OMG! CG mother load!

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2007)

There hasn't been a REALLY BIG 4 of July movie since Independence Day, but now enters Transformers. Based on the Hasbro actions figure that have been around for forever, we now find the robotic heroes/villains in search of a cube. But I bet you're wondering, "What does a 6 sided 3D figure have to with this movie?" Well apparently this cube called the Allspark is the center of a war between the Autobots (good guys) and the Desepticons (bad guys), and the Desepticons have followed it to Earth. Go figure. Now Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBouf) and the "girl of his dreams," Mikala (Megan Fox) have to team up with Optimus Prime and the Gang to find the Allspark before the Desepticons do. Ooooo! Like it says in the title of this comment this movie is almost entirely CG. All of the Transformers are beautifully done, so much so that you can see almost every little gear shift as they move. The "morph" sequences are beautifully done, as well, if a little rushed. The only issues though it that during the fight scenes(of which there are lots!), it's hard to distinguish the good from the bad. I also have to give props to all of the actors in this movie. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to try and act with a little tennis ball have to represent a giant robot.
Its a great movie that really anyone over about 11 should see. GO SEE IT!
