A big budget ($150 Million) summer action film based upon a 1980's animated TV show based on a toy line from Hasbro that was released in 2007. Directed by Michael Bay and Produced by Steven Spielberg. It has just about the perfect blend of action and story. Sure it has lame, cliched dialogue and some bad acting but it also has Megan Fox to act as a counter-balance to distract teenage boys and the male audience in general.
This film centers around a race of friendly alien robots called the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime fighting an age old war between their archenemies, the Decepticons, led by Megatron. In search of the AllSpark, the war is brought to the planet Earth where Sam Witwicky, played by Shia LeBeouf, must intervene to aid in the Autobots quest and save himself, his family and the whole human race.
What's most remarkable about this film is the detail that went into the CGI robots (Nominated for an Academy Award although it didn't win) and the solid foundation that it paved for future Transformer films.
Over the course of it's Theatrical Run, it grossed over $319 million in the U.S. (Domestically) and $389 Million overseas (Foreign) for a Worldwide Box office draw of $708 Million. Despite the overwhelming commercial success, it was a critical bomb earning an overall 57% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an overall 61% on Metacritic. The latter rating actually equates to generally favorable reviews on their review aggregator. It was succeeded in 2009 by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Get the Patient Transport mug.in all North American cities and towns ( except Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYC and San Francisco- suburbs not included), an offensive term for the public transit (bus, metro, tram, etc.) system
The reason the 5 cities mentioned above are excluded from the definition of proletariat transportation is because they have a well developed, in North American standards, public transit system.

So basically, Transformers meets Pokemon. The Autobot gotta catch all dem Mini-cons before the Decepticons do.
Eventually all the Transformers have to team up and kill Unicron, but not before Megatron (at that point Galvatron) and Starscream get killed.

Get the Transformers Armada mug.A tablet sold as an Ecstasy pill shaped like an Autobot head. May be bright blue, green, or another color, resembling a children's vitamin. Blue Transformers are known to contain no MDMA, instead being made of a cocktail of TFMPP and BZP, chemicals which badly mimic an Ecstasy high while providing the user with a spectacular hangover, nausea, and headache. Especially nasty when combined with alcohol. Spare yourself a bad time and don't buy or eat these. Often found near Portland, OR, and Seattle, WA.
That dude in the back of the club offered me a Blue Transformer, but my buddy was so sick when he ate one last week that I decided to pass.
