Long, but enjoyable.

Hanging out with out 14 year old grandson on a Sat night, and let him pick the movie. Surprisingly, we all liked it. The special effects were really good, it was fun watching the machines transform, the story line was funny. It did seem very long, and there were occasional references and innuendos that were a little embarrassing and frequent mild swear words (that my sweet boy felt like he had to apologize for each time). But it was fun and enjoyable.

This movie series gets some tough critics. If you enjoy great special effects and action packed scenes with a good morale. You'll like this one. I would say 8 years young would my own personal starting point. There are some things that make a mom, go "hmmm"! :)

Transformers
by Mark J. House (5 out of 5 stars)

Who would have ever thought back in the 80's that this very popular cartoon would turn out to be one of the best sci-fi movie series of all time? I remember people saying when they first saw the trailers for this that they thought that it would be good but too cheesy. Do I have to say it? Good Lord, were they ever wrong! SPECIAL...EFFECTS....THAT WILL...BLOW...YOUR...MIND. I repeat: CGI that will destroy your brain! Be prepared to be blown away from the graphics, animation, and effects alone! I am 44 years old and I remember as a kid when Star Wars first was introduced in the 70's and how people were blown away by the effects. Battlestar Galactica was a good example in the TV category back then as well when it comes to "decades ahead of their time" technology. I went YEARS without feeling that sensation once Return of the Jedi left theaters. UNTIL this movie, Transformers, was introduced in the movie theaters. This movie kicked my rear end through the back wall! ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE REGARDLESS OF GENRE.

Great stuff!

I will admit that I was more than a little skeptical when I saw the early trailers for this movie. When I was a kid, I never saw the "point" of the Transformers toys. I figured that somebody was pretty desperate to try & make a movie out of the concept.

Well, as has happened previously in my life, I was wrong. With top-notch talent such as Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg, the HASBRO toy-line is transformed (literally!) onto the big screen quite nicely, and the plot is actually much more gratifying than I would have expected.

One of the more surprising things about the film is that it feels very much like a military action movie, as opposed to a movie about a bunch of toys. The military is depicted in a very positive light in the story, which is always a good thing. It also helps the Autobots engage the Decepticons, as opposed to the human race merely standing on the sidelines while the robots duke it out.

It's a well done film and has a top-notch cast. For me, Megan Fox stole the show. She's certainly not hard on the eyes and has an overwhelming, mysterious beauty. I swear she is the spitting image of a young Jennifer Connolly - right down to her body gestures. {I actually googled her to see if she could be Jennifer's daughter, but they're not related}. Megan has all the subtle acting skills down and I look forward to seeing much more of her in future flicks. Veteran actors John Voight and John Turturro bring an added credibility to the ensemble cast.

Some will say that this film was nothing more than an excuse to showcase eye-candy special effects. To some extent, they might be right. However, even if they are correct on that point, it's no reason not to give this film a try. People who enjoyed movies such as Independence Day (Single Disc Widescreen Edition) and The Rock will be sure to like this one as well.

Not the movie, the experience.

My probably isn't with the movie, but with Amazon here. Amazon does not at all detail what aspect ratios they display movies in. Some movies scale and fit the full screen, but this is not one of those movies. I put it in full screen and I have MASSIVE black bars on all 4 sides. Not just to the left and right, but up and down too. I put it in full screen and there is no scaling what so ever. I feel like i'm watching the movie on a 2012 square smartphone. At least scale the movie to a 16:9 aspect ratio. To top this off, because I started the movie for about 10 seconds, I can't get a refund to try another streaming platform.

Great Movie
by Christopher P. (5 out of 5 stars)

The first Transformers was super cool. I am a huge fan and my kids love them - especially Bumble Bee of course. This came out before Shia LaBeouf went crazy and before they started running out of legitimate storylines. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys good action and good sci-fi.

The Definitive HD DVD title!
by Debt-Free Eric (5 out of 5 stars)
December 24, 2007

Well as with all movies I had to watch Transformers twice to really appreciate it. I must say thats this HD DVD is worth every penny. #1 The Picture is beautiful! There are no complaints here. Just seeing the Transformers close up in HD blew away my theatrical experience. Just looking at the Bumble-bee 2009 Camaro in all its HD glory is worth the price of admission, The picture is a 9.5. #2 The sound is amazing, I'll give it a 9.5. The amount of bass that comes thru as Megatron speaks is just spectacular! Hearing Starscream and Megatron Transform and turn on their afterburners is something your Surround Sound system will love to kick out! Its a house-shaking heck of a good time!

The movie as a whole is something adults and kids can love as a whole...

But wait there's more...this HD DVD includes a Transformers HUD that gives you all the facts and explainations why certain changes were made and provides some insight to the origins of Transformers such as Blackout. Also included is Michael Bay's commentary where he compleely disses the realism of Transformers F-22s versus Live Free & Die Hard's F-22. Its hilarious! Theres so much on disc one alone that it'll take you forever to make it to disc two! There is also a hidden live action Iron Man theatrical trailer if you watch Tranformers thru the end credits, what a treat! Thank You Paramount and thanks to HD DVD the Tranformers have made it to the next level!

Confession!!
by David M. Perry (5 out of 5 stars)
January 7, 2008

I have to confess, I didn't expect much from this movie. I didn't see it on the big screen, and my first exposure to it was thorugh my Blu-Ray home theater. But I was astounded!! This film is another reference film that shows off your home theater to your friends and visitors. The story is pretty good and flows well. The cast is flawless. Shia LaBoef takes the scared and hesitant hero to cynical heights. Good support is displayed by all the cast. The filming and direction are spot on. What truly made it for me was that the computer generated pieces were perfectly blended into the natural film surrounding and made the best blend of computer-realism I've seen yet. The climactic battle scene was too much, and very confusing as to who was engaging who. And through it all LaBoef was frantically running around with a starnge little cube tucked under his arm. But I went along for the whole ride totally. The ladies seemed to enjoy this one as much as the guys, and the HD-DVD transfer is excellent. This one is a must keeper!!!

Transformers from a Mom's view
by RachelfromMaine (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought this movie for my 10 year old son. It was not the kind of movie I usually watch with him. II figured it would be just another movie where the acting is barely tolerable and there's barely a story plot because the point of the movie is the CG action.

Man, was I wrong! I was immediately sucked in! This is a great movie! The autobots do actually have a story, and a good one, and their CG acting is better than real life actors nowadays (my opinion). And the big action scenes~ they slow them down! Instead of speeding the action to make it look more "awesome" to kids (and guys), they put it on slowmo~ so you actually see the transformers transform! And you see what all their gadgetry can do.

Best part? When it was over and I asked my son what his favorite part was, he said he loved how the Transformers always worked as a team- like a family.

Terrible
by Sharon U (1 out of 5 stars)
November 8, 2019

This movie is so terrible. And it's hard on the eyes. The contrast is up so high, even if you adjust your tv. Everyone's skin is bright dark orange. And the movie itself is just so awful. What a waste of money.
