Additional InformationMichael Bay follows up his 2007 big-screen adaptation of the Transformers cartoon/toy franchise with the 2009 sequel TRANSFORMERS û REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. The epic battle for supremacy between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages on, and as usual, it's the humans who are caught in the crossfire. <BR>The Decepticons continue to spearhead a destructive campaign against the earthlings and their Autobot protectors. But the main villain of the piece is The Fallen (voiced by Tony Todd), a centuries-old Giger-esque baddie who emerges from the scrap heap hungry for power. Having lain dormant for so long, his batteries are in serious need of recharging, and the only energy source in the galaxy powerful enough to restore him to his former titanic glory is the Earth's sun. The Fallen realises that draining the sun of its energy has the added benefit of wiping out the entire human race; something he has been plotting ever since his last attempt at harvesting the sun's energy was foiled. <BR>Several characters from the first film return, including Sam (Shia LaBeouf), an all-American college freshman who enjoys a vague 'chosen one' status among the Autobots, and Mikaela (Megan Fox), his girlfriend, who's not only beautiful but handy with a wrench. However, the real star of the show is Optimus Prime (voiced by original voice actor Peter Cullen). The legendary head Autobot is given a lot more screen time in this outing, and features prominently in many of the manic action sequences. You don't even have to be an old-school Transformers fan to pick up on the mythos--he speaks in nothing but searing quips and infinite wisdoms, and can turn into a turbo-charged Mack truck at will. So even if Optimus Prime isn't your mental template for the warrior-king archetype, he still steals the show, and makes TRANSFORMERS 2 more than just passable. With its eye-popping visual effects and dramatic set pieces, this instalment manages to be an even bigger spectacle than the first, which is saying a lot for a film about giant robots that turn into cars.

ReviewsHollywood Reporter - [A] non-stop whirl of flying, battling and crashing machinery... With Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox back as the leads and massive battles involving ships, planes, tanks, rockets and industrial level shape-changing machines, Premiere - It is unapologetic about delivering what it promises. Bigger battles. Massive explosions. Megan Fox looking hot, The Times - REVENGE OF THE FALLEN is the sort of film that might become standard if 13 year-old boys ruled the world... The transformations are even more impressive than those in the first film, Total Film - [TRANSFORMERS û REVENGE OF THE FALLEN] so frequently approaches the first picÆs all-out awesomeness, and even occasionally surpasses it... Old folks may find the relentless sensory assault a little draining, but the bangs, Æbots and bombast ensure Fallen has everything Transformers fans will want and expect, Box Office - REVENGE OF THE FALLEN does not take itself too seriously. There is a neat and jokey atmosphere that pervades throughout, Empire - Marked by swaggering confidence, wild excess and a string of bad-taste jokes... The Shanghai-set opening sequence is lunatic fun... there are more flawlessly rendered money shots in the last 40 minutes alone than in a dozen less ambitious blockbusters, Daily Telegraph - Great special effects
