Fantastic film well worth a watch,glad they waited to do this film so the special effects were not compremised so many films have been ruined due to the lack of thought and vision thankfully this is not one of those films a MUST watch and the rest are awesome as well
I watched Transformers both in cinema and on ddvd, really just to kill some dead time first time around, but now i'm hooked. It was the best Action/ Sci Fi film so far this year, filled not only with incredible SFX but great performances from the flesh and blood cast, despite playing second fiddle to the towering robots... Shia Laboeuf turns in a great performance as Sam, a nerdy lad who has to make the jump to all action hero, saving the world while being under some very frightening fire, indeed. Aiding and protecting him in this is his car - a clapped out Camaro which is actually one of the good Transformers, a warrior robot called Bumblebee. The relationship between Bumblebee and Laboeuf is both amusing and touching, and the scenes where the car is trying to help Laboeuf get the girl of his dreams are pure class. The plot sees the good Autobots led by the towering Optimus Prime taking on the evil Decepticons, led by the even larger and very menacing Megatron. Young Sam is in possession of some information which could prove invaluable to either side, and the Decepticons will quite literally use any means possible to obtain this. The Autobots protect Sam, all the while having to take on the Decepticons and a largely incredulous US Army and Air Force. The action sequences are stunning and watching them in a cinema is like seeing a Terminator film for the first time. Sound and vision are stunning. Characterisation is great, with humour and adult themes nicely spliced between the action and SFX. The SFX themselves represent in my opinion the best use to date of the CGI technology which is seamless in this film. Anyway congratulations to Michael Bay for pulling this one out of the hat, after the stinker that was The Island.Read full review
When i first heard this was coming out i thought ' oh god not another trashy comic strip money making kid flick. However how wrong i was! The casting albiet a little inexperienced for my liking was well suited to the film, this film is after all about Optimus Prime and his buddys not Will Smith etc etc. The visual effects are cleverly done, no so much in that they are great, but hey happen so quickly and with camera angles changing so effectively you do not notice the 'shortcuts' they took over the effects, confused? OK so to get the truck/jet/whatever to turn into a often not so similarly sized robot requires magic... no... voodoo.... no, thats just silly... ahhh quick CGFX and clever camera work!! you see? no? i'll move on. Despite being hunks of metal from somewhere far far away you get taken on the sometimes emotional journey of the Autobots... which was always going to be the way... what hollywood movie would be complete without somehow getting all squishy at least once, this manages it a couple of times at least. How i dont know, a quick oil change and they are as good as new surely!?! The humour is simply refreshing, often coming out of the blue and its good to see that this movie despite its advertising campaign does not take itself too seriously. Action? Well you know it has it... i know it has it... Hollywood knew it before it even started the making of the film so yeah its full of it... and so it should be!!! Its Autobots vs. Decepticons for goodness sake. All in all a very cheesy but very enjoyable film that does justice to the cartoon series (for thouse who were lucky enough to of been kids back then) Dont expect anything from this film and you will be highly entertained, watch it with high expectations on the other hand and you may feel a little shortchanged... with a side order of 'seen that, got the lunchbox' (literally)Read full review
