Amazing
I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew? deadpans Sam
Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bays 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 effec ts, 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 u nctuous, 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
Transformers was always my favorite cartoon growing up as a child.
Whenever it was on I'd plop myself down in front of the TV screen and
watched for hours on end. Now, being an adult and going to college I've
always missed watching that show. But lucky enough for me, they made a
movie of it. This movie was probably one of the most well thought out and
most well made films I have seen in a long time (even the sequel was good
which is such a shocker.) It made me want to see more ideas from the
producer and writers, and it also made me change my ways of thinking that
not all sequels are terrible. They are now shooting for Transformers 3 so
I've heard, and I can't wait for it to come out. Transformers all the way.
Autobots, roll out.
