"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." Twenty years after the end of the original cartoon, Michael Bay updated the Transformers franchise with a big-screen, live-action adaptation, and by God, it is epic. There are tons of explosions, Peter Cullen is back as Optimus Prime, there are tons of explosions, there are a number of great jokes, tons of explosions (I feel like I already mentioned this), giant robots, explosions, battle scenes, explosions, a love story, and, of course, explosions (it's a Michael Bay film, after all; I for one cannot wait to see Michael Bay Presents: Bambi).
What's that? You wanted a plot description? Sorry, I almost forgot after all of those damn explosions. Anyways, the Autobots and Decepticons (for those of you who don't know, the former are the good guys) have (as usual) come to Earth to continue the war that they have waged for years on their home planet of Cybertron. Their mission: to find the powerful Allspark (which controls all life on Cybertron) before the other side. To find it, they must first obtain vital clues from young Sam Witwicky, an average high school student who has no idea what he is about to get himself into. OK, there's the plot description. Are you happy?
Rating: 3.5/4
