Cillian Murphy looks stunning on screen, this guy has a bright future. He’s already done some notable films but I think this is the role he will be remembered for.

So, we’re in the future, the sun is dying and the existance of humanity rests in 5 peoples hands. A ship containing a large nuclear bomb is sent on a daring mission to the sun in an attempt to “jump start” it. Unbelievable right? The special effects and sets are incredible, although the plot goes against everything I believe in as a regular Joe with common sense and more than 8 braincells, they way the movie is presented the scenario becomes almost believeable.

The action is terrific, the cast is perfect, the story and direction are the best I have seen in any Sci-Fi movie in years, even if your not a Sci-Fi fan I highly recommend checking this movie out, you wont be sorry. A radiant, cosmic 8.5/10

This movie takes no time to get started, introducing the young and highly talented Shia LaBeouf playing the role of Sam Witwicky, A role he plays to perfection. Without Shia I feel this movie would have been a complete disaster, he truly does steal the show for me.

Although a lot of the plot is complete nonsense and at times makes no sense what so ever, the film makes up for it in some very humors ways. One of my biggest concerns was the blatant advertising shoved down our throat, I saw HP (Hewlett Packard) at least 4 times in the opening 10 minutes, This continues throughout the movie with cars, energy drinks, electrical products, you name it…. its plugged in this film.

Advertising aside, lets talk about the Transformers. They are almost all there with the noticeable difference being bumblebee, of course a VW beetle in the original cartoons, now a Camero? Bay’s idea was to modernize the concept, there had to be some changes and he did reference the original characters VW Beetle early on, during the introduction of the new Camero version Bumblebee.

Optimus Prime’s character was so badly scripted it made me cringe on several occasions but I think his voice acting was pretty spot on. The CGI was incredibly well done but the action sequences were a little too fast and made for some very hectic scenes where almost nothing but a mass of metal could be made out.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie, it’s quirky humor and decent lead actor helped carry the pointless sub-plots and bad dialog, I’d give Transformers the movie a solid 7/10
