Transform and roll out!

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2007)

If I can sum up my feelings on this movie in one word, it would be awesome! Based on the popular 1980's toy and cartoon Transformers is a wild ride from beginning to end. The story is about alien robots who are searching the planet Earth for the Allspark which has the power to turn any type of machine into a transformer robot. A race between the noble Autobots and the evil Decepticons to find it, the main human character Sam Witwicky (Shia Lebouf) is the key to finding it as he has in his possession a pair of eyeglasses which belonged to his great-grandfather that have a map burned into one of the lenses that shows the location of the Allspark. The Decepticons under their leader Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving) want to use it to take over the universe while the Autobots led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen gives the voice he made famous on the 80's cartoon show) want to find it to protect it from the evil robots. The computer and special effects are first rate and the action sequences make you jump for joy. The acting which boasts Academy award winner Jon Voight is right on the money as well. Transformers is one of the best summer movies to come out in a long time, roll out!
