Product 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.
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

I bought this movie in conjunction with the 2nd transformers movie (which was even better than the first). Both movies are very good and I would recommend them to anyone who likes action flicks because once the action starts it doesn't slow down very much through the whole movie. Also, if you like Shia labeouf, this is a good movie for you because he did a great job in it as well.

Let's face it. This is the sort of movie you watch because you liked the old cartoons, not because you are looking for something with much depth. It fulfils this role admirably well. There are also logical errors that pop up from time to time. For example, the comment about Megatron being brought to Hoover Dam in 1934 and the car being reverse engineered from him misses the fact that cars were around before 1934......
I enjoyed the movie, but it isn't one with a lot of replay value. ... Read More

"Transformers" is arguably the worst movie ever made, with the possible exception of "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Why do so many people take it so seriously? Do they have a crush on Sam's criminal girlfriend? Or on that blond woman with the funny accent? She sounds like Kylie Minogue! The fat Black guys were funny when dancing, but only for so long. Oh yes, there were some robots involved, as well. Did anyone notice?
The concept isn't bad (if you are 12 years old). Evil robot, good robot, ... Read More

I was never a big fan of such movies but that one is actually one of the best movies I have seen in a while. In my opinion it has everything a good movie needs, an interesting story, great action, and awesome quotes. I am still fascinated how the creators managed to make the transformers look so real.
I am looking forward to see the new transformer movie.
