Transformers trailer

Optimus Prime: A necessary sacrifice to bring peace to this planet. We cannot let the humans pay for our mistakes. It's been an honor serving with you all. Autobots, ROLL OUT!

This is really an incredible movie. I was listening to a movie review radio show yesterday talking about Transformers. The hosts both gave their 1-word comments for the movie - '絕!' (unbelievable) and ’形!' (super-cool). My 1 word comment after watching the movie.... Wow!

All the special effects were so real. The transformation of the Transformers were amazing. You can never see enough. Though the story was extremely simple, there were more than enough to fill in the 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay has created a gigantic, spectacular and funny summer blockbuster. Transformers is more than meets the eye! Must see
