One of the greatest action sci-fi films ever made

Rating: 7/10 (9 July 2011)

This live-action adaptation of the TV shows and the toy franchise tells the story about the battle between the autobots and the decepticons as they search for the AllSpark, a device so powerful that can turn mechanics into robots. When it lands on earth, Optimus Prime and the other autobots meet a boy named Sam Witwicky and seeks his help along with his girlfriend Mikaela to find the AllSpark and put an end to the decepticons once and for all.
I saw the trailers for this movie, but I have missed my chances of seeing it in theaters. So, I waited to get it on DVD and viola! I now have the movie and I was excited when it met my expectations.
Michael Bay did really well on his directing and the storyline was well-paced together. The cinematography and casting were great, even Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox's performances were so good and they make a great screen couple. The Witwicky parents weren't given enough screen time, but I think they did pretty well with their comedic moments. The actors that voiced the autobots and the decepticons turned out to be great and they are just like the ones from the TV shows.
The humor was so hilarious, and the best humor part was the pee joke which I really laughed during the movie.
The action scenes were very darn good. I think that Michael Bay was a fan of action scenes from the TV show and did very well at shooting them just to make it look real.
The CGI effects from the Industrial Light and Magic company was that good and it fits well for the action sequences.
The music score was riveting and very cool and it gave some emotion in the whole movie.
The only problem that I do have with this movie is that it's dialog, while smart and witty, is sometimes cheesy, but that doesn't matter because this is a great science fiction action movie from Michael Bay and is way better than Pearl Harbor and the Bad Boys films.
4.5/5 stars
