Michael Bay's "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is an aggressive, fun, loud, exciting movie. A perfect turn off your brain summer flick. The special effects are very good. There are some very cool scenes involving the robots, and the Decepticons steal the show with some new additions and one huge robot made up of many others.
The story is continuing where Transformers left off. More Autobots have come to Earth and formed a government alliance with the humans known as NEST which has the aim of eradicating the Decepticons presence on Earth. We see the return of our favourite Transformers and our favourite human characters such as Sam Witwicky (LaBouf), Mikaela (Fox), Major Lennox (Duhamel), Agent Simmons (Turturro) and Master Sergeant Epps (Gibson). This time the humans and Autobots face their biggest enemy to date as they have to tackle one of the original Transformers, from the Dynasty of Primes known as the Fallen.
17,000 BC the Dynasty was on Earth and the Fallen wanted to harvest the sun which would provide Energons for the AllSpark. His fellow Primes disagreed with his plan as Earth was inhabited by humans so, in order to prevent him from starting the sun harvester destroying the planet, they sacrificed themselves and hid the Matrix of Leadership which powered the harvester. The Fallen vowed to take his revenge on Earth by finding the Matrix and starting up his sun harvester and destroying the humans. Now in the present, Sam Witwicky is going to college, Soundwave has joined the Decepticons forces by hacking into a government satellite to mobilise those who will help The Fallen achieve his revenge.
Overall, Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen is not better than the original. It is a simple to understand, mindless, epic Popcorn Blockbuster Movie, and a pretty good one with cool action scenes, great special effects, exciting new robots, and a lot of humor. Turn off your brain, sit back, and enjoy.
