"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.
Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley
On the DVD
The special edition of Transformers is packed with extras (and more than a few product placements for Hasbro). The entire second disc is devoted to featurettes on aspects of making the technical tour-de-force--and the land mines involved in tinkering with a beloved '80s franchise. Executive producer Steven Spielberg is very much a part of the proceedings, from his introductory comments ("I think everybody likes the idea of taking something you're familiar with and turning it into something you're not so familiar with--like an 18-wheeler become Optimus Prime") to mentions of his films that influenced this one, like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Director Michael Bay is brash and entertaining as he talks about his initial reluctance to take on the project, his indoctrination at "Transformers U" at Hasbro, and his enthusiasm for guerrilla-style action filmmaking. Star Shia LaBoeuf says, "He is the sickest action director" out there, and there's plenty of evidence here to support that. Other great highlights include features on how key scenes were shot, including the heart-pounding desert battle and the shootout in the streets of downtown L.A.--adrenaline-pumping stuff, even without the Transformers CGI'd in. --A.T.

I've been wanting to buy a blu-ray disc editon of this movie. I just didn't want the ordinary DVD because I'm a fan of high resolution videos. I was not disappointed by the PQ and the audio is quite nice as well. It may not be the best from the BD I own but this one is surely one on top.
Buy this and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Cheers

Michael Bay's "Transformers" is occasionally a visual extravaganza, but one that is somewhat mired in a story that appeals to (only) the twelve-year old boy in all of us.
Based on the action figures and cartoons (which I admittedly loved when I was younger), "Transformers" tells the story of a civil war that devoured planet Cybetron and now has shifted to Earth. Why? Who knows? But it's terrific for the viewer that it did, because the evil Deceptecons and the good Autobots share the ... Read More

Although it took some getting used to seeing the autobots as GM vehicles, I love this movie. Can't wait to see the sequel!

I've bought Transformers BD along with Constantine and V for Vendetta.
And I compared the quality of the movies, I was shocked about the color noise Transformers has comparing to V for Vendetta!
well, this is the source problem, maybe, as we know... Micheal Bay movies, huh. He probably left all his focus on bombing the set up and forgot to check the quality of the videography.
Let's recall what he'd said previously in his official blog, "This movie is BD worth and I'm ... Read More
