Synopsis

For centuries, two races of robotic aliens–the Autobots and the Decepticons–have waged a war, with the fate of the universe at stake. When the battle comes to Earth, all that stands between the evil Decepticons and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf).

An average teenager, Sam is consumed with everyday worries about school, friends, cars and girls. Unaware that he alone is mankind’s last chance for survival, Sam and his friend Mikaela (Megan Fox) find themselves in a tug of war between the Autobots and Decepticons. With the world hanging in the balance, Sam comes to realize the true meaning behind the Witwicky family motto–“No sacrifice, no victory!”

Critics' reviews

"It's goofy fun with a lot of stuff that blows up real good, and it has the grace not only to realize how preposterous it is, but to make that into an asset (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"If it's true that there's an 8-year-old boy inside every man, "Transformers" is just the ticket to bring the kid out. Big, loud and full of testosterone-fueled car fantasies, Michael Bay's actioner hits a new peak for CGI work"

Jay Weissberg: Variety
"Though he has a way with CGI toys and action set pieces, director Bay does not have a noticeable gift for making human beings come to life. Transformers' multiple earthling story lines are tedious"

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"With lifelike effects and more humanity, '80s action figures get a new look in 'Transformers' (...) [It] is a partly impressive, partly inane buck-banging toy of a movie"

Wesley Morris: Boston Globe
"With Transformers, director Michael Bay has once again claimed the year's top honors for loud, stupid filmmaking"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"The most surprising thing about Michael Bay's much-anticipated, blockbuster-bound Transformers is how funny the movie is. I don't mean funny in an unintentional, Pearl Harbor kind of way"

Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald
"Though it's at least 20 minutes too long and uneven dramatically, the acting is sharp, and it features some of the most spectacular action and effects sequences of any movie of its kind"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
