From director Michael Bay comes the second installment of the Transformer series - "Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen". In this epic sequel, the war between the auto bots and the decepticons continues. The movie begins with a fight sequence involving the NEST, which is a joint umbrella group of humans and auto bots, fighting to eradicate the decepticons from planet Earth. Meanwhile, the protagonist of the series, Sam Whitwicky (Shia Laboeuf) prepares to join college as he leaves his girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox) behind. He encounters a piece of the Cube, the energizer of the transformers, which encodes the location of the Matrix in his mind. This Matrix can be used to activate machines called the Sun Harvesters, which are used by the transformers to transform the energy of the stars for their purposes.
This movie introduces the Fallen, an ancient transformer and founder of the decepticons. The Fallen was a part of a group of elite transformers called the Primes. The Primes had a rule that did not allow any of them to install a Sun Harvester on planet which still had life. The Fallen had flouted this rule and installed one on Earth. Thus, there had been war between Primes and the Fallen and the decepticons were born. This film follows the story of how the Fallen attempts to steal the Matrix from Sam and avenge his defeat at the hands of the Primes, by killing off Earth's Sun.
In line with its predecessor, this movie has stunning visual effects and resounding explosions. With a fast moving script, it keeps the viewer engaged for its full span of 150 minutes. The fight sequences are almost perfectly placed in the movie to enthrall the ones crazy for an adrenaline rush and the true transformers fan. All in all, it's a complete package for all the viewers.
