Great for what it was!

I enjoyed Transformers for what it was: a huge, summer blockbuster full of machines blowing up and fighting! No more; no less. I didn't go expecting huge mountains of dialogue, and I wasn't disappointed.
I didn't think this movie would give me serious food for thought that I could discuss around the water cooler the next day; I went to be transported into another world where stars never get blown up, the good guys always win, and the female star is over-the-top gorgeous! (Although even my 20-year-old son did mention that the gratuitous shot of Megan Fox in daisy-dukes straddling a motorcyle might have been too much!)
All in all, we enjoyed the movie, stayed awake, and had a fun family outing. What more could we want?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Costs more for IMAX

We saw this in IMAX 3-D. My husband and I were a little grouchy about the inflated price, but as soon as the opening sequence happened, we were SOLD!
Not only was the IMAX 3-D experience wonderful, I was totally engrossed in the film. Sure, I heard my 4-yr-old daughter ask ,"so how does she go to the bathroom", and "where did they find shoes for her?" but I told her to suspend her reality and take a wild ride, which is what this movie was.
And, like most movies of this genre lately, there were small aside jokes for the adults that were really funny!
My children (ages 4, 9, 17 & 20) all loved it, and so did we!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
