alive. Blows away seeing it in the theater by a mile. Well worth the $$.
A perfect blu-ray demo disc November 1, 2008

When you go to see a movie like this you are not going to see oscar quality acting. You are going to see fantastic visuals great sound and a lot of stuff blow up. This blu-ray has every thing you need to show off your home theater. Perfect 1080p (or 1080i in my case)and flawless 5.1 dolby true hd sound.

Before this movie was released on blu-ray I bought it for standard DVD. I obviously still own a lot of standard DVD's and building up by blu-ray collection. Although, I was impressed with the standard version of this movie, the blu-ray edition is amazing. I first saw it at Circuit City being played on a Samsung with 120 hz. Wow! I bought it that day (along with the TV!).
