Transformers

Being someone whose not really into robot type films, I went into this film not expecting to be taken back much, but that’s exactly what happened. Transformers is so action packed, with a hugely loud spectacle, that I was fastened to my seat for the entire time. The CGI was so incredibly intricate and seamlessly realistic that it made trucks morphing into robots seem almost probable.
This mind boggling assault on the senses is everything I expected from the film, I just didn't expect the humour that ran alongside it. Sam, the lead character brings about down-to-earth dry humour in an American Pie type of way as he tries to pull his long-time crush. The robots meanwhile get there own laughs as they try hiding from Sam's dad in his back garden. This humour definitely balances the insanity of the fight scenes and makes it appeal to a much wider audience.
One of Paramount's objectives was to make the film appeal to females, but there advertising doesn't seem to achieve this- the press and posters are dark and apocalyptic and the trailers don't reflect how fun the film really is. It's not just for robot obsessed people!
The film doesn't have deep character or plot development, but what Transformers does deliver is pure entertainment which doesn't disappoint.
