Unbelievable movie. The Transformers felt real.

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2009)

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS
First off, I would like to say that I did not watch the show and therefore I have nothing to base it against. I did however go into this movie with low expectations because it is more or less based off a toy....
First off, the plot was very engaging. It made it quite plausible that the Transformers would visit earth. The plot is simple, which is nice since the viewers came in for an action flick instead of some twisted movie that drowned in its own plot. The plot: The Autobots (good guys) are in a race against time with the Decepticons (Bad Guys) to find the all powerful AllSpark (a super powered cube). Two humans, Sam (main character... Shia Labeouf) and Mikeala (Megan Fox), are caught in the middle and help the Autobots. The fate of Earth is in their hands...
The music was good as well. It wasn't anything stunning like in Gladiator, but it was present and fitted in well.
The acting was good. Shia Labeouf did a good job as Sam, an awkward kid. At the beginning of the movie he is quite entertaining. Megan Fox did a good job as well. Many people say she was wooden (not great) but I believe she did a good job. Another great thing about her is she is HOT! The animation in this movie was unbelievable! Im not sure how it didn't win an Oscar.
All in all, this movie was great! 9/10 for sure.
