Before you read the blabber, i must warn about minimal spoilers which may ruin your excitement while watching the movie.

The film opens with narration about a war between alien races and their link with a planet called earth.

the first encounter of humans with transformers was a breathtaking and amazing scene where a decipticon wipes out a military base within 5 minutes. (hey everythings possible when a film is managed by SKG ;))

the film revolves around a not-so-loser-not-so-geek guy Sam Witwicky who is shown as a guy who tries to get some bling by selling his grand dads ancient equipment on internet and college to get a car and rope in girls and his friends Autobots and Their enemies Decepticons, fighting over 'AllSpark'. an unlimited source of energy.

when Sam has enough grades and extra cash, his dad decides to buy him a car. where he meets 'bumblebee', his guardian autobot. and the chick (Mikaela Banes) automatically comes to him (err.. theres some story for that :p)

Meanwhile Maggie Madsen, an analyst at US Department of Defence, nicks some data from DoD to decrypt at her friends place, is later arrested by FBI for sneaking critical data fom Pentagon.

Bumblebee, makes some mysterious movements at night giving Sam sleepless nights, later when Sam follows bumble bee on his routine night duty, he finds out that his car is actually a alien robot, the next day decepticons find out details about Sam trough the internet and recons with him, threatening to kill him but he is stopped by bumblebee, who rescues Sam.

The Autobots appear on eacth in form of a Truck, Pontiac Solstice, Hummer H2, GMC Topkick Truck and explain their purpose of visiting the earth.



End Of Review and Spoiler.. (muft mein philim mat padha karo! :p)
to know more, just watch the movie and enjoy



When a movie is from SKG family, theres one thing that you need to keep in mind. The movie's CGI wont be compromised at any cost. This movie is from SKG family

Director Michael Bay, did not do complete justice to the film, the film still feels empty to me. however its a class movie!

The director's "action-comedy" sequence is pretty irritating. comedy scenes pop up at the time when you wont expect the most. It pops up while a major battle, serious discussion (hey this is an action packed movie! ;))

there were minor flaws in the movie when compared to actual characters as depicted in the anime. such as the vinyl (painting) on the character, character shapes, sudden popping up of characters out of nowhere, fate of produced characters etc. etc.,

all in all it was a wonderful experience for me to watch this at the theatre TWICE had to be back home before 7 (stupid chores *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif) Rush Hour 3 was going blank here with few audience.

just saw it yesterday (hmm i mean on monday coz itz after 12am :))

awesome movie ..... even if u know nothing about the Transformers comics or the cartoons i would definitely recommend it for the superb CGI effects.
Just watch the autobots and decepticons transform onscreen in their full glory. Not a movie that can be enjoyed at home unless you have a 42 inch or more plasma or a LCD HDTV and a bluray or HDDVD player.

Watched both Chak De and Transformers yesterday in midnight while doing home work.
Both are great movies. Transformers camera direction is not very great though. Director thinks that shaking the camera during action scenes is great, which is wrong.

WTF ? Megatron :|

& made BumbleBee's charachter a SAPPAE BOT:)):)):))

& all American cars ONLY Transformer suks ass now.

wud LOVE to see some European & Asian beauties (i'm talkin of cars, dont misunderstand:p) in Transformers 2, like BMW M3 CSL/M5 :twisted: (obviously:p), Ferrari Enzo/McLaren F1 :twisted:, Porsche 911 Turbo, Mitsubishi Pajero , Lan Evo... Lancia Stratos , Lambo Countach/Diablo (these cars already look like Transformers:p) man that wud ROCK, having LEGENDARY CARS in a movie.

since tat wont happen, i'm waiting for Ronin2 :| & hoping for Audi (or maybe BMW) chases.

Any one who wants to see TRANSFORMERS, do watch it on Theater and not the downloaded one on you Computer. This is one of the films where the movie experience reduces to 40% if you don't watch it in theaters. The effect were really cool.

yup & as of now on CAM videos are available:p

a print in which you cant see 1/4 of left side:))

& quality is crap.

if you wanna watch, watch it in theatre or go read the "300 times sex thread":p. trust me, you'd enjoy reading that thread more than watching that movie in your PC.

Awesome movie man. The special effects were mind-blowing. The last one hour was the best. My favourite part was the one where one of the Decepticons fires missiles and one of the Autobots jumps over them (and over a girl who starts screaming her head off). However the fight between Megatron and Optimus Prime should've been longer. Also they never showed what happened to half of the Decepticons, like the tank guy. We just have to assume they were killed somehow. Also the movie never showed how each of the Decepticons landed on Earth in the first place, unlike Autobots, whose entry was showed. Many of then just popped out of nowhere before the battle over the dam. Still it was a great movie. I'll give it 4/5.

Wiki quote

On May 30, 2007, DreamWorks greenlit two sequels to Transformers. Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Peter Cullen are signed on to return. Producer Tom DeSanto has envisioned a storyline introducing the Dinobots, Constructicons, and Soundwave. Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman may not return, as "the next Star Trek is taking up most of their time." Michael Bay has not signed on, "trying to keep some leverage for the negotiations," but already has ideas, including an aircraft carrier character.The producers expect that with a bigger budget and the special effects worked out, the Transformers will have a larger role.

Had watched this movie first day first show with zero expectations & came out jaw dropped as to how awesome this movie turned out to be.Truely a Michael Bay movie by all standards.I was expecting more of a kiddy show but heck this was for all ages I guess.The most amazing Visual effects till this point I guess.When I came out I was like WTF did I see spiderman 3 for when this movie easily kicked the living daylights out of it.

Man the Bumble Bee was a true highlight in the movie.Add to it was Megan Fox,Hubba Hubba Hubba! this girl is a full blown hottie.The best part about this movie was that the action never stopped it just kept on going & going.Boy am I glad this was more than 2 hours in runtime as I would have been totally pissed if they would have reduced it to their standard 1 hour 20 min lengths.Hope a sequel is in the pipeline.

Guys I have said this everywhere & repeat again.This is one movie which you need to move your butts to watch at a local cinema.Even if you have been frozen for ages inside your homes or even if you get a super high quality R5 or screener,DITCH IT.This is something which deserves a theater watch.

Very happy with the ongoing hits.First 300,Die Hard 4,Rush Hour 3 & now this.Oh man this was one big roller coaster ride.Wish even Batman's sequel The Dark Knight would have made it this summer.;)

@s18000rpm- It doesn't matter, the thread title has a spoiler warning. And anyways most people would've expected Megatron to die.
@charangk- frog dude, not fox:D.
@pathiks- who was FRENZY?
@QwertyManiac- Yeah in the animated series which was aired on Cartoon Network a few years back, Megatron had suddenly changed to Galvatron halfway into the series.

@krazyfrog :D .. who was FRENZY?

The only decepticon which had blue eyes i.e., the smallest of them and which transforms into BoomBox and Mikaela's cellphone.
