Editorial Review:

From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobotsr and the evil Decepticonsr. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticonsr and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he is mankind's last chance for survival, Sam and Bumblebee, his robot disguised as a car, are in a heart-pounding race against an enemy unlike anything anyone has seen before. It's the incredible, breath-taking film spectacular that USA Today says ''will appeal to the kid in all of us.''
"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

Prime:

I had never seen this movie. I am a little old for the comics and cartoons as they were after my time and I pretty much have avoided this movie until the special edition went on sale. My mistake. This is non stop action and special effect from start to finish.
I can't say much as I don't know the original series or alot of the history. What I can say is this was incredible.
Top notch eye candy rounded out by one of the better musical scores and music I have heard in a long time...highly recommend... more info

Best Movie Ever!:

i couldn't wait to get this movie on Blu-Ray. i already had it on DVD, but the Blu-Ray is even better. I only wish I had BD-Live on my BluRay, to take advantage of those extra features. Recommend this movie to anyone who likes action movies or great special effects.

Great Movie:

Anyone who has ever loved the cartoon Transformers should at least appreciate the attempt that was made to give shout outs to the older fans of a really cool cartoon show. Like the fact that Optimus Prime was voiced by the same actor as the cartoon.
I really liked the special features found on this edition of the movie. They kept me entertained for hours and I learned a lot about the making of it. I found them to be full of intersting information and entertaining at the same time.
I feel this take... more info

Other Than the Title it has NOTHING to do with the Transformers:

Michael Bay is a hack. They made the whole movie silly and cliche. They gave no personality to the robots at all. The design of the robots was awful. It was hard if not impossible to make out what was going on in the fight scenes. Megatron doesn't even transform into a gun! The product placement was blatant and repeated constantly. It played like a GM commercial. Tried too hard to be funny. Didn't take the franchise seriously. It put the transformers into a typical cliched plot. Normal schmuck comes into... more info
