Movie Review: Transformers

This movie is based on the Transformer series of Hasbro toys. The plot of the movie centers on the conflict between two groups of robots from the planet Cybertron. The Autobots (good robots) fight the Decepticons (bad robots) for control of a giant square talisman called Allspark that gives unlimited power to the owner. Sam Witwicky, an awkward teen is befriended by one of the Autobots and is called on to help in a robotic/human struggle for ultimate power. The visual effects are superb. The sound effects and sound track are even better. The plot of fairly shallow, but entertaining.
