If you have seen Transformers the Movie and Michael Bay's Transformers, then you will most likely see Michael Bay's second Transformers film. The action and CGI delivered was what should be expected at this point. There are many plot points that will have you saying to yourself, wasn't this in the animated movie or that one episode, only to be explained in a "new" way. If you expect a plot that surpasses the original cartoon, then look someplace else. If you are looking for a reason to see giant robots kick @$$, then it was well work the IMAX price. Highly recommend for teenagers (and people that can turn off there cell phone for two-and-a-half hours).
