Transformers was a movie that was directed by Michael Bay.
It came out in 2007. It was based on the Transformers toy line made by Hasbro.
This film was very successful, making over $700 million. Michael Bay went on to
make three more Transformers movies. A fifth movie is set to come out in the
summer of 2016.
Transformers
stars Shia LaBeouf who plays Sam Witwicky, a teenager who just happens to get
caught up in a war between two groups of alien robots. Sam’s great grandfather
accidently discovered Megatron who was frozen in a block of ice. Megatron was
part of the Decepticons and came to Earth to try and find the AllSpark. He
wanted to use this AllSpark to build an army by giving life to all the
electronics of earth. The Autobots want to stop the Decepticons and destroy the
AllSpark to save the humans.
This
movie was very good and was probably the best of the Transformer movies in my opinion.
Seeing the robots transform for the first time was spectacular to watch. The
idea that these robots can transform into anything they want is also very cool.
All they have to do is scan the object and then they can transform into it.
The
fight scenes in this movie were incredible. Watching these giant robots
fighting was a ton of fun to watch. I also liked how they would transform in
the middle of the battle if they needed to. For example, one of the robots
could turn into a jet. He would land to fight the battle and then take off
before he could be hurt. He also would transform midair to attack other jets
and then transform back.
I also
liked the comedic side of this movie. In one scene the giant robots were trying
to hide from Sam’s parents. However trying to hide five or so giant robots in
the backyard isn’t very easy at all and was funny to watch. I also like all the
characters that were pretty much there just for comedic purposes. Sam’s best
friend had nothing to do with the story and was only in a small part of the
movie. Also Sam’s parents were very comedic and said many things that made me
laugh.
