"I saw Transformers....Julie White was great; someone explain the plot, please"

You asked for it... SPOILERS AHOY

Sam was the great-grandson of an arctic explorer who found the body of Megatron, who had come to earth seeking the Allspark, a cube with the power to give life to machinery. Megatron's computer attempted to write the coordinates of the spark on the wall, but instead etched them into the explorer's glasses. a hundred years later, Sam's trying to sell those glasses on eBay, because he has no family pride and wants to buy a car. This draws the attention of the evil Decepticons, who want to use the Allspark's power to conquer the galaxy. The attention of the Decepticons draws the attention of the heroic Autobots, who send their spy Bumblebee to protect Sam. Bumblebee finds Sam and posing as a Camaro, gets Sam's dad to buy him from Bernie Mac.

At the same time, the Decepticons send technician Blackout (Helicopter) and soldier Skorponok (Scorpion) to attach a remote US military base in Qatar in an attempt to discover the location of their leader, Megatron. Blackout escapes, Skorponok is damaged and flees, which is what hapens when you're a Transformer with no alternate mode. You're just an Er then. When the Qatar plan fails, they try for a more tactful approach, having their spy Frenzy infiltrate Air Force One as a jam box, and use the FBI computer on board. Since it's an airplane, there's no way to stop him in time, and he succeeds.

Soon, the other Autobots have come to earth and joined Sam and Bumblebee, who had recently tangled with Decepticon spy Barricade, a police car. They are leader Optimus Prime (Semi truck), his main adviser Jazz (Porsche), medic/mechanic Ratchet (Emergency response Humvee), and weapons expert Ironhide (Pickup truck). The Autobots get the glasses, and head off to destroy the Allspark, lest it fall into the wrong hands. They are forced to abandon Sam and Bumblebee after they are captured by the government.

Finally, it all comes together. The soldiers from Qatar, Sam, the Decepticons, and the Autobots all find themselves heading to Hoover Dam, where there is a secret government installation housing Megatron and the Allspark. There, Frenzy, who had gotten there with the humans by disguising himself as a cell phone, reactivates Megatron, who is pissed, and loudly announces his name. His second-in-command, Starscream rains down firey hell as an F22 Raptor, and is totally sweet. The heroes are forced to abandon the base, and take the Allspark to Mission City, where it can be safely evacuated. But the Decepticons are onto them, and send their most merciless member, Bonecrusher, to intercept. Optimus Prime totally decapitates him, which is also totally sweet.

In Mission City, there is a huge-ass fight. Bumblebee kills the tank Brawl (or possibly Devastator, as he refers to himself. The toys, promotional bits, and end credits call him Brawl), the soldiers kill Blackout, Megatron kills Jazz, and Starscream runs away as soon as he figures the odds are against him. Optimus and Megatron have a big ol' fight, and Sam kills Megatron by shoving the Allspark into his chest, thus overloading his circuits.

The day is saved, Ironhide takes soldier-boy to his family, Sam and his lady make out on top of Bumblebee, which is weird, Ratchet watches them, which is creepy, and Optimus sends the movie out into space, to invite along anyone who wants to come down for the sequel.

I've heard "Popular" playing in the movie theater before the show starts.

The used clothing store by my apartment was pumping the Cast Album of "See What I Wanna See" so loud you could hear it 2 big blocks away. I thought I was going crazy!

I got it, Yankee.

I thought this was going to be about the woman who is in the womens' restroom in the Gershwin, encouraging everyone through applause and inspirational words, such as, "Good job, ladies! You did it!" as people are exiting the restroom stalls. Bizarre.


hah, I remember her.

I heard, "For Good," at my local theatre the last time I was there. When I was at Universal Studios in Hollywood, I saw the "Wicked" production office. That was sort of cool.
