I'm not even a Transformers fan and I loved it!

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2007)

Transformers was definitely one of the big summer blockbusters of 2007, but I never bothered seeing it in the movie theater because I never watched the cartoon when I was a kid. I was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles girl; so basically since I never watched Transformers or played with the toys I figured I would never understand the movie, so why bother? But my friend and her boyfriend saw it opening night, and she's the same as me where she never watched the cartoon, but she said that this was a great film. So I figured I would just wait until the rental just so I can say I wasn't part of the hype that was this summer of the Transformers. So I watched Transformers last night and I have to say that I am amazed, I really did like the movie. It was filled with exciting action sequences, cool dialog, and amazing effects. The story also worked very well and the actors seemed to enjoy doing the movie.
Sam is a teenage boy who is just looking forward to getting his very first car, his dad helps him get a used car that looks pretty busted up and not very special. But that proves to be a wrong theory, one night Sam thinks his car is being stolen when it is driving off. He chases after it and finds out that the car is an alien robot from outer space. He then finds more of these "Autobots" who are at war with the "Decepticons" and are after a box that will give them unlimited power and could possibly destroy Earth. So the Autobots are there to help Sam and his friends to save the world before the Decepticons can destroy it.
Transformers is a great action movie, it occasionally has it's little flaws here and there, I mean when you really think about it, this is just one of those kick butt action movies. But it is a very well done film and I was really impressed on how great job the crew put this movie together. To be honest I now wish that I saw this in the theater because it must have been more exciting to see on the big screen. I would recommend it though, but watch it on a large screen television if you get the chance, I think you'll get the better effect, because that's the only way to watch an action movie.
8/10
