Transformers - 2007

Not bad, it was fun enough. The autobots were cool :-) Not only cars and trucks, but also helicopters and tanks turned into autobots (the nice cars and the shiny trucks were the good autobots, and the police car, the tank and the helicopter were the decepticons). There was also a big scorpion-bot that attacked a group of soldiers in the desert. 
That’s what the movie is all about. There were also actors and characters to fill in the time between bot-fights. Shia LaBeouf played Sam Witwicky, a teenager who gets his first car. The used-car salesman tells him that the car chooses the man, and indeed a yellow car makes a mess until it is chosen. As Sam puts it, he bought a car and it turned out to be an alien robot, and that’s how he got involved in this war. He was chosen by the bot because his great-grandfather (I think) had found Megatron hibernated, and the coordinates of something got imprinted into his glasses, now in Sam’s possession. The glasses weren’t all that useful after all, it seemed to me, since both Megatron and the big cube that could transform every metal into an autobot were in possess of the military. They were using Megatron as a source of technology, but now an imp-bot frees him. 
Other characters are: Mikaela (Megan Fox), the girl that Sam likes. She’s the daughter of a car thief and knows about cars. A genius tech-girl in high heels, the Defense Secretary Jon Voight, a group of soldiers (Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and others). There’s also John Turturro playing the agent who goes to Sam’s house to get him. He was the funniest part, I liked how he played it :-) 
The cool part were the bots. 
Of course the good bots win with Sam’s help, and then Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ratchet the medical officer, and Sam’s car Bumblebee decide to stay here on Earth. Well, one of them ‘died’, I think, torn in two by the bad bots, I think it was Jazz, or Ratchet, not sure. Not the other two, that’s for sure.
