Join Chris as he analyzes & reviews (with FULL SPOILERS) Transformers, the 2007 live-action blockbuster movie directed by the maestro of destruction himself, Michael Bay, and produced by Steven Spielberg!

We enter sound effect heaven with our first entry in the Bayformers retrospective series leading to 2017's Transformers: The Last Knight.

We approach this cartoon-to-film story with a boy and his car action adventure starring the stuttering Shia LaBeouf. We get never before seen action as well as stakes on a global scale!

We explore the origins of the Transformers and explode with a big 3rd act full of robot on robot action - including our long-awaited showdown between Optimus & Megatron.   Did you know Megan Fox is really hot?   Help Chris endure Bay's huge cast and misguided 'comedy' while getting our epic introduction to the great Optimus Prime and his autobots. Do the multiple plotlines work together for a satisfying story?...Does it matter?
