I was in the 2nd year of College when this was released and so could relate very well with all its sci-fi fantastical contents. From childhood onwards I have seen a lot of Michael Bay's films and almost all of his films carry the same tone, the tone of teenage spirit, the exciting rushness of doing this or that plus the teenage aspirations. Transformers 2 is also no exception. The only difference between this film and his rest is that of the topic chosen. This time the topic chosen is technology, yes electronics to be specific. All throughout the movie it depicted more or less the obsessive traits for electronics generally seen among teenagers. The statement 'If God created us then who created them ? ' in somewhere reflects well about it. The creator is ofcourse Hollywood or Michael Bay and his crew. When all these passion for electronics combines with the extra terrestrials, imagine the heat of restlessness, not to mention about Bay's likewise much needed intellectual cinematographic appraisals, action cuts and splendid visuals.
Transformers 2 is a well thought out plan as a sequel, where exciting level is at a high zone, characters all been possessed by the younger traits, reflecting their thirst for genius attitude, lacks the serenity because of sudden appearance of wisdom oriented science in one of the most beautiful and happiest places of USA. Bay didn't stay confined in it rather included the wonders of the world like the great Pyramid, the place where spirituality is preferred higher than technology, at least in modern times. In climax all these creative aspects of High scientific truth, religio-political scenario, the wonderous landscapes with ancient myths fuses into one in the desert where Bay even remembered to point the resurrection concept. The seriousness within the film in some scenes well reflected seriousness but most are not like that, rather are funny. Only Autobots and Decepticons are serious in the film, nevertheless the film has strong logics behind all the tiny situations going around. But a few has flaws like Sam entering the security of Egyptians police etc, whichyou better ignore to enjoy the film.
Technically the film is awesome, impresssive camera works, stunning romance and action, with BGM at an average. The performance of Shia la beouf is enough to entertain you, atleast I would say he saved the spirit of the film. My most favourite funny scene is that of where one character says 'A place of peace, - Shut up Grandma', and serious stuff like transformation into futuristic gadgets. For an entertaining film like this, I have written the review a bit seriously but you don't need to be serious, neither you should expect seriousness from this movie. It's a total entertainment film with tiny bits of almost everything you could think of, family friends, science, faith, myths, action, romance, politics, cars, women, sacrifice, extra terrestials, good, bad etc. Though I liked it, I reserved it for specific moments, not for genuine experience, due to lacking the serenity of progress but rather for getting relaxed and fun. A film satisfying teenage fantasies combo into one, intended for entertainment only and I was entertained in the 1st-2nd watch.
A 7/10. A 73/100.
