To get the most enjoyment out of this movie, it is best not to compare it to the original series. In addition, it is best that the movie is seen in the eyes of an alternate universe unto itself, where the story is separate from that seen in the 1980s show. If that can be done [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the movie will be a more fun ride.
Millennia ago, a battle waged on the planet, Cybertron - a planet of bio-organic robots. The heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, battled the evil Decepticons, whose leader, Megatron, wanted to capture the Allspark, a cube that gives unlimited power to whoever possesses it. The Autobots managed to launch the Allspark into space, but Megatron chased after it. He tracked it to Earth but crashed into the Arctic Ocean, freezing his system into a lockdown. He lied there under the ice until 1850 when Captain Witwicky came across Megatron's body during an expedition. His crew dug it up and the U.S. government took possession of it all the following years.

Transformers 2: Fan Expectations
It is now the present day and we find Spike Witwicky, the great grandson of Captain Witwicky, in high school. His father helps him buy his first car from a scrupulous car dealer. Spike finds a beat up sports car and buys it. The car later turns out to be the Autobot Bumblebee, who was sent to protect Spike and Captain Witwicky's glasses, which have the coordinates to the Allspark imprinted on them. The Decepticons show up to get the glasses, Allspark, and free Megatron. Optimus Prime and the Autobots land on Earth to join Bumblebee and regain possession of the Allspark before the Decepticons do. Spike and a girl named Mikaela join forces with the Autobots to outrun the U.S. defense department without harming any humans, battle the Decepticons, capture the Allspark, and save Earth from enslavement.
Since the main characters are giant robots, it makes sense that a considerable amount of the $147 million budget is mostly spent on the robot effects. A mix of CGI (by ILM) and ten close-up props (by KNB Effects) is used, including Optimus Prime's head, Bumblebee's robot mode, Megatron's legs, and Blackout's feet.
Director Michael Bay brings Transformers once again to the big screen, but this time it is live-action! Fans from the 1980s cult classic cartoon series, with a line of toys that has never ceased production ever since, have long-awaited the time when their beloved cartoon would be given the live-action treatment. It took twenty years for technology to become advanced enough to give an adequate portrayal of the robots. It was well-worth the wait!
The robots do look very good. For the diehard fans, the new designs of the robots are vastly different from their original counterparts. While the 1980s robots looked blocky, the new robots have more organic and humanoid bodies and faces which creates more of a wiry, alien appearance. It might take some getting used to by some viewers. Overall, the robots do look more alien-like, which is a positive considering t
The story is simple enough to be thoroughly enjoyable, yet complex enough to have some depth. It offers a fair balance to entertain everyone. The sci-fi element is enhanced by the fact that this more of a "them versus us" theme, similar to "War of the Worlds." It has a bit more depth than the show of the 1980s.
Hardcore, old school fans of the 1980s show and toys were against some of the changes in the live-action movie. Many of these changes had to be made based on trademarks [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], corporate red tape, age of the voice actors [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], technology, and other logistics. While some of the changes will not sit well with some fans, none are that bad as to ruin the movie experience.
