Great movie for all.

Rating: 7/10 (26 June 2009)

Part 1 "Transformers" should be watched first before viewing this film as background knowledge and understanding will allow for a better viewing.
As a University student in Sydney, I expected a lengthy adventure worth my concession fee in tickets and this was exactly what I got.
The movie had something from almost every genre of film, comedy, action, sci-fi, romance as well as drama and adventure. There was something for everybody and this is probably why the first transformers did so well.
This sequel however had everything part 1 had and more. The story line is as expected at first with Sam (Shia Lebeouf) trying to live a normal life by going to college and trying to make his relationship with his hot girlfriend (Megan Fox) work. With the everyday struggle of a adolescent on his shoulders, Sam still has to hide his pass role in assisting an alien species of transforming robots to live on Earth. He also has to hide the fact that his car is one of these transforming robots. All though this seems easy, it is actually quite difficult as the director and producers of the film will show.
After having contact with a piece of the all-spark, Sam begins to see visions of a secret language of the transformers. Despite these effects on him, Sam remains in college trying to live a normal life. Meanwhile, the US army work together with the Autobots in tracking down all possible Decepticons still living on Earth. A breakthrough is made when the assisting Decepticons discover where their leader (Megatron) was hidden. This is when the film kicks to another gear.
Great cinematography in the action scenes and special effects, nothing like most have seen. As this is possible the most expensive movie this year with a outrageous 300 million dollar price-tag, expect to be blown away.
A very good movie by today's standards as the anticipation and wait created by the announcement of this movie being made will be rewarded. One downside to the movie, boredom and restlessness may kick in towards the middle as what is expected to happen is prolonged. This is all worthwhile however with the stunning actress's in Megan Fox and Isabelle Lucas providing visual entertainment for most parts of the movies.
Good acting by Shia and Megan allow adolescents to relate and include themselves in the situations which is a bonus for the movie. Great camera work and special effects makes this movie one of the best and worthwhile films of the year.
