Transformers DVD Cover
Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, traced the Allspark to Earth, but was frozen and trapped in arctic ice and later discovered by Archibald Witwicky in 1897. The Allspark’s coordinates got imprinted in Archibald’s eyeglasses.
Today: Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) offers Archibald’s eyeglasses on ebay to earn some money for his first car. His father buys him an old 1976 Chevrolet Camaro which turns out to be one of the Autobots, Bumblebee. Both the Decepticons and the Autobots have come to Earth to retrieve the Allspark, and while the Autobots want to protect mankind, the Decepticons have come to destroy.
It’s up to Autobot leader Optimus Prime, his fellow Autobots, Sam Witwicky and his love interest Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) to protect Earth from Megatron and his evil Deceptions.
Review: A good movie about the fight of good vs. evil robots, based on action toys. Overall the mix of Bay-ish action and Spielbergian humanity (with fitting references to Armageddon
My Honest Rating: 7.5/10
