Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox

"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.

Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley

I enjoyed watching this in SD before but was very impressed by the extra detail of the Blu-ray. My only one complaint (hence 4 stars) was that the skin tones are very orange throughout - kind of like a lot of fake tans. Perhaps this was intentional or the actors really are heavily tanned? :)

does this blu ray edition comes with portuguese subtitles??

IMPORTANT NOTE : PORTUGUESE FROM PORTUGAL NOT PORTUGUESE BRASILIAN

thanks to anyone who can help me

First saw this film at the cinema... in a way it reminded me of the first time I went skydiving!! (i.e. total sensory overload!)

It's a complete non stop action-a-thon, with some of the best effects I've seen in a film, probably in terms of a social comparison to Jurassic Park (i.e. if you consider how 'real' Jurassic Park looked in it's day - Transformers is it's 2008 equivalent).

The acting is as Hollywood and cheesy as it gets, it's a bit of an American "OHHH-RAH GO MARINES" type movie - but all that can be forgiven for a couple of hours of sheer eye-candy - all the better on Blu-Ray of course!

I'm never one for watching the special features; but by all accounts, there's loads on the discs for those of you who are interested.

The best accolade I can pay this movie, is that I've probably seen 150 films at the cinema, and this is the first movie I've ever seen where the whole theatre have applauded when the final credits started rolling.

Excellent film; if you can switch off and be entertained without asking too many questions or trying to pick holes in plot lines - you'll love this movie.

WOW what a great bit of film. Director Michael Bay's biggest and best film yet. It has an all star cast with an amazing production team including Executive producer Steven Speilburg (Indiana Jones) Director Micheal Bay (Armageddon) and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Fringe).

If you think this movies for kids think again!!!

Lot's of amazing stunts and tons of action, Transformers is a huge milestone in the film industry.

I was dissapointed when i learnt it was only out for HD-Dvd, until now. The visual effects are stunning the sound is crisp and it all helps when its on High Definition, Blu-Ray. Megan Fox was a bonus, Shia LaBeouf is a talented upcoming young actor. And I can't compare it to any film since the release of the Matrix Blu Ray which i have to get.
