"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.

 Great movie great price October 13, 2008
After seeing this movie in theaters, I was anxious to by it on Blu-ray. Amazon always has what I want, when I want it, and they were there for this one. I got the movie when Amazon said I would. The movie itself is great. If you grew up liking the Transformers, you should give this a viewing. You'll like the Transformers all over again, and it'll get you geared up to see the next film.
Unbelievable Blu-Ray quality. Good popcorn movie. October 13, 2008
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 $$.
 Not all I expected October 12, 2008
As a child I grew up watching Transformers and I loved it. This movie, although very close to the original series is missing a key element: the sound transformers made everytime they turn into anything... you only hear it for about 5 minutes in total for the whole movie... other than that the movie is more than ok and the girl is really hot so it get compensated jajaja. Enjoy!
DECENT ENOUGH October 12, 2008
Having grown up watching the original Transformers cartoons, it's hard to admit certain things about this film.True there are a few well made action scenes and the CGI work is some of the most intricate on celluloid yet.However,the films achilles heel is both the script and CGI.There has obviously been too much time and energy invested on the films teenage chracters.This is not American Pie or an episode of High School Stories...this is Transformers.Also,the CGI work is so advanced that yes,though every little part moves and operates individually,the final shot is one of thousands of undecernable pixels smashing into each other.Though the humor was suprisingly good and present throughout the film,the directors choice to over-modernize a good series with yet more Linkin Park songs and irritating teenagers may turn off fans of the original series.It's a decent film,it's just not about the bots.
 Piss poor quality October 9, 2008
I don't know if it was intended (which some reviews on other sites speculate) or what but this movie looks like crap on Blu-Ray.
It is so grainy that I cannot pay attention to the movie. The weirdest thing is that not all the scenes are like this. It's mostly noticeable through dark colors but there have been times when black is being rendered and it is crystal clear.
It's not my PS3 because every other movie I own is fine.
This just isn't what I expected from such a stellar movie.
Love the movie, hate the blu-ray.
