 Awesome movie! November 23, 2008
I saw this movie in the theatres and it was just as good if not better on blu-ray disc. Brings back those childhood memories of transformers...
My son's favourite November 22, 2008
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
Arnold

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 ability to morph into perfect replicas of America military and hot-rod technology. Watching a robot realistically transform before your eyes from 'bot to F-15, Camaro, or 18-wheeler is something not to be missed.
This civil war movie is aiming for massive blockbuster appeal, so it goes for a solid PG-13 rating. As a result, we get lots of explosions, some fantastic robot-versus-robot violence, and the occasional hint or two of double-entendre. Yes, a few people get squashed or blown up, but that type of violence is generally minimized (with the one exception where the evil Megatron, leader of the Deceptocons, flicks away a pesky human like a fly, smashing the poor sap into, well, sap).
This is one of those movies that relies heavily on such obvious humor as an Autobot speaking jive almost as bad as that used in "Airplane" by Mrs. Cleaver. For the most part, it works okay. Shia Labouef plays Sam Witwicky, whose ancestor made a critical discovery about the Autobots on earth. He conveniently falls for the local hottie, Maggie (Rachael Taylor), who is gorgeous and knows cars inside and out. So it's no surprise that she insults Sam's Autobot, named Bumblebee, who hides in plain sight as a '68 Camaro. Bumblebee gets insulted and transforms into a brand-spanking new Camaro, conveniently timed for a new rollout by Chevy.
And that's one of the biggest problems of the movie - it plays almost like a commercial for General Motors. I'm somewhat inured to product placement these days, but ever so often the filmmakers go overboard. One easily imagines GM getting credits in the movie for editing, screenplay, and production.
Your younger son may not worry about such things. He'll probably worry more about the fact that some of the action scenes are too muddled to follow. Yes, they are amazing, but like the recent Jason Bourne movies, sometimes the action is shot so close-in that you lose a sense for what's actually happening.
All in all, a fun movie with much to recommend it. But I can't honestly say it's one of the best big-budget extravaganzas I've seen recently. All in all, this movie is best enjoyed by those who won't wonder what the Autobot is thinking as Sam and Maggie hook up on his hood, with the Autobot helpfully providing the Barry White soundtrack.
Great eye candy November 11, 2008

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