The Story

Transformers is based on an ideological principle; namely dualism, a war between the good robots "Autobots" and the evil ruthless robots "Decepticons". This time the ultimate war between the robots is taking place on our planet Earth. The only person who can change the outlook of the war is Sam Witwicky (played by Shia Lebeouf), an ordinary teenager with everyday problems such as school, girls and his biggest wish of all which is to own his own car one day. It appears to be in Sam's case that the car chooses it's owner and not the other way around, and gradually Sam realizes that the entire human race is on the verge of extinction if he doesn't help the Autobots.

Movie Review

The movie starts at a furious pace and from the outset the action scenes are plentiful with Transformers engrossing you from the go. Transformers at over two hours is a lengthy motion picture however what makes the film watchable and enjoyable for the entire time is the well written script, dialogue and  outstanding sound and visuals created by Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.

The casting in Transformers is also inspired, many of the roles seem as though they were written for the exact actors cast which creates a cohesive film and most importantly captures the imagination of the audience. Although an action movie throughout; the writers have ensured the film is sprinkled with elements of Comedy and Romance to lighten the atmosphere and ensure a well rounded release. What sets this movie apart from other releases that have been released this year is the perfect balance of incredible CGI with a well written and executed script.

How staunch supporters of the long established Transformer brand will see the film is sure to be hotly debated over the coming months however as far as we are concerned this has been a triumph that could well turn out to be this summers number one blockbuster.
