Product Description
Genre: Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating: PG13 Release Date: 2-SEP-2008 Media Type: Blu-Ray
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

no humans please July 14, 2010 Geoff Fortytwo (San Francisco, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie should have been about giant robots. If you want an emotional film then go ahead and explore the emotional lives of the robots, but no, we end up exploring the boring banal lives of some teenage twits.
Total disappointment. There are action films where the plot gets out of the way so we can have fun. There are action films where the plot and the action work together to make a great movie. Then there are movies like this were the plot gets in the way and totally ruins the fun of the action.
Gotta Have It June 28, 2010 MovieGuru I grew up watching Transformers so of course I'm gonna love the movies. You can't go run with the action, special effects and yeah why not throw in a little eye candy as in Megan Fox. Sure she is not the best actress but who cares cause she is certainly nice to look at. LOL.....
"I am Optimus Prime." Blu Ray review June 17, 2010 Anthony "Is Blu for You" Scultore (NY) Wow! They pulled it off. When I heard that Transformers was being made into a live action feature, I was suspect. Even with today's CGI, I couldn't help but wonder. Kudos to Michael Bay, because not only did he pull it off, it was fantastic. The story centers around Sam (Labeouf), whose great grandfather made one of the greatest discoveries of all time: NBE1. Sam soon finds himself in the middle of a war between Autobots and Decepticons for the All Spark. A cube that can give life and save Cybertron. Protected by Bumblebee and led by Optimus Prime, Sam goes on a wild ride to help the Autobots keep the All Spark from the Decepticons and NBE1 aka: Megatron!
The story is actually well done and not rushed. It takes awhile before you really see a Transformer. The acting is strong as well. LaBeouf is a great fit as Sam and Megan Fox (will not win any oscars) makes for great eye candy. Voight and Turturro are excellent in supporting roles. The real stars are the Transformers and they don't disappoint. Peter Cullen returns from the cartoon to voice Optimus and thank God. He was tremendous! Hugo Weaving plays Megatron and his presence is felt. I was never a big fan of the cartoons growing up, but there is more to this film than meets the eye! (Couldn't help myself!)
NOW FOR MY BLU RAY THOUGHTS: Super sharp and gorgeous! Colors are vibrant and Blu Ray brings these robots to life so much better than DVD! Audio is extremely strong as well. SPECIAL FEATURES: All are carried overs with BD extras. FINAL THOUGHTS: UPGRADE RIGHT NOW!!! A MUST OWN!
