DVD Review: Transformers

I am not the target market for this movie, being the wrong age and gender, but I enjoyed it all the same. It requires a big suspension of disbelief, with huge plot holes you could drive Optimus Prime through, but the "wow" factor more than makes up for it. The effects are truly incredible, even if the robots are a bit on the overdone side. The protagonist is likable, a sort of every-teen who isn't special or handsome, which makes you root for him all the more. He's a good kid, and his parents are great comic relief. The ending leaves plenty of room for a sequel which, due to the success of this movie, I would be willing to bet on. I hope they do as good a job on it.
