Transformers
Directed by Michael Bay.
Starring Shia LaBeouf, Rachel Taylor, Megan Fox, Jon Voight.
Nerd-like hero Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) stumbles into a spectacular joy ride with a smoking-hot banged-up '76 Chevy Camaro and equally smoking-hot fantasy girl, Mikeala (Megan Fox) to match. And when the banged-up Camaro transforms into a super-sleek high octane Camaro doing wheelies on the freeway and follows it up with transforming into a powerful alien robot, you get the slight feeling our nerd-like hero might win over smoking-hot fantasy girl in the end.
Earth is caught in the middle of an intergalactic war between two races of robots, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. Sam Witwicky unknowingly holds the key to mankind's survival in his possession and so the race is on.
Along with pretty Aussie actress Rachael Taylor as a computer genius, Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel as smart-looking military dudes, this is a Michael Bay directed winner with fabulous whiz-bang CGI effects, high action, terrific eye candy and laugh-out-loud comedic moments.
