What's The Story?

It's a special day in any young man's life when he gets his first car. The day gets all the more special when it turns out it's not a car at all, but a robot in disguise. Luckily for Sam Witwicky, his new ride is one of the robots out to defend Earth (Autobots) and not destroy it (Decepticons). It will take a mighty battle involving all sorts of military might to keep the bad robots from ruining everything.

Three Good Reasons

• 1 Love him or hate him, director Michael Bay knows how to make things go bang. He won't have to worry about being subtle when it comes to giant fighting robots from space.
• 2 Steven Spielberg producing, with effects by George Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic. Hmm...where has that combination worked well before?
• 3 They haven't forgotten what made the '80s cartoon so great, including Peter Cullen's golden voice for Optimus Prime.
