Wicked film, way better than I expected

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2007)

Yeah, I've commented on movies on IMDb a lot, and I usually give them a ten, and this one is no exception. This is another gem that I wasn't all that certain would be good until the first scene, and then WHAM you are hooked! The movie is roughly about the Transformers, technically called Autobots, who are trying to save Earth from the Decepticons, which obviously are the evil version of these machines. From the name Autobot, you can tell that these Transformers do transform into cars, among them the beat up old Camero bought by sixteen year old Sam Witwicky. Anyway, Sam has this peculiar object that the Autobots require in order to save the planet from certain destruction so the geeky teen is recruited to help save humankind from the Decepticons.
As mentioned earlier, I absolutely loved this movie. It has the perfect combination of humour, romance, and awesome action, the effects were very well done (was impressed that a movie as far fetched and ridiculous as a bunch of transforming cars actually seemed almost believable) and was at the edge of my seat the entire time (when I wasn't laughing or even almost crying, but I won't go into any other details, I don't want to spoil it for anyone else). Shia LaBeouf is a very talented young man, very fresh and sweet. An easy ten even if you are not into transforming robots.
