Based on the Hasbro toy line that initially captivated kids in the 1980s, director Michael Bay's Transformers finds two warring bands of shape-shifting alien robots renewing their intergalactic conflict on Earth. A shining example of the Hollywood summer blockbuster at its best, the much-anticipated sequel returns as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, in which Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) again joins with the Autobots against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons. Combining stunning CGI effects and thrilling action sequences with drama, humor and a touch of romance, this has, as Bay asserts, vastly improved visual effects over the first!
