Transformers
The interstellar battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rains destruction down on planet Earth as director Michael Bay adapts Hasbro and Takara's popular Transformers franchise into a big-budget, live-action summer tentpole extravaganza in this ambitious sci-fi action feature starring Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Bernie Mac, John Turturro, Jon Voight, and, of course, Optimus Prime and Megatron. Long ago, on the planet of Cybertron, a massive, powerful alien race divided into two factions, the noble Autobots, and the devious Decepticons. They fought for the sole access to a talisman known as the Allspark, a cube with the capacity to grant infinite power, and eventually the Autobots smuggled it off the planet's surface, hiding it in an unknown location on Earth. Now, hundreds of years later, the Deceptacons have come looking for it, and if the Autobots don't find it first, the Earth will be enslaved or destroyed by the evil aliens' use of its massive power. The Autobots don't know where the cube was hidden, but the information may be stored in the most unlikely of sources, as a gangly young Earthling named Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) who's just picked up his first car, has a strange connection to the Allspark's history, making him the unlikely ally of these enormous creatures, as they fight for humankind's survival and the chance to return home. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Michael Bay returns to helm the sequel to the highly successful big-screen adaptation of the Transformers toy line for DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures. Much of the original cast returns for the second installment, including Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro, with Rainn Wilson joining in the fun as a college professor. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

Transformers
The live-action adaptation of the Transformers franchise must have been created through some kind of awesome, sci-fi adventure alchemy, no doubt achieved by adding a dose of the original '80s cartoon, a dash of Michael Bay's signature action style, and a pinch of Spielbergian wonderment. And each of these components is injected into the mix perfectly. If Bay knows anything, it's how to reduce us to hyper, enthralled 14-year-olds, and he's an unrivaled master of constructing the action-packed cinematic worlds that make us love movies like this in the first place, full of metal-grinding action sequences and midriff-baring smart-but-tough girls wearing fake eyelashes and six coats of lip gloss. Meanwhile, the Transformers themselves are crafted with fantastic precision, both in personality and in appearance (with the best and most realistic CG yet), reviving our childhood awe and delight with a classic tale of great power, of good and evil, and of giant robots who kick major ass. There was much trepidation among the original show's fans when it was announced that, due to a corporate tie-in with GM, many of the characters would be transforming into different vehicles than they once did. For instance, Bumblebee, a smaller Autobot who's young, spunky, and cute (despite also being a noble soldier who now speaks through the radio because his voice was injured in battle) has always fittingly transformed into a yellow and black VW Beetle -- except now, he turns into a Camaro. The muscle car of choice for high-school football players everywhere might not sound like the right alternate form for our beloved Bumblebee. But the truth for Bumblebee, as well as for all the Transformers that experienced such makeovers, is that the characters are so spot on, the cosmetic changes don't matter. If there's anything the filmmakers seem to understand, it's the distinct personality of each one -- there's even a nod to the bitter rivalry between Megatron and Starscream from the original series, despite there being less time in the film to get to know the Deceptacons. This is all extremely gratifying for Transformers devotees, but it's also very helpful for newcomers to the franchise, who are given the chance to get to know and love the film's heroes. It would be just plain tragic not to acknowledge what it does for the film to have original Optimus Prime voice Peter Cullen reprise his role. Cullen sounds like a cross between a badass action hero, the guy who does the movie trailers, and God. His voice, in combination with the actual character of Optimus Prime, creates the ultimate giant-robot incarnation of the archetypal warrior king: full of bravery, emanating wisdom, and frequently transforming into a kick-ass Mack truck. In Bay's universe, Optimus and his Autobot comrades find a perfect landscape for their epic struggle to defeat those who would use their power for evil. It's not just a universe of fast-paced power and style, but also a universe that inspires even cynical viewers to recapture a childlike delight in entering a world where humanity's own magnificent saviors are 50-foot-tall robot aliens that turn into cars. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Hooray for explosions! Michael Bay follows up his 2007 big-screen adaptation of the Transformers cartoon/toy franchise with the 2009 sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This installment is an even bigger spectacle than the first one, which is saying a lot for a movie about giant robots that turn into cars. It does fall prey to some of the same flaws as its predecessor -- namely that no film based on a toy needs to be two and a half hours long. But if you enjoyed the robo-spastic ride the first time, then you should be happy with this movie, too. And if you complained that the first movie was trite and lacking in character development, then you probably shouldn't even be reading this. The basic premise of the story is, of course, the same as in the first movie: a race of mechanical aliens called Transformers inhabit the earth, blending in with human society when they so choose by changing from their massive, humanoid-robot forms into cars, trucks, planes, etc. The good Transformers, who believe in truth, justice, and GM products, are called the Autobots, while the evil Transformers, who for various reasons would like to kill all humans, are called the Decepticons. This movie differs from the first one mostly because it focuses so hard on the fictional universe's apparently huge mythology. While Decepticon leader Megatron (Hugo Weaving) and his sniveling aide, Starscream (Charlie Adler), continue to spearhead a destructive campaign against the earthlings and their Autobot protectors, the main villain is a character called The Fallen (Tony Todd), who's taken from the comic. Once one of the original 13 Transformers, the former titan is now a zillion-year-old Giger-esque baddie who hangs out on what looks like a reused "machine world" storyboard from the Matrix movies. His glowing red eyes are set on moving to the earth's surface, however, where he can suck all the energy out of the sun. Other than him (and a sometimes indistinguishable collection of new robotic faces, who usually get only one line in before the scene's over), Transformers 2 centers on the same group of characters. There's Sam (Shia LaBeouf), a college freshman who enjoys a vague "chosen one" status among the Autobots, and Mikaela (Megan Fox), his insanely hot girlfriend, who wears false eyelashes while repairing cars in the family body shop. There are also Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White), who inexplicably show up to add needless mushiness to battle scenes, and Major William Lennox (Josh Duhamel), who does a good job of running around looking cut -- as there was no room to otherwise expand his character. But, once again, the real star of the show is Optimus Prime, voiced by original voice actor Peter Cullen. The legendary head Autobot is given a lot more screen time in this movie, and features prominently in many of the manic action sequences, some of which make use of the Transformers' stature for a cool Godzilla-type effect (and some of which involve giant robots fist-fighting). Either way, Prime is likely to lead particularly excitable audiences toward momentous, hyper-adrenaline-fueled applause. Not to get down on the other bots (the ones you can keep track of are sweet), but Optimus Prime does a lot for Transformers 2. Particularly for kids who grew up in the flicker of weirdly earnest '80s cartoons, Optimus Prime is stamped in the collective unconscious, a monomyth of the epic hero that plays in the back of your mind like the guiding spark of a zillion-megawatt light bar, custom mounted to the grille of God's own monster truck. You don't even have to be an old-school Transformers fan to pick up on the mythos -- he speaks in nothing but searing quips and infinite wisdoms, and he turns into a kickass Mack truck. So, even if Optimus Prime isn't your mental template for the warrior-king archetype, he still steals the show, and makes Transformers 2 more than just passable. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
