Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a 2009 American science fiction action film which was released on June 24, 2009 in North America. It is the sequel to 2007's TransformersTransformers series. and the second film in the live action series. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. The film introduces many more robots and the area has been expanded to numerous countries, most notably France, Jordan and Egypt. The plot revolves around Sam, who has been having visions of Cybertronian symbols, getting hunted by the evil Decepticons under the orders of their long-trapped leader, The Fallen. The Fallen seeks to get revenge on Earth by finding and activating a machine that would provide the Decepticons with an energon source, destroying all life on the planet in the process.
Despite poor critical reception, Revenge of the Fallen achieved the highest Wednesday opening gross in history, bringing in $62 million in North America alone and close to $100 million worldwide; this is also the second-highest opening day gross of all time, behind only The Dark Knight's $67.8 million. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is currently the highest grossing film of 2009.
Despite its success at the box-office, the only reason this movie was somewhat enjoyable to me was that I watched it with my friends and we kept making fun of everything that was happening. We laughed at everything, including the little kids’ -who shouldn't have been watching it- snicker at every little swear word or distasteful hint. If the movie had not been blasting my eardrums with blaring noises in the endless action sequences, I would have surely fallen asleep during the 3 hour long movie.
