hell ya, this was an awesome movie.
Here was a review I wrote on it:
Went to See: Transformers

Wow, double WOW and TRIPLE WOW!! If you like action movies with high-end CGI then this is your movie. GO TO SEE THIS MOVIE! If you are a techie or someone who just like "on your edge" type movie, then GO! Remember how you felt as you walked out of the theater the first time after you watched "Independence Day"? The entire theater was clapping and cheering, it was so COOL! Could be one of the best adaption of a comic book or cartoon ever made, special effects are best that anyone has ever seen! Awesome FLICK!! We'll be going back to TWICE and will likely see it a few more times before it's theater run is over. You don't have to have _ever_ seen any of the cartoons to understand the plot. It's a nice touch that they had the original voice character from the TV series as Optimus Prime ^_^. The characters are easy to love and hate with their own distinct personalities that really show well on the big screen. Great effects and the "autobots" themselves are purely STUNNING!!! Explosions, robots, car chases, explosions, guns, robots, lots of humor, robots and some explosions.
Micheal Bay brings emotion and humor to bring the movie beyond the stereotypical big budget explosive action flick. The supporting cast as well fill in the gaps to what really makes the movie shine:
the Robots. Yes the robots are fantastic. The effects for the robots alone make this an Oscar movie. Each robot has its own "personality" of sorts and appeal to both the fan boys and new comers alike. Bumblebee will be a favorite of the kids and having Peter Cullen adding voice work for Optimus Prime is icing on the cake. A must see movie.
